apr-util @1.5.4 build never finishes

[felzmann (Ulrich Felzmann)]

There seems to be a race condition in the build of apr-build as the linking never finishes.

libtool: compile: Waiting for apr_brigade.o.lock to be removed
libtool: compile: Waiting for apr_buckets.o.lock to be removed
libtool: compile: Waiting for apr_buckets_eos.o.lock to be removed
libtool: compile: Waiting for apr_buckets_alloc.o.lock to be removed
libtool: compile: Waiting for apr_buckets_eos.o.lock to be removed
libtool: compile: Waiting for apr_buckets_alloc.o.lock to be removed
libtool: compile: Waiting for apr_buckets.o.lock to be removed
libtool: compile: Waiting for apr_buckets_file.o.lock to be removed
libtool: compile: Waiting for apr_brigade.o.lock to be removed

This output continues for hours...

Also, I can't find any of these lock files anywhere.

Output of port -v install apr-util is attached.

Can you attach a clean/complete build log that shows the problem (clean first, so we get the full output)? If you can replicate this easily, after you generate a complete build log, can you try to force a non-parallel build (port -v install apr-util build.jobs=1) and see if that fixes it?

I've not seen any problems with parallel build - but that doesn't mean there's not a problem.

Thanks.

[felzmann (Ulrich Felzmann)]

Thanks for your response. I tried both the non-parallel and the parallel build after a complete clean. Same result, linking stage gets stuck. I've attached the full build log.

Replying to ulrich.felzmann@…:

That's interesting since it doesn't happen on my machine(s) or on the build machines. I'll take a look at the log and see if I notice anything interesting...

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

You wouldn't happen to have configured Macports to use distcc, would you?

[felzmann (Ulrich Felzmann)]

No, I don't use distcc.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

OK, I didn't see anything obvious.

can you paste in the -dv output? sudo port clean apr-util && sudo port -dv install apr-util

[felzmann (Ulrich Felzmann)]

Attached.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

That's not the verbose debug output ( -dv ), there would be a bunch of lines that start with 'DEBUG:'

Also, is there anything unusual about your $prefix ? (/opt/macports) ? Is it a symlink to somewhere? is it a local disk? is it a network share?

[felzmann (Ulrich Felzmann)]

Apologies, just replaced main.debug.log.

There is nothing unusual about my $prefix (local disk, no symlink plenty of free disk space, ...)

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

I'm stumped, did you perhaps modify /bin/sh on your machine (maybe because of shellshock?)

[felzmann (Ulrich Felzmann)]

No, I didn't.

I don't know why it's not building for you, then. I would suggest (as a workaround) that you just use the archive from the buildbot. If you discover any additional details that may be helpful to others, please post.
