In the future, please use WikiFormatting.

The error is:

:info:configure configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

That means that you have not correctly ​installed the Xcode command line tools.

I'm seeing the same problem and I >have< correctly installed the command line tools.

Looking at config.log:

It seems like there's a missing dependency on liberty.

Changing the following allows it to compile but feels like a really broken solution:

/depends_lib         port:gettext port:libusb-compat port:zlib \
                    port:avr-binutils port:gcc48

configure.cc        gcc-mp-4.8
configure.cxx       g++-mp-4.8
configure.args      --mandir=${prefix}/share/man \
                    --enable-target-programming
configure.ldflags-append    -lz \
                            -L${prefix}/avr/host/lib -lbfd \
                            -L/opt/local/lib/gcc48/x86_64 -liberty

I'm not sure why /opt/local/lib/gcc48/x86_64 isn't in the search path for gcc-mp-4.8, but it isn't. In any case forcing the gcc 4.8 doesn't seem like the right answer.

Dwb, your fix worked for me. Thanks!

[eckart.schlottmann@…]

The fix also worked for me. Please note: The change needs to be done in the right Portfile (two are existing in my installation):

/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/cross/avarice/Portfile

and

/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/cross/avarice/Portfile

Get the correct file by asking the system:

sudo port file avarice

gives for me

/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/cross/avarice/Portfile

which is good.

Fixed in r117877 by installing libiberty with avr-binutils.
