#41166: gdb @7.6 Staging into destroot failed ---------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: nimrodomer@… | Owner: stuartwesterman@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gdb | ---------------------------+------------------------------- Comment (by mtb19@…): Here's a possible work-around (for systems with `dseditgroup`): {{{ % # add current user to procmod % sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a "$( whoami )" -t user procmod % port install gdb ... % # remove user from procmod % sudo dseditgroup -o edit -d "$( whoami )" -t user procmod }}} Adapted from [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202112 this source]. You'll still get this warning after installation: {{{ You will need to make sure /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.taskgated.plist has the '-p' option, e.g. <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/usr/libexec/taskgated</string> <string>-sp</string> </array> Due to kernel caching, you usually need to restart Mac OS X for this option to effect. }}} But at least it installs. (If you're curious about the motivation of the warning, see [http://gaetanmasson.com/use-gdb-from-macports-on- os-x-10-9-mavericks/ this explanation].) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41166#comment:8> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
