#43809: port selfupgrade to base v2.3.0 fails on G4 -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: paulccobb@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------+-------------------------------- {{{ Today I've been trying to run 'port selfupgrade' on my PowerBook G4. It has Mac OS 10.5.8, and XCode version 3.1.4 After the command failed on several attempts, I reran with -v to get some information; at the outset, I see: MacPorts base version 2.2.1 installed, MacPorts base version 2.3.0 downloaded. All appears to proceed ok until: ===> staging to destroot in vendor/tcllib-1.15 /usr/bin/tclsh8.6-64 `echo ./installer.tcl` \ -pkg-path /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base/vendor /vendor-destroot/opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/. \ -no-examples -no-html -no-nroff \ -no-wait -no-gui -no-apps /bin/sh: /usr/bin/tclsh8.6-64: Bad CPU type in executable make[2]: *** [install-libraries] Error 126 make[1]: *** [destroot-tcllib] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 1 Command failed: cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base && CC=/usr/bin/cc OBJC=/usr/bin/cc ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with- tclpackage=/Library/Tcl --with-install-user=root --with-install- group=admin --with-directory-mode=0755 --enable-readline && make SELFUPDATING=1 && make install SELFUPDATING=1 Exit code: 2 Error: Error installing new MacPorts base: command execution failed The invocation of /usr/bin/tclsh8.6-64 seems incorrect; the 'file' command says: /usr/bin/tclsh8.6-64: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [ppc64: Mach-O ppc64 executable] [x86_64: Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 executable] On my PowerBook G4, clearly neither of those architectures is going to be any help. Looks like a better choice would be: /usr/bin/tclsh8.6: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [ppc: Mach-O ppc executable] [i386: Mach-O i386 executable] I'll continue to pursue this myself, in an effort to understand why the 64-bit tclsh8.6 is being selected on what's clearly a 32-bit host; but I'm sure someone familiar with MacPorts internals could get there much more quickly. I can provide more info if needed. }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43809> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
