#31821: [minor issue] sed issue while building arm-none-eabi-binutils --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: ekawahyu@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: arm-none-eabi-binutils --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- This is a known issue of incompatibility between BSD sed (Mac) and GNU sed (macports). I don't know where to file this issue, therefore, I put it here as note/enhancement request. In the past, I renamed /usr/bin/sed to /usr/bin/darwinsed and created a symbolic link of /usr/bin/sed -> /opt/local/bin/gsed. It turned out that building arm-none-eabi-binutils failed because of this, and it is fine when I put the symbolic link back to BSD sed. I did not keep the log file, but I copy the error message below: {{{ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for arm-none-eabi-binutils ---> Checksumming binutils-2.21.53.0.1.tar.bz2 ---> Extracting arm-none-eabi-binutils ---> Extracting binutils-2.21.53.0.1.tar.bz2 Error: reinplace: /usr/bin/sed: -e expression #1, char 42: Invalid character class name Error: Target org.macports.patch returned: reinplace sed(1) failed Warning: the following items did not execute (for arm-none-eabi-binutils): org.macports.activate org.macports.patch org.macports.configure org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.macports.install Error: Failed to install arm-none-eabi-binutils Log for arm-none-eabi-binutils is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_cross_arm-none-eabi-binutils/arm-none-eabi- binutils/main.log Error: The following dependencies were not installed: arm-none-eabi- binutils libmpc mpfr Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> }}} This is only a minor issue and I hope this could help someone else who replaces the BSD sed with GNU sed, like I did. The arm-none-eabi-binutils builds just fine using BSD sed. Thank you. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31821> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
