#18214: muniversal portgroup uses host core2-apple-darwin -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- When building universal on a PowerPC Mac, the muniversal portgroup uses the host core2-apple-darwin to build the Intel parts, but at least on my Power Mac G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Xcode 2.5, it doesn't know any such host. Here is the output I get from cairo @1.8.6_3: {{{ universal: Running configure for architecture ppc universal: Running configure for architecture i386 Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/mp/var/macports/build/_Volumes_data_macports_ports_graphics_cairo/work/i386" && ./configure --prefix=/mp --disable-glitz --disable-xcb --enable-ft --enable-pdf --enable-png --enable-ps --enable-svg --enable-xlib --enable- xlib-xrender --with-x --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-quartz --enable-quartz-font --enable-quartz-image --host=core2-apple-darwin " returned error 1 Command output: configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.

I had never heard of "core2-apple-darwin" before seeing it in the muniversal portgroup code, and [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22core2 -apple-darwin%22 searching Google], there are no hits for "core2-apple- darwin" except as part of the muniversal portgroup. Shouldn't it be "i686 -apple-darwin" for which [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22i686-apple- darwin%22 Google has] thousands of results? If I change core2-apple-darwin to i686-apple-darwin in the muniversal portgroup, then I can build libiconv universal (2-way 32-bit) without needing to set merger_host in the libiconv portfile. Maybe that doesn't properly take 64-bit into account. So the portgroup should set host to i686-apple-darwin or x86_64 -apple-darwin accordingly. All I know is "`locate i686-apple-darwin`" and "`locate x86_64-apple-darwin`" return plenty of results on my Power Mac whereas "`locate core2-apple-darwin`" returns none. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18214> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
