Description

I just upgraded my install and gdb didn't build anymore. Here's what the log file returned:

:info:build make[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/macports-test/var/macports/build/_opt_macports-test_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_gdb/gdb/work/gdb-7.5/gdb'

gdb built fine for my on one system and then failed on another, which turned out being due to cctools-headers being installed. Do you have that package installed? If so:

  1. port deactivate cctools-headers
  2. port clean gdb
  3. port install gdb
  4. port activate cctools-headers

comment:2 Changed 12 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

No, I don't have this port installed on my end.

comment:3 Changed 12 years ago by blair (Blair Zajac)

I cannot tell what's causing it to fail, but my guess is you have a port that is providing a header file that gdb is picking up before its own. You'll need to look at the header files and see what it found versus what it expected. What I normally do is have gcc/g++/clang/clang++ provided the output following the C-preprocessor phase so I can see the paths it picked up. In your case, something like removing everything from -c to .deps/amd64-tdep.Tpo and replacing it with -E would help:

/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -pipe -O2 -I/opt/macports-test/include -arch x86_64 -I. -I. -I./common -I./config -DLOCALEDIR="\"/opt/macports-test/share/locale\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./../include/opcode -I./../opcodes/.. -I./../readline/.. -I../bfd -I./../bfd -I./../include -I../libdecnumber -I./../libdecnumber -I./gnulib/import -Ibuild-gnulib/import -DTUI=1 -I/opt/macports-test/include -I/opt/macports-test/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -I/opt/macports-test/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -Wall -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wpointer-arith -Wformat-nonliteral -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-unused -Wunused-value -Wunused-function -Wno-switch -Wno-char-subscripts -Wmissing-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement -E amd64-tdep.c | less

Something else to do is find all the .h files in gdb's source and use find /opt/macports-test -name to see if it's there also.

Once you find the offending port, I can check for it in the Portfile to warn people that they'll need to have it deactivated.

I don't know whether that's something to worry about.

pre-processor's output

comment:5 Changed 12 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

In gdb/defs.h one finds in line 29:

#include "config.h"     /* Generated by configure.  */

where it's pointed out that config.h gets generated by configure. But, although I ran "port configure" initially the file config.h is nowhere to be found in the work/gdb-7.5/

comment:6 Changed 12 years ago by blair (Blair Zajac)

It won't create the config.h until you've built it. Do 'port build gdb' and then cd into gdb and run the gcc command again (assuming it's the exact same failure).

comment:9 in reply to:  description ; Changed 12 years ago by j.hafey@…

Replying to mk@…: I suspect that the problem is that /opt/.../include is being included before ../include which is most likely using the (old) ansidecl.h from /opt/.../include which does not have the ENUM_BITFIELD macro which symtab.h is relying on. If this is what is causing the problem, you should be able to install after deactivating the offending package (sudo port deactivate gdb && sudo port install gdb).

Which is indeed the case. After deactivation of the old gdb I was able to install the current version.

Thanks, J.!!! :-)

I guess this port would need a pre-build phase which automatically deactivates an existing gdb!

Has duplicate #36510.

comment:14 Changed 12 years ago by eborisch (Eric A. Borisch)

Not sure this ticket should be closed just yet... Shouldn't this (and handling of the cctools-headers conflict) be described in a notes or ui_msg item in the port? Something to alert the user that they are about to run into a known issue, and "here is how to work around it?"

comment:15 Changed 12 years ago by blair (Blair Zajac)

There is a check for cctools-headers I put in, so it'll error early. There isn't a check for an existing gdb install though, that could be added.

The best fix is to update the include file path so it doesn't matter what's installed.

comment:16 in reply to:  1 ; Changed 12 years ago by evandrix (Lee Wei Yeong)

FTFY

  1. sudo port -f deactivate cctools-headers
  2. sudo port -f clean --all gdb
  3. sudo port -d install gdb
  4. sudo port activate cctools-headers

FTFY

Would be best if the described workflow would be suggested by port gdb itself, requiring that the port detects whether it's already installed on the system.

That's why I follow eborisch's doubt that this issue shouldn't be closed.

Trying to update 7.3_1 to 7.5_0 I got similar (bug not identical) gdb compile errors as the ones shown above. I'm on OS X 10.8.2 (12C60) with XCode 4.5.1 (4G1004) and Macports tried to use this compiler to build gdb:

@Deil best if you can see what's on your system that's causing the compile failure, either by debugging the build and seeing which header file is being included by manually running:

/usr/bin/clang -pipe -O2 -I/opt/local/include -Wno-unused-value -arch x86_64   -I. -I. -I./common -I./config -DLOCALEDIR="\"/opt/local/share/locale\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./../include/opcode -I./../opcodes/.. -I./../readline/.. -I../bfd -I./../bfd -I./../include -I../libdecnumber -I./../libdecnumber  -I./gnulib/import -Ibuild-gnulib/import   -DTUI=1  -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -I/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -Wall -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wpointer-arith -Wformat-nonliteral -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-unused -Wunused-value -Wunused-function -Wno-switch -Wno-char-subscripts -Wmissing-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement -MT ser-base.o -MMD -MP -MF .deps/ser-base.Tpo ser-base.c -E | less

or deactivating ports that look like they could cause gdb a build issue.

Did you try deactivating your current gdb before upgrading?
