#51280: rust does not build on os X El Capitan (10.11.4) --------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: davidriod@… | Owner: g5pw@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: rust | --------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by ghleclerc@…): I did some poking around. Turns out that in the 1.8 release of Rust, which Macports fetches, the compiler version check in the configure script of Rust has this line in it : (7.0* | 7.1* | 7.2*) which will not work with the latest XCode (7.3.1) since clang reports version 7.3... for this XCode version. I have looked at the source in the rust 1.9 release and it is fixed to (7.0* | 7.1* | 7.2* | 7.3*) which does work. I have manually patched my version in Macports and successfully compiled version 1.8. I don't know what is the plan for the Rust port. Probably updating the port to 1.9 will fix the problem and that might be simpler than patching the 1.8 version. I just don't know enough about Macports system to create the patch. It is simple enough (one line (1034) in the configure script), but might still be more complicated than updating the version. Hope this helps. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51280#comment:8> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
