Description

Greetings. Running a fresh installation of macOS Sierra 10.12 (16A270f), as an authorized developer. I am running into an issue with attempting to build wget from source via macports. Macports has been cleaned, removed, and reinstalled with the same outcome. Xcode-beta 4 (8S188o) is installed with developer command-line tools.

Here is the error from the shell:

Updating 'mktables.lst'
make: Leaving directory `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_perl5/perl5.22/work/perl-5.22.2'

Attached is the log file with more output of the error. Any other port that has perl5.22 as a dependency will fail to install as well.

Yes, it appears that it also fails. Error output from the shell appears to be nearly identical:

From your log file, this appears to be the relevant error:

Looks like upstream hasn't made allowance for the possibility of a 10.12 target.

Hi,

I got Perl5.22 to build on macOS Sierra using the patch "0001-OS-X-versioning-dance.patch" by Jarkko Hietaniemi instead of the fix-ld-modification.patch referenced in the Portfile.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

I would prefer to get some opinion from Jeremy or to see this fixed upstream, but if none of that happens, I'll apply that patch just for Sierra.

libgcc_s.10.4.dylib was accidentally missing from the CommandLineTools package in Xcode 8.

As a workaround, you can create a symlink to libgcc_s.10.5.dylib (sudo ln -s libgcc_s.10.5.dylib /usr/lib/libgcc_s.10.4.dylib). This will require SIP to be disabled.

Although ... why is the deployment target set so low in the first place. It would be good to use this ticket to set an appropriate deployment target.

Upstream does this, and has been doing it for long enough that I think they're afraid of changing it and breaking something. We should encourage them to build in a more sane manner.

comment:13 Changed 8 years ago by jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)

The upstream patch (https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=126360#txn-1370987) looks good to me. I'd suggest bringing it back to all supported perl versions and revbumping.

The change will cause us to make use of more modern implementations (UNIX 2008 compliant, 64bit inodes, etc) of some system functions rather than falling back on the older versions that existed in the ancient past.

comment:14 Changed 8 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

Thank you.

The patch has already been applied upstream. I didn't closely investigate, but the patch is part of release candidate for the next perl 5.24, not for the 5.22 though. And they are still using DEVELOPMENT_TARGET at some places ...

I assume that RC will be out pretty soon, so maybe wait for the release of 5.24.1 and add the patch to other versions at the same time.

Port: perl5.16 perl5.18 perl5.20 added; perl5.24 removed

I'll certainly backport the patch to at least version 5.22. It's unclear to me whether I should also fix older versions or whether I should remove them (#50512). It's the same problem as with python 2.4/2.5 etc.

comment:22 Changed 8 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

I attached a patch that increases the revision of all perl versions (other than 5.24) and:

  • removes the 10.3 target
    • this should fix the build problem on Sierra
    • I don't know whether we still need to add {-Dld="env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=$MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET $CC"}
  • changes location of perl5.16
  • uses -Dcppflags="$CPPFLAGS" instead of -Acppflags="$CPPFLAGS"
  • removes fix-ld-modification.patch (but includes its contents in the new patch)
  • cleans up the patches a bit (I had problems with constantly changing line numbers; I changed the patches so that they don't change the number of lines unless necessary)

I would like an "OK" from at least one Sierra user and David (other testers welcome as well) before committing this.

And yes, I keep #50512 in mind as well.

comment:23 Changed 8 years ago by david@…

Hi,

I built all variants and did some very rudimentary tests, this looks great!

I guess one of the patches missed r151571, I got this error: Skipped missing target: 'files/5.16/install-under-short-version-PR43480.patch'

Just to test 5.16, I used the patch from 5.18, which was applied OK by port

Cheers

Please please don’t commit this all at once. Looking through enormous diffs (and yes, someone will have to look at this changeset in the future) is painful.

