Description Marián Černý 2021-05-25 07:19:15 UTC
When building lang/python38 without LIBFFI option (Use libffi from ports instead of bundled version) it fails to install:

    ===>  Installing for python38-3.8.10
    ===>  Checking if python38 is already installed
    ===>   Registering installation for python38-3.8.10
    pkg-static: Unable to access file /tmp/portbuild/usr/ports/lang/python38/work/stage/usr/local/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload/_ctypes.cpython-38.so:No such file or directory
    *** Error code 1

The error is probably a result of the previous build error (fatal error: 'ffi.h' file not found):

Had a couple of reports of this issue. Python unbundled libffi, necessitating depending on libffi for those versions onward.

The LIBFFI option should be removed across all lang/python* ports where this is the case, as it is no longer optional

Comment 5 John Hein 2021-06-08 15:15:32 UTC
Historical note: see bug 244782.  The LIBFFI option should probably have been removed from python38 when the change from that bug was committed.

(In reply to John Hein from comment #5)

Yep.
Comment 7 Wen Heping freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-06-10 02:02:42 UTC
I suggest we shall commit the patch for python39 first,
then ask for a exp-run for a full test of python38.

(In reply to Wen Heping from comment #7)

This doesn't need an exp-run, the builds fail when disabling the LIBFFI option, because its not longer bundled. The only possible successful build is with system (ports) libffi, which is what it defaults to now.

    lang/python3[89]: remove LIBFFI option

    Python now requires libffi from ports and does not build with LIBFFI
    disabled, so remove the option.
