Description Trond Endrestøl 2019-02-20 18:05:41 UTC

After clang 7.0.1 was introduced in base/stable/11, r344213, building lang/julia exhibits the following link errors:

Previously the link errors was limited to base/head, but now I fear base/stable/12 is equally affected.

lang/julia pulls in lang/gcc8, presumably as a build tool, yet it proceeds to use cc (clang 7.0.1) as its compiler.

Maybe an adjustment of LD is all that's required.

Comment 1 Iblis Lin 2019-02-22 09:19:13 UTC

Hi,
Seems the error is from the build process of private LLVM build.
Are you able to build devel/llvm60 on your environment?

Comment 2 Trond Endrestøl 2019-02-22 11:20:27 UTC

(In reply to Iblis Lin from comment #1)
Yes, graphics/mesa-libs depends on lang/llvm60, and they are both well and alive.

Comment 3 Iblis Lin 2019-02-23 06:48:19 UTC

what is your malloc.conf setting?

Comment 4 Trond Endrestøl 2019-02-23 15:33:43 UTC

(In reply to Iblis Lin from comment #3)
It's non-existent.

Comment 5 Trond Endrestøl 2019-02-23 15:43:02 UTC

This failure is consistent with that of https://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-pkg-fallout@freebsd.org/msg1022301.html
However, in my case both kernel and world are in sync.

Comment 6 Iblis Lin 2019-02-24 02:54:04 UTC

well, I installed a vm from the 11.2-STABLE snapshot.
(https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/VM-IMAGES/11.2-STABLE/amd64/Latest/)

Found that if I build Julia v1.0 from github source,
it builds without error.
But the one in ports failed.
I'm investigating the environment variables set by ports framework.

This looks to be a bug in binutils 2.32.  I see the exact same assertion failure when building devel/llvm60 on powerpcspe, but it succeeds on powerpc64.  Unfortunately for me it takes 20 hours to reproduce for that target.

lang/julia10, the only consumer left of lang/julia, expired two days ago and this port is useless without lang/julia10. Please open a new PR for new similar issues.
