apple-gcc42 @5666.3_12 fails build under PPC Tiger

[ultrajoe@…]

While apple-gcc42 @5666.3_11 (from memory here) built find under Tiger, the current version fails to build properly, at least when built with the default compiler (XCode's apple-gcc-4.0). Since I built the previous update using itself (or the previous version of itself), I am attempting to rebuild using configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2.

The current version is actually @5666.3_13; please test whether that builds with the default gcc-4.0 compiler. (I'll do so as well.)

My apologies. The version should be 5666.3_13. I accidentally copied the output of port echo outdated, which shows the old version.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

The only difference between 12 and 13 is a patch for the +gpl3 variant =/

[ultrajoe@…]

Strange.

For the record, though, it compiled under apple-gcc42 @5666.3_12. It's possible that _12 had the issue, as I had to compile other outdated ports with it. Since it takes about 4-5 hours just to get to that point, I'm a bit hesitant to retry it.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It built fine for me on Tiger PPC with the default gcc-4.0 compiler.

Any fixes yet. Failing with Tiger 5666.3_13 here. Thanks

Seeing as how this issue is occurring on Tiger/ppc, and Ryan isn't able to reproduce it, if there is going to be a fix, it is going to require more information from you. Try to figure out why it builds for Ryan and not you.

It would help if someone could look at the log file and determine where the error is. I only saw an Error 139 returned, which means nothing to me.

I did try rebuilding @5666.3_12 using 4.0, but it finished without doing anything. I really didn't want to have to clean --all but it looks like I'll have to do so to get anywhere.

Certainly if the build failed with one compiler, and you want to retry with a different compiler, you should clean the port first. Cleaning --all, however, is not necessary. That would remove the distfiles, and there's nothing wrong with them. A normal clean, without --all, is fine.

Nonetheless, without the above log analysis, I don't know what other information to pass along!

I can try comparing the attached logfile with the one my system generated and see if any interesting differences show up.

I'll try to get some log output tomorrow sometime.

Now glib2 is failing to compile because it wants to compile apple-gcc42 first

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

The instructions are right there in what you copy/pasted

Please install this port without the bootstrap variant.

Do this:

sudo port -v -s install cctools
sudo port -v -s install ld64
sudo port -v -f uninstall apple-gcc42
sudo port -v -s install apple-gcc42 -bootstrap

[josephaw@…]

I already had xcode installed so I skipped the first two lines. I tried to remove the old apple-gcc42 but it said it was in use, so I just reinstalled it on top of the older version and it worked just fine, the problem was resolved and I was able to update glib2 as well. Thank you.
