llvm-3.1: Cyclic dependency on libstdcxx

[harry.weppner@…]

llvm-3.1 build fails because

:debug:build Registry error: libstdcxx not registered as installed & active.

However, libstdcxx depends on cctools, which depends on llvm-3.1 which creates a cyclic dependency.

This is on 10.6.8 (ppc) using powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5566)

Thanks & cheerio, Harry.

Thanks for the ticket. In the future, please try to remember to CC any port maintainers.

You need to install apple-gcc-4.2 +bootstrap first.

Hi Jeremy,

that's not an option as the error Error: Please install this port without the bootstrap variant. is reported due to:

    pre-fetch {
        if {([file exists ${prefix}/bin/ld] && [file exists ${prefix}/bin/as]) || ${os.major} > 8} {
            ui_error "Please install this port without the bootstrap variant."

Cheerio, Harry.

Ok, so then you already have cctools and ld64 and apple-gcc42 on your system ...

The +bootstrap variant is there to break the cyclic dependency for the initial install, but after that, you don't need to break it any more.

So what is the actual problem you are reporting? Is it the cycle (invalid) or the python3 issue (duplicate) or something else?

If it's python3, please use python2 when building llvm-*. If it's the cycle, that's perfectly fine. If it's something else, please open a new ticket specific to that issue.

Hi Jeremy,

didn't realize there was an issue with python3 - selected python27 and the build proceeded fine. Thanks!

Cheerio, Harry.

Great, thanks for reporting back.
