py-numba: use llvmlite instead of llvmpy?

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

Currently py-numba needs on LLVM 3.3 and that fails to install on Mac OS X 10.10, so many Macports users can't get numba

There are open issues asking py-llvm to add LLVM 3.4 and 3.5 support:

• ​https://github.com/llvmpy/llvmpy/issues/96
• ​https://github.com/llvmpy/llvmpy/pull/97
• ​https://github.com/llvmpy/llvmpy/issues/106

But it's not clear when this is going to happen and I just saw that numba now recommends to use llvmlite instead:

• ​https://github.com/numba/numba#dependencies

So hence this feature request ... please

• Add an llvmlite port (see ​https://github.com/numba/llvmlite)
• Use this for numba so that it becomes available on Mac OS X 10.10

llvm-3.3 installed fine for me on Yosemite on October 3; I haven't tried since then. llvm-3.4, llvm-3.5 and llvm-3.6 also install fine on Yosemite.

It seems that numba is switching from llvmpy to llvmlite though, so I've asked them to make a first stable release of llvmpy soon: ​https://github.com/numba/llvmlite/issues/19

This should make it possible to make the switch in Macports in the future if we want to.

I re-tried and now the llvm-3.3 install does work for me but I get this error trying to install py34-llvmpy ​https://gist.github.com/cdeil/0da6570d4d545b4d4c9e

Can anyone reproduce? Should I file a separate issue for that?

Yes.

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

OK ... I've filed a new issue for the py-llvmpy checksum mismatch here: #46194

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

I think this is done, no? I have py34-numba @0.17.0_0 now and port rdeps py34-numba shows that it depends on llvmlite.

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

This is done. Close issue?
