This is first time Apache2 install. See the attached log file

The log is not complete (contains lines "Skipping completed"). Please clean and try again, and if it fails again, attach the new complete main.log.

Okay I've done it, but still can't install.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, so the error is still:

libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

This sounds like ​the problem I described on the mailing list last month. Please rebuild libtool.

sudo port -n upgrade --force libtool

I tried this without any success. I realize that the port command installs the binary version of libtool. Then I added -s switch to build source version, but apache install still fails. See output.log attached file. The main.log file is the same.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, then please try also rebuilding apr and apr-util.

[pavelc@…]

It works now! Thanks!

[vladimir.popov@…]

got same problem today tried

sudo port -n upgrade --force libtool apr apr-util
sudo port clean apache2
sudo port install apache2

and still getting

:info:build libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
:info:build libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'

[vladimir.popov@…]

compiled at last, but before I had to change CC and GCC manually to point to i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2

Where? How?

[vladimir.popov@…]

sudo su -
gcc --version

I have i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.9) if not,

cd /usr/bin/
ls -l|grep llvm-gcc

you supposed to find path to llvm-gcc-4.2 i have line like

lrwxr-xr-x    1 root   admin        32 Aug  3 15:12 llvm-gcc-4.2 -> ../llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2

then

rm gcc 
ln -s ../llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 gcc

and maybe

rm cc
ln -s ../llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 cc

That's it. Now rebuild ports

port -n uninstall libtool apr-util apr
port -s install libtool apr apr-util apache2

this worked for me, good luck)

[xeno_ngc@…]

Relinking gcc and cc, reinstalling libtool, apr, apr-util and apache2 did the trick. Thanks!

This also worked for me.

Has duplicate #30744 which contains a link to the upstream bug report and the proper fix, which is to use --tag arguments on each invocation of libtool.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Fixed in r86196.
