#22766: octave-database-1.0.4 fails to compile because gcc43 doesn't understand command line option "-arch" ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: earcar@… | Owner: and.damore@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: octave-database ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Changes (by and.damore@…): * status: new => assigned Comment: The build script from octave-forge packages uses mkoctfile that is in turn a script created from octave so the dual compiler behavior is not that weird. Two mkoctfile jobs are launched and both break with errors complaining for -arch being not recognized, I'm assuming your macports joblevel is 2. I just checked man page for g++-mp-4.3 and it has got a '''-arch''' options, still not g++-mp-4.3 nor g++-mp-4.2 are not able to understand it, maybe this is an issue of macports' gcc ports, try filing a ticket for those. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22766#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
