When upgrading the (stealth) upgrade, I recieve these errors:

It looks like clang-9.0 has some preliminary C++20 support, including the addition of a <version> header, and its <cstddef> is trying to include it, but finds the file of the same name in the mariadb source instead.

Is this still an issue with the update of MariaDB 10.2 to 10.2.28 on Nov 5? [32c03448aa4061acc3ad5676fa84a834098b0615/macports-ports]

Yes, still an issue… Same error as @jmroot wrote about.

Attaching new log.

[iEFdev]

I saw you pushed a change, so I ran it again:

First attempt, the chksum for server didn't match (hm… it worked yeterday. Did they change anything):

:info:checksum The correct checksum line may be:
:info:checksum checksums           server-10.2.28.tar.gz \
:info:checksum                     rmd160  21e4229d997582c1f79bd0933695ec1b067d5954 \

:info:checksum                     size    64523687 \

I tried with those, but it didn't work (ie same err).

Stealth update ... fixed now in [4c9cf8ada448a44cf3964f67278f77c27b72a7c9/macports-ports]

They seem to do this regularly. Quite the PITA to keep up with!

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Looks like you're on OSX 10.7 ... can you try using the LegacySupport PG & see if that helps? Sometimes it does ... sometimes it doesn't ...

[iEFdev]

Doesn't the Portfile already have that one set?

PortGroup           legacysupport 1.0
legacysupport.newest_darwin_requires_legacy 10

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Yes, yes it does ... apologies there! suggested without looking first (LOL?) ... ah well; had thought it worth a try!

Can you try commenting out the LegacySupport & see if that does anything (sheepish grin)?

[iEFdev]

I tried that, but it didn't change anything.

The thing jmroot wrote about c++20… Force an older compiler?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has anybody filed an upstream bug report about the build failure?

Has anybody filed an upstream bug report asking them to stop doing stealth updates?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I haven't; guessing the answer will be "no" or "not yet" to both.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

The <version> issue is pretty critical, IMHO! I also do wish they would stop doing stealth updates; it's just bad release practice if release checksums aren't static const. IMHO.

[iEFdev]

It's not just bad practice… It's really bad practice. :)

All it does is indicating the package was tampered with.

It's another joy of building everything with clang-9.0 on older systems, living out here on the fringes of the solar system with a shiny new compiler that pretty much nobody is using much yet :>

It builds with clang-5.0 easily enough. I tried setting the c++ standard to c++11 with

configure.cxxflags-append -std=c++11

but it didn't get plumbed everywhere, and failed.

So I tried appending it onto the compiler spec

configure.cxx-append -std=c++11

but that failed in configure.

So I did this, and moved on:

sudo port -v install mariadb configure.compiler=macports-clang-5.0

$ port -v installed mariadb
The following ports are currently installed:
  mariadb @5.5.65_0 platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2019-08-17T13:19:42-0700'
  mariadb @5.5.66_0 (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64' date='2019-11-12T07:37:36-0800'

[devernay (Frédéric Devernay)]

Here's how I manually fixed it, for those intersested to make a proper patch. the issue is the the madiadb source tree includes a file called "VERSION" and ctsddef from llvm-9 includes <version>, which includes that file instead, because of the case insensitive filesystem. fixed by:

• renaming mariadb-5.5.66/VERSION to mariadb-5.5.66/VERSION.TXT

• replacing "/VERSION" with "/VERSION.TXT" (two places) in mariadb-5.5.66/cmake/mysql_version.cmake

Those files should be in /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_databases_mariadb/mariadb/work/ after a first unsuccessful build

Good catch!
