g++-mp-4.2 executables bad on leopard?
by Chris Waterson 08 Mar '08

08 Mar '08

I was poking around at the octave build on Leopard (bug 13686), and I'm suspicious that g++-mp-4.2 is generating bad executables. The first snipped below is a simple program that fails in the same way that "munge-texi" fails in the octave build. It's simply populating a std::map from a file with key=value pairs. Save this as "bug.cc", them compile with: /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.2 -g -o bug bug.cc and then give it a whirl... madchenwagen:/tmp$ ./bug foo=bar baz=bop bim=bam Segmentation fault madchenwagen:/tmp$ Has anyone else seen problems like this? My weak attempts at googling turned up nothing that seemed relevant to me. Just wanted to check before filing a new bug... thanks! chris ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------- #include <iostream> #include <map> #include <string> static std::map<std::string, std::string> my_map; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { while (!std::cin.eof()) { char buf[256]; std::cin.getline(buf, sizeof buf); for (char *c = buf; *c; ++c) { if (*c == '=') { *c = '\0'; my_map[buf] = c + 1; break; } } } return 0; }

General question about MacPorts
by Wilden Mark 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

I'm new to Mac OS and to MacPorts and I could use some guidance. A couple of days ago, I posted about the inability to build mod_python. There appears to be a problem building apr-1.2.12, which mod_python and others (like Subversion) depend on. A ticket was added for this (#14470). My questions are these: 1) Would this be considered a non-priority problem? Is it common for MacPorts to be unable to build vitally important tools like mod_python and subversion? Trust me, I'm not being snarky - I'd just like to know. 2) If that's in fact the case, what are the alternatives, if someone (like me) has been using MacPorts for other things? It appears (to this newbie) that you can't tell MacPorts, "hey, you don't need to build this - I built it myself," so it doesn't consider that it has a missing dependency. 3) Is MacPorts really just a convenience, and not something that one should depend on? Mr. Mod_Python (Graham Dumpleton) recommends not using it, for example. Again, I don't know whether that's true or not - I'm just interested in an objective answer. This is NOT a flame. I respect and admire the MacPorts project, and I'm aware that the folks who are working on it are doing so for the good of the community, for no personal gain. The thing is, I'm a database guy - I just need some very basic functionality. If someone could give their opinion on the questions above, I'd very much appreciate it! ///ark

odd port list installed output
by skip＠pobox.com 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

In my previous email I wrote: If I decide to reinstall, is there some way I can record what ports I currently have installed then, after the basic install, reinstall those ports with one command? So port list installed seems to spit out something almost like what I need, but I noticed that I seem to have two copies of several ports installed. It looks like fftw-3, oss-uuid, python24 and python25 are all installed twice: % port list installed bison @2.3 devel/bison bzip2 @1.0.4 archivers/bzip2 db44 @4.4.20 databases/db44 expat @2.0.1 textproc/expat fftw-3 @3.1.2 math/fftw-3 fftw-3 @3.1.2 math/fftw-3 freetype @2.3.5 print/freetype g95 @0.90 lang/g95 gdbm @1.8.3 databases/gdbm gettext @0.17 devel/gettext jasper @1.701.0 graphics/jasper jpeg @6b graphics/jpeg libiconv @1.12 textproc/libiconv libpng @1.2.25 graphics/libpng libxml2 @2.6.31 textproc/libxml2 libxslt @1.1.22 textproc/libxslt m4 @1.4.10 devel/m4 mercurial @0.9.5 devel/mercurial ncurses @5.6 devel/ncurses ncursesw @5.6 devel/ncursesw netpbm @10.26.50 graphics/netpbm openssl @0.9.8g devel/openssl ossp-uuid @1.6.0 devel/ossp-uuid ossp-uuid @1.6.0 devel/ossp-uuid postgresql83 @8.3.0 databases/postgresql83 py25-dateutil @1.4 python/py25-dateutil py25-tz @2007k python/py25-tz python24 @2.4.4 lang/python24 python24 @2.4.4 lang/python24 python25 @2.5.2 lang/python25 python25 @2.5.2 lang/python25 readline @5.2.007 devel/readline tiff @3.8.2 graphics/tiff unzip @5.52 archivers/unzip wget @1.11 net/wget zlib @1.2.3 archivers/zlib What's up with that? I suppose I should be able to do something like this: port list installed | awk '{print $1}' > currentports sudo rm -rf /opt/local sudo port install $(cat currentports) but isn't there some other directory I need to remove? Some sort of MacPorts frameworks directory? -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/

macports, gprof and leopard?
by Brian Barnes 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hello, Last week, I changed from Tiger (10.4.11, Xcode 2.4.1, MP 1.6.0) to a fresh install of Leopard (10.5.2 and Xcode 3.0). I'm now finding that /usr/bin/gprof does not profile a program compiled with gfortran- mp-4.2 and its -pg flag. I'm pretty sure this worked in the past (am I wrong?). I thought perhaps it had to do with the system's gprof not being compatible with macports-supplied compilers, so I installed the binutils port (as gprof is provided by binutils on my Fedora box), but no auxiliary gprof was installed in /opt/local/bin. Does anyone have gprof working with port gcc42's gfortran in Leopard? How can I make this work? In the meantime, I started using Xcode's Shark, which is an incredible tool (honestly: much better than gprof. I will probably continue using it). But I am still kind of curious as to what's going on with gprof. sincerely, Brian
