erlang @R14B04 build hangs in Lion, in beam.smp, no cpu usage

[gthb (Gunnlaugur Thor Briem)]

The erlang build seems to be hung indefinitely, in a fresh macports on a new machine running Lion / XCode 4.2.

Attached are the main.log (appears truncated, probably output buffer not flushed) and pstree output showing the process being run (beam.smp).

Not sure how to help trace this further (am not Erlang-savvy), please advise.

Is there any further information that I can provide to help troubleshoot this?

Hm: this sounds like a duplicate of #30012. That's supposed to be fixed 3 months ago with r81296, but the {{-O0}} flags in that were reverted in r84975, without explanation (accident?). So I guess this regressed?

I tried patching the portfile with r81296, and did get past the hang, but the build failed with another error:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_bp_sched2ix", referenced from:
      _load_nif_2 in erl_nif.o
      _is_break in beam_bp.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

I'll attach the full log from that failed build of the patched port.

See uploaded erlang.portfile.patch in #31585. With this patch I was able to build erlang and it works on Lion.

[vkuznet (Valentin Kuznetsov)]

BTW, I build it with the following command

sudo port install erlang +ssl

[gthb (Gunnlaugur Thor Briem)]

Yep, that worked for me too. Thanks!

Replying to gunnlaugur@…:

No. The upstream sources changed such that Clang properly builds Erlang. I'm not sure why you are experiencing the problems you are.

It appears to be hanging for me at the following line:

erlc -W  +debug_info +inline -o../ebin hipe_rtl.erl

I'm getting the same error at the same place.

couldn't get it working with the patch file from #31585, added gcc45 for lion, that worked for me, see erlang.Portfile.patch
