Description

sudo port install ghc 

:info:build /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_ports_lang_ghc/ghc/work/bootstrap/lib/ghc-9.2.1/lib/../lib/aarch64-osx-ghc-9.2.1/rts-1.0.2/include/ffitarget.h:6:10: error:

:info:build          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:info:build 1 error generated.
:info:build `clang' failed in phase `C Compiler'. (Exit code: 1)

The file ffitarget_arm64.h exists in both Xcode and CLT: 

$ locate ffitarget_arm64.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/ffi/ffitarget_arm64.h
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.1.sdk/usr/include/ffi/ffitarget_arm64.h
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.3.sdk/usr/include/ffi/ffitarget_arm64.h
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/usr/include/ffi/ffitarget_arm64.h

Does anyone know how to tell MacPorts to find this file on arm? (Log attached.)

Add -I${configure.sdkroot}/usr/include/ffi to CPPFLAGS?

comment:2 Changed 2 years ago by essandess (Steve Smith)

Thanks, I tried both of these without success: 

configure.cppflags-append \
                    -I${configure.sdkroot}/usr/include/ffi

build.env-append    "C_INCLUDE_PATH=${configure.sdkroot}/usr/include/ffi"

It looks like ghc includes its own copy of libffi, which doesn't include the right files to work on arm64. Either that needs to be fixed, or an external libffi needs to be used. Mixing and matching files from different versions won't end well.
