#19110: gdb: Malformed receipt -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: dweber@… | Owner: dweber@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: gdb ports-filesystems | Port: gdb binutils -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by dweber@…): A few of the configure options are now tweaked in the Portfile and the current install process looks like this: {{{ ---> Fetching gdb ---> Attempting to fetch gdb-6.8.tar.bz2 from http://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/gdb ---> Verifying checksum(s) for gdb ---> Extracting gdb ---> Configuring gdb ---> Building gdb ---> Staging gdb into destroot ---> Installing gdb @6.8_0 ---> Activating gdb @6.8_0 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/lib/libiberty.a is being used by the active binutils port. Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate gdb' to force the activation. Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. }}} Please advise how to handle the library conflict, there appears to be no simple way to disable the installation within the gdb build and install process. Maybe there would be a way to script out this library install from the make install target, but the bigger issue is whether the binutils library is compabible with the gdb library, if not then gdb might have runtime issues (and vice versa for binutils). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19110#comment:13> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
