#31821: [minor issue] sed issue while building arm-none-eabi-binutils --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: ekawahyu@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: arm-none-eabi-binutils --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- This is a known issue of incompatibility between BSD sed (Mac) and GNU sed (macports). I don't know where to file this issue, therefore, I put it here as note/enhancement request. In the past, I renamed /usr/bin/sed to /usr/bin/darwinsed and created a symbolic link of /usr/bin/sed -> /opt/local/bin/gsed. It turned out that building arm-none-eabi-binutils failed because of this, and it is fine when I put the symbolic link back to BSD sed. I did not keep the log file, but I copy the error message below: {{{ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for arm-none-eabi-binutils ---> Checksumming binutils-2.21.53.0.1.tar.bz2 ---> Extracting arm-none-eabi-binutils ---> Extracting binutils-2.21.53.0.1.tar.bz2 Error: reinplace: /usr/bin/sed: -e expression #1, char 42: Invalid character class name Error: Target org.macports.patch returned: reinplace sed(1) failed Warning: the following items did not execute (for arm-none-eabi-binutils): org.macports.activate org.macports.patch org.macports.configure org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.macports.install Error: Failed to install arm-none-eabi-binutils Log for arm-none-eabi-binutils is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports .org_release_tarballs_ports_cross_arm-none-eabi-binutils/arm-none-eabi- binutils/main.log Error: The following dependencies were not installed: arm-none-eabi- binutils libmpc mpfr Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets> }}} This is only a minor issue and I hope this could help someone else who replaces the BSD sed with GNU sed, like I did. The arm-none-eabi-binutils builds just fine using BSD sed. Thank you. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31821> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
#31821: [minor issue] sed issue while building arm-none-eabi-binutils -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ekawahyu@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: arm-none-eabi-binutils | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: You shouldn't replace OS X's BSD sed with a GNU sed. Many programs' configuration scripts are hardcoded with the knowledge that on Darwin, sed is BSD sed; you'll break those by doing this. If you want GNU sed in your PATH for your own convenience, install the gsed port and add /opt/local/libexec/gnubin to your PATH. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31821#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
#31821: reinplace -E doesn't work when /usr/bin/sed switches from BSD sed to GNU sed or vice versa ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: ekawahyu@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.0.3 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * component: ports => base * port: arm-none-eabi-binutils => Comment: In the specific case you found above, it's not arm-none-eabi-binutils' configuration program; it's MacPorts base itself, which has a "`reinplace`" command which portfiles can use, which is basically a wrapper to sed. The relevant reinplace that's demonstrating the problem is in the crossbinutils portgroup that the arm-none-eabi-binutils port (and the other cross-compiled binutils ports) use: browser:trunk/dports/_resources/port1.0/group/crossbinutils-1.0.tcl?rev=69962#L89 The `-E` switch that this `reinplace` is using means "use extended (i.e. modern) regular expressions". With BSD sed, the way to do that is to pass it the argument `-E`. With GNU sed, the argument is `-r`. MacPorts base's configure script will detect whether your sed is BSD sed or GNU sed and pass the correct argument: browser:trunk/base/aclocal.m4?rev=80222#L912 So the only reason this failed for you is that you configured and installed MacPorts base back when you had BSD sed, and then later you replaced sed with GNU sed -- or you installed MacPorts base from one of our pre-compiled disk images, which are built on such a system. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31821#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