  • I don't know whether we still need to add {-Dld="env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=$MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET $CC"}

They left that in darwin.sh for 10.3–10.5, so we should continue adding it for those OSes.

comment:25 Changed 8 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

Do you have any other suggestion? The only option I see would be to:

  • add that new patch to all versions
  • then clean up all the patches (and don't delete the obsolete patch yet)
  • then commit just the changes in the Portfile and delete the obsolete patches

I have no clue how else to fix this

Yes, it should be and it is on my machine. I used svn cp wherever I could. If the file didn't end up in the patch, that's weird.

Hm. Then again, if that weird ld thing only happens on old OSes, maybe it’s fine to just let them do what they want.

These changes are causing problems with older Perls. I’m working on it.

comment:31 Changed 8 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

Clemens suggested another change (off-topic for this particular ticket, but since we are discussing changing flags already), adding:

-Dinstallstyle="lib/perl5"

to configure flags. Otherwise we might get /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.24 when installing under /opt/local and /opt/perl/lib/5.24 when installing under /opt/perl.

You may also use xcode-select to point the build tools at either the command line tools, or the latest Xcode 8 beta. Of course, those aren't really stable solutions, since they are, after all, beta software. Beta software for the beta operating system, perhaps?

You're right, I was tackling a problem with perl, fixed that then ran into a problem with cmake. I'll post that solution separately.

This could be a bug in subversion client (or something that's impossible to do via a patch) that I'm not eager to investigate. What I did was "svn cp" from one file to the other and then added one line. But of course you don't have that file available. I would suggest you to simply delete the following lines from the patch before applying it:

Perl then installs fine. But compilation fails at glib2 as described in Ticket 52040 prior to installing wget.

Confirming that I can install perl 5.22 on Sierra using the given patch, once the lines mentioned in comment:40 are deleted from the patch.

I made a horrible commit in r151998 that hopefully fixes the build for Sierra and hopefully doesn't break builds on older machines.

The initially proposed changes that affect all perl subports don't work properly for older perls. Older perls most likely don't compile on Sierra either. I will do a cleanup of the main port (or #50512), but only once the changes get some proper diagnosis, testing and fixes. For now I just wanted to make sure that Sierra users could install the ports that still depend on 5.22 (#52081).

I will keep the ticket open until perl5.16 - perl5.20 gets proper treatment.

Slightly off-topic, but related to the pending patches posted here. Marcus requested the following three patches:

  • Portfile

    old new  
    114114        post-patch {
    115115            reinplace -W ${worksrcpath} "s|__PREFIX__|${prefix}|g" \
    116116                    Configure Makefile.SH
     117
     118            if { ${os.major} <= 9 } {
     119                reinplace -W ${worksrcpath} "s|MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3|MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=${macosx_deployment_target}|g" \
     120                    hints/darwin.sh
     121            }
    117122        }
    118123
     124        # make sure get_canonical_archflags works properly
     125        variant universal {}
     126
    119127        configure.ccache    no
    120128        configure.distcc    no
    121129        configure.env       LC_ALL=C
     
    152160                            {-Acppflags="$CPPFLAGS"} \
    153161                            {-Accflags="$CFLAGS"} \
    154162                            {-Aldflags="$LDFLAGS"} \
     163                            "-Alddlflags=\"[get_canonical_archflags ld]\"" \
    155164                            {-Dinstallstyle="lib/perl5"}
    156165        } else {
    157166            configure.post_args-append \

Reasons as described by Marcus:

  • When building .bundle files, build_arch is not respected, and they are not universal
  • On older systems, macosx_deployment_target is not respected (10.3 is always used).

My response:

  • I would be grateful for explanation how to test the first point.
  • If we are patching MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, shouldn't we at least do that consistently for all OS version?
  • I don't understand why variant universal {} is needed. Is this a bug in MacPorts base or where exactly lies the difference?
  • Do any of those patches address #52290?

I'm closing this ticket. Marcus, please open a new ticket with your additional requests together with answers to my questions. I wanted to apply all changes together, but since there was no feedback from you for a long time, I went forward and committed the long-pending patches.
