sbcl @2.5.5_0+fancy: fails to build on Ventura x86_64

[lockie (Andrew Kravchuk)]

This build failure happens in Github Action MacOS runner (which has 14Gb of RAM, so free RAM is not an issue). Here's relevant part of the log:

Full log in attachment.

I should also note that the build succeeds using Sonoma on ARM64.

It would appear this happens in buildbot too: ​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-13_x86_64-builder/builds/91257/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

Did you try to use the bootstrap_ecl variant?

[lockie (Andrew Kravchuk)]

Replying to tomio-arisaka:

Did you try to use the bootstrap_ecl variant?

Yep, it fails in the very same way.

[tomio-arisaka (Tomio Arisaka)]

When building SBCL, it depends on both lisp and C compiler.

So, could you try to use gcc14 or clang-18 instead of Xcode clang?

For example:

sudo port install sbcl configure.compiler=macports-gcc-14

or

sudo port install sbcl configure.compiler=macports-clang-18

[lockie (Andrew Kravchuk)]

I was able to build it with clang 18 from Macports, thank you Tomio!

I don't have the hardware to directly verify but this should have been fixed with <​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/db89c77bec8d8e7402381ebcb716c8157d230fa3>, as the GitHub builder is now succeeding.
