mpich-default @4.2.2_0+gcc14 fails to build

[oscarrutt]

mpich-default fails to install. This is a dependency of Octave so Octave also fails to install. The installation attempts to install version 4.2.2. The mpich home page states that the latest version is 4.2.3 so it doesn't make sense to file a ticket there since updating MacPorts seems like the first thing to try. My machine = MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.7.1 ports version = 2.10.4 Octave version

see also 71171 ; different error and on x86_64 but it also fails... so far no response from the maintainer

[eborisch (Eric A. Borisch)]

Not sure when I’ll have time to look at this. Open to any patches / pull requests to address.

[eborisch (Eric A. Borisch)]

I’ll try to get the version bumped this afternoon to the latest on the off chance it helps.

Build of mpich-default (during build of Octave) fails for me on Sonoma + M3. This was with V4.2.3(mpich).

[Dave-Allured (Dave Allured)]

It looks like this issue is fixed in mpich version 4.3.0. Works for me:

macOS 14.6.1 Sonoma

> mpicc-mpich-mp --version
Apple clang version 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.6)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin23.6.0

Please confirm and close this ticket.

This problem appears to be back with

mpich-default @4.3.0

Apple clang version 17.0.0 (clang-1700.4.4.1)

Target: arm64-apple-darwin25.1.0

Checking the mpich sources, it is again fixed in 4.3.2

Relevant file that causes the issue:

./src/include/mpi.h.in

where in 4.3.2 the macros MPI_CXX_*_COMPLEX have ben updated
