#50894: Perl packages needing compilation do not install ---------------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: matthew-macports@… | Owner: mojca@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: perl5.22 | ---------------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by mojca@…): Weird. I don't have `-fstack-protector-strong` in `/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.22/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Config_heavy.pl`. I see it in `Configure` though and clang defines "GCC" variable that resolve to true in the code below: {{{ # on x86_64 (at least) we require an extra library (libssp) in the # link command line. This library is not named, so I infer that it is # an implementation detail that may change. Hence the safest approach # is to add the flag to the flags passed to the compiler at link time, # as that way the compiler can do the right implementation dependant # thing. (NWC) case "$gccversion" in ?*) set stack-protector-strong -fstack-protector-strong eval $checkccflag case "$dflt" in *-fstack-protector-strong*) ;; # It got added. *) # Try the plain/older -fstack-protector. set stack-protector -fstack-protector eval $checkccflag ;; esac ;; esac ;; }}} {{{ # See note above about -fstack-protector case "$ccflags" in *-fstack-protector-strong*) case "$dflt" in *-fstack-protector-strong*) ;; # Don't add it again *) dflt="$dflt -fstack-protector-strong" ;; esac ;; *-fstack-protector*) case "$dflt" in *-fstack-protector*) ;; # Don't add it again *) dflt="$dflt -fstack-protector" ;; esac ;; esac }}} {{{ case "$ldflags" in *-fstack-protector-strong*) case "$dflt" in *-fstack-protector-strong*) ;; # Don't add it again *) dflt="$dflt -fstack-protector-strong" ;; esac ;; *-fstack-protector*) case "$dflt" in *-fstack-protector*) ;; # Don't add it again *) dflt="$dflt -fstack-protector" ;; esac ;; esac }}} It would probably be helpful to talk to upstream developers once we investigate what exactly is going on (to make it easier for them to reproduce the problem). First of all I would like to understand why I didn't get the same flags defined as you did (with a slightly older OS). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50894#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
