The following is from attempting to build devel/powerpc-gcc via poudriere-devel on the powerpc64 system after having bootstrapped via (in part) base/binutils and the .txz produced on the host (amd64).
Looks like having both: /usr/bin/powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-* and: /usr/local/bin/powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-* in a powerpc64 environment confuses "phase: build-depends" in poudriere for the devel/powerpc64-gcc build: =======================<phase: build-depends >============================ ===> powerpc64-gcc-6.4.0_2 depends on executable: powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-as - found I.e., poudriere finds /usr/bin/powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-as and concludes that devel/powerpc64-binutils does not need to be installed for the devel/powerpc64-gcc to build. Eventually this leads to aborting based on gcc's config noticing an oddity: . . . checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/bin/powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-ld checking if the linker (/usr/bin/powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-ld) is GNU ld... yes configure: error: cannot execute: /usr/local/bin/powerpc64-unknown-freebsd12.0-ld: check --with-ld or env. var. DEFAULT_LINKER This is associated with: CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--target=${GCC_TARGET} --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ \ --enable-gnu-indirect-function \ --without-headers \ --with-gmp=${LOCALBASE} \ --with-pkgversion="FreeBSD Ports Collection for ${PKGNAMEPREFIX:C/-//g}" \ --with-system-zlib \ --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/v1/ \ --with-sysroot="/" \ --with-as=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${BU_PREFIX}-as \ --with-ld=${LOCALBASE}/bin/${BU_PREFIX}-ld having the --with-ld not list the */bin/${BU_PREFIX}-ld it actually finds and tests in config ( /usr used instead of ${LOCALBASE} ). If any other port binds to devel/powerpc64-binutils it probably has the same sort of issue. (Unlikely?) This is not likely to be specific to powerpc64 as a base/binutils target: powerpc64 is likely just an example. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ freebsd-toolchain@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-toolchain-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
