Problem with brew install bsdmake

[dentarg]

When doing brew install -v bsdmake I get:

8 errors generated.
make: *** [pmake] Error 1

Full output from brew install -v bsdmake, brew --config and brew doctor can be found at https://gist.github.com/2805434.

I also noted that the URL below "Exit Status" is wrong (doesn't even mention homebrew).

@jacknagel I can compile bsdmake on my Lion Core i5 nehalem, but it fails on the user's sandybridge. Because it only compiles a single file uses a single compile command, this looks like it might have something to do with CFLAGS. My system used

-Os -w -pipe -march=native -Xclang -target-feature -Xclang -aes -Qunused-arguments -D__FBSDID=__RCSID -mdynamic-no-pic

@dentarg Would you please try to brew this in debug mode, and when it fails and you shell out to the debug command prompt, try to issue the compile command again but use my CFLAGS? Let us know how it works:

brew install -vd bsdmake
/usr/bin/clang -Os -w -pipe -march=native -Xclang -target-feature -Xclang -aes -Qunused-arguments -D__FBSDID=__RCSID -mdynamic-no-pic -DDEFSHELLNAME=\"sh\" -I. -c *.c

[jacknagel]

It compiles on 10.6 with clang 3.0 also.

[2bits]

Ok I guess that's not it. I'm stumped.

[jacknagel]

I only meant to add a data point, though my CFLAGS are identical to the OP's.

I get this error when trying to build it as well. FWIW, I'm using clang 3.1:

Apple clang version 3.1 (tags/Apple/clang-318.0.58) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.0
Thread model: posix

I tried the suggestion from @2bits above, but still get the same error. Is there an easy way to go back to clang 3.0 to try this?

[jacknagel]

I'm guessing you have go installed. The problem is that the go formula installs a conflicting ar.h header file that is then picked up during builds. This has been reported to MacPorts and upstream to go:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/30203
http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=2407

The upshot is that the go header files do not need to be installed at all. I've added a temporary hack to the go formula to remove everything under include.

(The go formula really needs some work. It installs everything into prefix and then does the build there; it should be modified to do the build in the temporary build directory and then install stuff.)

[jacknagel]

So the solution here is to brew update, reinstall go, and then install bsdmake.

[jwhitmire]

Excellent. I didn't need go installed for any particular reason (another instance of my intentions of playing with something never coming to fruition). I uninstalled go and bsdmake installed without issue. Thanks for the quick resolution of this issue.

[dentarg]

I also had go installed. Works now. Thanks!

Removing the header files breaks go's ability to install the cross compilers. The headers should not be removed form the keg. Instead they should not be symlinked.

[adamv]

We should install Go to "libexec" and then symlink out the things that matter, unless there is a ton of "stuff that matters". Haven't looked into it yet.

[fd]

well, go dist expects the headers to exist in $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/Cellar/go/1.0.1/include. Maybe the headers can be moved out of the way before linking the keg and then be moved back.

[adamv]

Let's open a new issue.
