Bug #68290 for Event: Build Broken on OS X (no PPC emulator)

Wed May 18 11:07:25 2011 dtanabe [...] lab49.com - Ticket created

Subject:

Build Broken on OS X (no PPC emulator)

I couldn't install Event until I removed "-arch ppc" from the Makefile. I was initially puzzled because I just installed it yesterday successfully on an older Mac (but still running 10.6.7). I also *only* have the XCode 4 set of development tools installed on the newer Mac; not sure if that contributes to the problem. --DKT

Hm, you don't provide much information about the failure. Can you include as much as possible? Also, does the attached patch help?

No luck with the patch; it actually didn't match what was in 1.15, so I patched it manually, but with no luck. My t/io.t:89 if ($Config{osname} eq 'darwin' or $Config{archname} =~ m/^armv5tejl/) { Patch (orig): if ($Config{osname} eq 'darwin' or $Config{osname} eq 'gnu' or And sorry about the lack of detail—here's the output. Somewhere in the middle, you'll see it whining about the PPC assembler not being found. Hope this is more helpful! —DKT This email and any attachments may contain information which is confidential and/or privileged.

Hm, I don't see any errors except for here. The problem may not be due to Event. Is your compiler toolchain able to compile other perl modules?

Towards the middle: c/generic.c:62: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments /usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin10/4.2.1/as: assembler (/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/as or /usr/bin/../local/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/as) for architecture ppc not installed Installed assemblers are: /usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/x86_64/as for architecture x86_64 /usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as for architecture i386 That's what clued me in to the potential problem. It's a fresh build, OS 10.6.7 with the included Perl (5.10.0) and gcc 4.2.1. It's only the CPAN module I needed that wouldn't compile; everything else (including IO::Event, which is what I actually needed) seems fine. And again, removing "-arch ppc" from the three lines where it appears in the Makefile seems to cure all my ills—it compiles and installs without problems after that. My older Mac still had the PPC Rosetta emulator installed. That's probably why it works there and it doesn't work on newer Macs now that they don't install PPC emulator support by default, and I'd be surprised if the XCode 4 toolchain includes any support for it either. On all my other machines, I upgraded XCode 3 to XCode 4; not sure what version of gcc, et al it comes with, but I always also installed support for older SDKs, which generally also meant PPC support. I guess XCode 4 doesn't allow for that any more. —DKT On May 18, 2011, at 1:12 PM, Joshua Pritikin via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Drat, well, I don't really have any idea. If you can narrow it down to a patch to Event, I will happily apply it.

Looks like there are a few things out there that suffer from the same problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5256397/osx-10-6-6-cant-install-appscript http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2011/Mar/msg00215.html I'm trying to figure out how this translates into a patch (I would never be confused as a Perl expert), but hopefully that means more to you than it does to me. —DKT On May 18, 2011, at 1:54 PM, Joshua Pritikin via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Definitely not an Event problem. More to the point: http://mjo.tc/atelier/2011/03/xcode4-perl.html It's definitely more than just this library that's broken, and certainly the "fix" for this would be for Apple to fix their broken distribution of Perl. Not sure why some packages work and some don't, but luck of the draw caused this particular one to break for me.
