glib2 configure hangs

[bruce@…]

glib2 hangs indefinitely in the configure stage.

bash-3.2# time port upgrade outdated

I fired up this upgrade command again and tried this:

In the future, please CC the port maintainer for faster service. In this case

$ port info --maintainer glib2
maintainer: ryandesign@macports.org, openmaintainer@macports.org

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

How long did you wait?

The transcript you showed above is not from a clean attempt. Please ​clean and try again.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to ryandesign@…:

How long did you wait?

Oh, sorry, I see you waited over 2 hours. Yes, that's excessive. Something must be going wrong. Try with the debug flag; see if anything interesting is printed when it hangs.

sudo port clean glib2
sudo port -d upgrade glib2

Okay I cleaned and debugged as you suggested, the last chunk of output (before it hangs again) looks like so:

I notice the terminal window name is 'xcodebuild' and there are a pair of xcodebuild processes running, as in the process list I sent before. Whatever is happening, it isn't using any significant amount of CPU time. I'm idling along at about 2.5%.

I'll try a reboot in a few hours and see if that makes any difference, this must be something just messed up on my computer.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Just to check the obvious...

• are you running the latest Xcode, 6.3.1?
• are you running the corresponding version of the Xcode command line tools?
• have you opened Xcode.app at least once since upgrading it?
• have you agreed to the Xcode license agreement?

[bruce@…]

Xcode 6.3.1, current command line tools, I can run Xcode.app fine, and Xcode.app and xcode-select don't prompt me with a license agreement.

Still haven't rebooted, will report back after trying that.

[bruce@…]

Rebooted this morning.

port selfupdate
port upgrade outdated

Everything built fine. No idea what the problem was, but it certainly looks like something wonky with my computer and/or environment.

Thanks for the help!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok, glad that worked.

[newsoft@…]

I got the same problem today while updating packages. My system: OS 10.10.3, XCode 6.3.2, SDK 10.9 and 10.10 installed.

$ which cc
/usr/bin/cc
$ which gcc
/opt/local/bin/gcc

"cc" is a symlink to "/usr/bin/gcc", which is actually Apple LLVM:

$ /usr/bin/gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.53) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0
Thread model: posix

I replaced the original "cc" symlink by a symlink to "/opt/local/bin/gcc" and it worked.
