#29485: gcc44 failed to complete when doing "sudo port upgrade outdated" ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dgh@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ OSX 10.6.5. Performed selfupdate and the upgrade outdated commands. The gcc44 portfile has Revision 78606. After letting it run overnight, I did a quick defect search and found defect #24541. This closed ticket said the gcc configuration process was confused by a symlink in /usr/include. I looked in my /usr/include directory and found many symlinks associated with tcl/tk (attached is list of symlink files). After moving these files to a subdirectory, gcc44 promptly completed with no errors. I didnt save the log file from the build that took forever, but Im sure I could recreate it. I dont think this is a defect in the gcc44 portfile, but I do think this could be a defect in the gcc configuration process, following up on irrelevant symlinks. The symlinks were made months ago. I dont remember what install I was performing that created the symlinks. At the time I was interest in various python modules so I could have installed something from the macpython site that made these links. This anomaly deserves higher visibility. Maybe the resolution is warning messages from the portfile, maybe its a bugreport to the gcc owners, maybe its just a hint in the documentation that this symlinks will confuse some ports. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29485> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
