mesa @10.4.4_2: indent: Command line: unknown parameter "-nut"

[jane.r.allison@…]

mesa build fails in following circumstances:

1. As part of overall upgrade to outdated ports (see mesa-upgrade.log), i.e.

sudo -E port upgrade outdated

2. When explicitly (re)installing mesa using default settings (see mesa-default.log), i.e.

port -E sudo install mesa

3. When explicitly (re)installing mesa using llvm-gcc-4.2 as recommended on the ProblemHotlist page (see mesa-llvm-gcc-4.2.log), i.e.

sudo -E port install mesa configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

4. When attempting to install texlive, which in turn installs pymol, which requires mesa (see mesa-pymol.log), i.e.

sudo -E port install texlive +full -medium

To make matters more confusing, different errors are encountered each time. Machine specs are: OS 10.7.5, Xcode version 4.6.1 (but am using ports via the command line so not sure if this is relevant).

Regarding (3), I've removed the portion of the ProblemHotlist that suggested trying llvm-gcc-4.2 and apple-gcc-4.2. That section dated from several years ago, when clang first became the default compiler. At that time, many ports failed to build with clang; by now, clang is more mature, and ports have been updated to work with clang, so the suggestion to try another compiler is no longer generally useful.

The two logs attachment:mesa-default.log​ and attachment:mesa-llvm-gcc-4.2.log​ show the error

indent: Command line: unknown parameter "-nut"

which it looks like Jeremy already ran into last month: ​https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89088

The two other logs are not clean build attempts and show undefined symbol errors.

Thanks - I thought that might be the case, but was working my way through the advice on what to do before posting a ticket, so gave it a try just in case.

Sorry, I'm not an expert at these things - is there somewhere I can get a fix for this bug, or is it not yet resolved?

I just got side tracked and forgot all about this.

I'll update mesa to depend on port:indent and use gnuindent.

I tried again after the ticket closed, and it didn't install indent as a dependency, and so failed as before.

I then tried installing indent myself, i.e.

sudo -E port install indent

which worked, but mesa still failed to install with either the default (clang) or gnu (gcc 4.9) compilers - see attached log files (mesa-withindent.log and mesa-withindent-gcc4.9.log, respectively) for details.

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

From the log, you didn't try with the fix:

:info:configure checking for indent... indent

Update first.

Apologies, I thought that installing would automatically include a search for updates. Everything seems to be working now :-) Thank you!
