This wasn’t a clean build. Please run sudo port clean alps && sudo port install alps and attach the new main.log if it fails again.

Sorry about that, hopefully this one is better.

There is a behaviour change from cmake in 2.8.10 which breaks the compilation. I have to write a patch for the CMakeLists.txt. I hope, I find time next week to fix the port

[Russell-Jones-OxPhys (Russell Jones)]

I've tested this on our 10.8 build server and a colleague has tried it on one of our cloned 10.7 installation, and the same problem occurs. The issue seems to be related to cmake configuration failing because the cmake scripts try to write to the root directory, presumably because a required variable has not been set. Might this be related to the recent changes in cmake's list of supported variables? ( See ​http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake-developers/2012-October/005535.html )

The alps main.log files for the 10.8 build server is attached, the 10.7 build server is still going (it's building +universal, so pre-built binaries are not available).

[Russell-Jones-OxPhys (Russell Jones)]

Hi gamperl, do you know of somewhere the change is discussed, e.g. in one of the changelogs or a mailing list?

Hi, I updateed the Portfile (Ticket #39830). As soon as the patch gets applied, alps should work again.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks. In future please attach patches directly to the ticket in question instead of filing a new one.
