#50226: julia @0.4.2_1 fails building on 10.6.8 -------------------------+-------------------- Reporter: braumann@… | Owner: sean@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: julia | -------------------------+-------------------- Comment (by braumann@…): Well, may I ask if what compiler you are expecting to be used for building `julia`? `gcc5`? For me I had to specify this using the `configure.compiler` switch in the command line. Then I got beyond the point where it stopped above. Since in `debuginfo.cpp` the function `strndup` is being used (was not provided in 10.6.8) I put an own definition of `strndup` (as is being done in many ports via patches) into `debuginfo.cpp`. The problem I could not solve happened later, during linking `libjulia- debug.dylib`. Lots of LLVM related symbols could not be resolved. This is strange, as `USE_SYSTEM_LLVM=1` and `LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-mp-3.7` should guide the linking process to the correct libraries. However, I suspect, nevertheless it still tries to use Xcode-related libraries (which should be no problem with a modern Xcode), but this is not fully clear, as no paths are being printed in the log file. Thanks for comments. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50226#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
