Can you try using LLVM-GCC?

% sudo port clean mailsync
% sudo port install mailsync configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

[posita (Matt Bogosian)]

That worked.

Is it possible to incorporate this as part of the port? Are there such things as conditional build dependencies (i.e., if platform X, build tools Y, depend on llvm-gcc-4.2, etc.)? My apologies for my ignorance....

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

MacPorts maintains lists of compilers​ that it prefers to use, based on Xcode version.

Ideally someone would patch the source to build correctly with Clang, but I have neither the time nor interest to do so, especially with such an old piece of software. I just blacklisted all Clang values in r106366.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

That error seems to have nothing to do with clang... reverted in r110463

You've got a ton of __PATH__ tokens in configure for some reason...

Works for me, so just removing the blacklisting.

[posita (Matt Bogosian)]

The __PATH__ tokens are from a search-and-replace I did on the logs. I was trying to highlight that MacPorts was installed in a non-standard place. If I didn't already mention it, my installation is also a user installation (e.g., installed in /home/[USER]/.macports or something similar).

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Ah. Sorry for not understanding that. I've verified that the issue exists with 2.9 and 3.0, so blacklisting those and < 400 in r110553
