#33687: avarice @2.11 - install causes error: C++ compiler cannot create executables --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: 4eppelin@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: | Port: avarice --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by 4eppelin@…): Thank you! I solved the problem. Avarice require libbfd.a from binutils for installation. Installing binutils solves the problem. But there are some moments. Details: {{{ $ cd `port work avarice` $ sudo ./configure }}} Output: {{{ ... configure: error: You need to install libbfd.a from binutils. }}} {{{ $sudo port install binutils }}} Output: {{{ ... <installation done> Having binutils installed will cause some other ports to fail to build. Consider uninstalling binutils. }}} {{{ $ sudo port install avarice <installation done> }}} I decide to remove binutils package but leave libbfd.a: {{{ $ cp opt/local/lib/libbfd.a ~/temp $ sudo port uninstall binutils $ sudo mv ~/temp/libbfd.a /opt/local/lib/ }}} Thanks for attention! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33687#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
