I'm attempting to follow the instructions at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-macos.xml, hoping for 64-bit native compilation. My troubles begin at step 1.7: emerge --oneshot bash fails at the ncurses build, with ld warning: in ../lib/libform.dylib, file is not of required architecture ld warning: in ../lib/libmenu.dylib, file is not of required architecture ld warning: in ../lib/libpanel.dylib, file is not of required architecture ld warning: in ../lib/libncurses.dylib, file is not of required architecture and then a metric ton of undefined symbols messages. Thinking that perhaps a --nodeps was intended here, I proceeded with --nodeps. Next roadblock, however, came in step 1.8: emerge --oneshot --nodeps lzma-utils fails similarly, with ld warning: in getopt.o, file is not of required architecture ld warning: in getopt1.o, file is not of required architecture and then the undefined symbols. emerge --oneshot --nodeps binutils-apple also fails with ld warning: in debugline.o, file is not of required architecture and now I'm stuck, since gcc-apple needs this stuff. I'm too ignorant of the details of compiling 64-bit vs. 32-bit, but it seems to me that this stuff should work, or the documentation (which says ‘We currently have only an Intel 64-bits prefix on Leopard tested.’) should be updated. I'm on a MacBook Pro 5,1 running Leopard, by the way. Reproducible: Always
are you sure you exported CC, CXX and HOST_CC?
(In reply to comment #1) > are you sure you exported CC, CXX and HOST_CC? Per the instructions, I exported CC, CXX, and HOSTCC (no underscore). I'll try again from the top and this time also export HOST_CC="gcc -m64"!
You seem to have struck at the heart of it, sir! Re-exporting CC, CXX, HOSTCC, and HOST_CC and proceeding from step 1.5 has done away with all problems encountered thus far. Thanks for the cluedump.
