Component: ports Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: Cc: hapaguy (Brian Kurt Fujikawa), ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Port: python34

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

When trying to install the latest python34 port today I get the following error message;

--->  Applying patches to python34
--->  Configuring python34
--->  Building python34
Error: org.macports.build for port python34 returned: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port python34 for details:

To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port python34 failed

The referenced log file includes these lines;

I have attached the full log file to the ticket if that helps.

I already have the python33 port installed but got the same errors messages after I had uninstalled it so I don't think that the problem is across Python versions

One suspicious thing I notice in the log:

CC='/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2'

Upstream, we had to blacklist the Apple llvm-gcc-4.2 compiler (as shipped with Xcode 4) for Python 3.3 because we were getting broken builds out of it. It seemed to work OK with earlier versions of Python but we gave up trying to isolate the problem when it became clear that Apple was understandably not interested in fixing the deprecated compiler. I have not tried Python 3.4 with that compiler but it wouldn't surprise me if it were still a problem. For 10.6, our recommendation is to use the "real" (non-LLVM) Apple gcc-4.2 from Xcode 3. For later releases, use Apple clang.

The log says this was on 10.7, so MacPorts should have chosen clang as the compiler. What version of Xcode is installed, please?

comment:5 Changed 10 years ago by ned-deily (Ned Deily)

As a followup, with access once again to 10.7, I was able to confirm that the build failure is seen on a plain, non-MacPorts source build of Python 3.4.0 when using Apple llvm-gcc:

./configure CC=/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 && make
...
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 672, in _code_to_bytecode
ValueError: unmarshallable object
make: *** [pybuilddir.txt] Segmentation fault: 11

and builds correctly and tests pass as expected with clang (both from the most recent Xcode 4 for 10.7) :

./configure CC=/usr/bin/clang && make

I have Xcode 4.2.1 (Build 4D502)

Just tried again and Python 3.4.0.2 downloads and installs correctly.

Ok, glad it worked this time.

Consider updating to Xcode 4.6.3, the last version for OS X 10.7.
