#44340: texlive-bin @2014 Configure error "-arch ppc" needs "--disable-luajittex" ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: stressfields@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Keywords: --disable-luajittex | Port: texlive-bin ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- On Mac Mini PowerPC OSX 10.5.8 and xcode314_2809, sudo port install texlive-bin fails with the message :info:build configure: error: Sorry, can not preprocess <lj_arch.h> :info:build === configuring in luajit failed :info:build make[2]: *** [recurse] Error 1 (full main.log attached) My diagnosis: luajit is not available for PowerPC+OSX10.5.8 (xcode3.1.4) and luajittex should be disabled according to: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=751150 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.texlive.build/2371 1. Here is a fix: Edit the texlive-bin Portfile 122023 2014-07-13 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/tex /texlive-bin/Portfile Change line 172 from: --enable-build-in-source-tree to these two lines as 172 and 173: --enable-build-in-source-tree \ --disable-luajittex Save and rerun sudo port install texlive-bin This now runs to completion. 2. Request: is there a way to pass the flag --disable-luajittex in from the "port build" command line? I tried a few variants but no luck. An exact example with the correct ' " and \ would be appreciated. 3. Can the Portfile be changed so that if -arch ppc is present then --disable-luajittex is also present? That would probably help others. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44340> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
