Bug 516436 – [MacOS] bootstrap fails due to python-2.7.3-patched

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description iloveosxzfs 2014-07-05 12:21:11 UTC]

On OS X 10.9.3, the initial prefix bootstrap fails while building python-2.7.3-patched because _config_vars['CXXFLAGS'] is undefined. There are a few ways that worked to fix this:
1. Use the un-pre-patched python 2.7.3
2. Use the un-pre-patched python 2.7.5 (but this requires unxz, which I happen to have from Homebrew)
3. Manually patch python-2.7.3-patched to correct the problem by setting _config_vars['CXXFLAGS'] equal to _config_vars['CFLAGS'] before it is accessed.


Full build log attached.

This is still happening as of today.

Weird, what OSX is this?

[Comment 5 Fabian Groffen 2015-05-31 10:19:03 UTC]

I could not reproduce this problem today.

This still fails on OS X 10.8.5 with the latest snapshot bump (PV="20150531"). The bootstrap did finish successfully on OS X 10.9.3.

s/10.9.3/10.10.3/
(The successful prefix bootstrap today was on Yosemite OS X 10.10.3 (14D136))

OS X 10.8.5 (12F2518) fails as described above.

[Comment 8 Fabian Groffen 2017-09-12 11:14:59 UTC]

Do you still have a need to bootstrap that 10.8.5?  If not I'd rather ignore the issue and focus our resources on the latest version(s).

I am on Big Sur now.
