metis @5.1.0: cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable"

[precioso.p.gabrillo@…]

After installing dependencies, I tried to install octave using the wiki instruction:

sudo port install octave-devel +atlas+docs

However, ran into this error:

Error: org.macports.build for port metis returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port metis for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_metis/metis/main.log
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
Error: Unable to execute port: upgrade metis failed

Found another ticket with metis issue and tried the solution there:

Attach the log from the latest try. This overwrote the previous log file but I uploaded to the poppler ticket so both are available.

Forgot to add: using Mac OSX 10.6.8 with XCode 3.2.6

The poppler ticket mentioned here is #38762, for other's reference.

I'm guessing that the developers of metis starting using the option -Wno-unused-but-set-variable in 5.1.0 to suppress some errors they didn't want to see, not realizing that this flag may not be compatible with older versions of gcc such as the one you're using in Xcode 3.2.6. You should report this problem to the developers of metis so that they can fix it.

Fixed in r105190. Maybe upstream will fix this issue, but just removing that -W setting is easy enough and changes nothing about the resulting binaries or installed files.

I tried and getting the same error. What I did:

sudo port clean octave
--->  Cleaning octave
sudo port clean metis
--->  Cleaning metis

Using the same install instruction: sudo port install octave-devel +atlas+docs

Error same as last time.

metis @5.1.0 (math)
Variants:             openmpi, universal

Description:          METIS is a set of programs for partitioning graphs and for
                      producing fill reducing orderings for sparse matrices. The
                      algorithms implemented by METIS are based on the
                      multilevel graph partitioning scheme described in [KK95a]
                      and [KK95e]. METIS provides high quality partitions, is
                      extremely fast, and produces low fill orderings.

You need to run sudo port selfupdate first to receive the fixes that were committed.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Ahh, miss this in the docs.

After doing this and install, it made it through although a lot of Warning:Error {...} lines:

--->  Updating database of binaries: 0.9%
Warning: Error determining file type of `/opt/local/bin/pcre-config': lstat(/opt/local/bin/pcre-config):no such file or directory
Warning: A file belonging to the `pcre' port is missing or unreadable. Consider reinstalling it.
--->  Updating database of binaries: 100.0%

But it works. Thank you for the help.

As the message says, a file that's supposed to be part of the pcre port is missing. Consider reinstalling it, i.e.:

sudo port clean pcre
sudo port -n upgrade --force pcre
