#33985: eboard @1.1.1 configure error due to bad ${CXX} env var ref ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: jlmuir@… | Owner: pmq@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: | Port: eboard ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by jlmuir@…): Replying to [comment:1 macsforever2000@…]:
In the future, please use WikiFormatting.
I did; I used the blockquote formatting. Using the preformatted text formatting produced a really long line that was difficult to read in the bug report.
That seems like an odd fix. Is perl no longer required? Then it should be removed as a dependency.
True, if perl is not needed for the build, then the build dependency should be removed. I don't know why it is needed. Most Portfiles depend on a system /bin/sh or /usr/bin/perl; they don't create a build dependency on perl just to run the configure script. But I'm not going to track this down; I guess it can be left as is and assume the maintainer did it for a reason.
Also maybe the variable should simply be corrected?
{{{ --compiler=${configure.cxx} }}}
That seems reasonable. I didn't know about that variable. The documentation lists the default as "???". I don't know what that means. I guess it means the value is not fixed but will be set to something. Unfortunately, doing that now produces another problem, perhaps the real problem. The configure phase fails. Looking at the config.log file, I see lines like this: {{{ -- begin test.cc -- #include <string> int main() { return 0; } -- end test.cc -- cmd = /usr/bin/clang++ -O6 -c test.cc -o xxtest.o output: error: invalid value '6' in '-O6' return value = 1 }}} So, it seems the configure script is trying to compile with an optimization level of `-O6` and clang doesn't like it. I've decided not to use eboard after evaluating it for what I wanted to do, so I won't track this down any further. But I would think it would fail to build for anyone using clang as the compiler, so it should be easy to reproduce if anyone wants to fix it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33985#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
