in OSX snow leopard, Configure.pl stops on step#29 auto::va_ptr

[sng2nara]

Report failure of Configure.pl on Mac OS X SnowLeopard at auto::va_ptr. Configuration attempted first with ActivePerl.

1. Please try to configure with the vendor perl executable, which is probably /usr/bin/perl. I ask this because I doubt we have ever had someone try to build Parrot on OS X by using ActivePerl.

2. When you do so, please call:

perl Configure.pl --test --configure_trace --verbose-step=auto::va_ptr

Then post the entire output as an attachment.

Thank you very much. kid51

The part of your attachment beginning with this line:

  Summary of my parrot 2.6.0 (r0) configuration

... and below appears to be from the file ./myconfig. But that file is not created until configuration is complete (or in one of the very last configuration steps).

If your configuration got that far, then by definition it got through config step auto::va_ptr. So I'm confused.

I will say that, in your attachment, the fact that ccflags does not have an entry of -DVA_TYPE_STACK or -DVA_TYPE_REGISTER is probably correlated with your problem.

For reference: The terminology VA_TYPE_STACK and VA_TYPE_REGISTER was originally suggested by ... me! (Much to my surprise!)

But that's because we encountered some problems here nearly three years ago:  RT #47313

Replying to jkeenan:

That part of my post is probably wrong. -DVA_TYPE_STACK or -DVA_TYPE_REGISTER appears in the verbose output of config step auto::va_ptr. But it doesn't make it into myconfig.

However, if you did get as far as myconfig, you should also have lib/Parrot/Config/Generated.pm available. In that file's %PConfig, what do you have for va_ptr_type?

(This is what I have on Darwin/PPC: 'va_ptr_type' => 'stack',)

Thanks for everybody!!

I found what is problem!! C_INCLUDE_PATH was missed. ;-)

To solve, Add following to .profile.

export C_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin10/4.2.1/include"
