Unable to build Sage develop branch on MacOS 10.13.6

[Jing Guo]

Hi,

I am interested in applying to Sage GSoC so I am trying to build from source by myself, however I encountered the following:

Error building Sage.

The following package(s) may have failed to build (not necessarily
during this run of 'make all-start'):

* package:         eclib-20210625
  last build time: 4 14 23:26
  log file:        /Users/Latisp/github/sage/logs/pkgs/eclib-20210625.log
  build directory: /Users/Latisp/github/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/eclib-20210625

It is safe to delete any log files and build directories, but they
contain information that is helpful for debugging build problems.
WARNING: If you now run 'make' again, the build directory of the
same version of the package will, by default, be deleted. Set the
environment variable SAGE_KEEP_BUILT_SPKGS=yes to prevent this.

make[1]: *** [all-start] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I read relevant post [0] here and used `./configure --enable-download-from-upstream-url` but that still does not solve my problem. So I was wondering that could you give me some hints or possible approaches to resolve this?

Thank you. Please see attached files for the log.

[Matthias Koeppe]

The config.log that you sent does not correspond to this build.

It comes from a run of "configure" that ended with the error:

"configure:10277: error: Cannot build Sage on macOS with GNU's gcc. Make use gcc and g++ are actually Clang compilers."

So what needs to be done here is to clean up PATH. I don't know what /opt/local is on your machine, but that's what I'd suggest to remove first.

[Jing Guo]

Thank you. I used MacPorts to install `gcc` but after I did some changes, the problem is now resolved. I installed `libpng` via MacPorts, however, when I am trying to build, this appears:

It is safe to delete any log files and build directories, but they
contain information that is helpful for debugging build problems.
WARNING: If you now run 'make' again, the build directory of the
same version of the package will, by default, be deleted. Set the
environment variable SAGE_KEEP_BUILT_SPKGS=yes to prevent this.

Using macports is currently untested. I have a branch for macports support in https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31505 (which I've just rebased on the current release candidate). Please try with this.

Thank you, Prof. Koeppe.

I was just wondering that is there another way to resolve this without having to "build everything" from scartch again?

Hello, 

Not sure if I am the best person to answer this (I am not a maintainer).

But as far as I know, the only way to get all dependencies correct would be to build from scratch. Because one thing is linked symbolically in many places, so to update all of them would require a complete build from scratch.

Hope that helps
