Hi:

I don't know if this has been discussed yet but
I just upgraded to mac os 11.0. I downloaded
sage 9.2.b9 and ran make. I got a "you must
run ./configure first message, which I did.
Then I ran make and the compilation stopped while
compiling python 3. The log is attached.

note: 'utimensat' has been marked as being introduced in macOS 10.13
here, but the deployment target is macOS 10.9.0

seems to indicate that one has to properly set MACOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
(or a suchlike thing) to 10.13 or even bigger.

indeed, in src/bin/sage-env on has

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9

which is the reason for that error, I guess.

Shouldn't it be 11.0?

I changed it then tried to recompile but it stopped at the same place.
I can't install a system python3 using homebrew since it's broken

you can install a binary python3.7 from python.org - this is known to
be possible to use in Sage on macOS 10.15 and earlier versions.

you can install a binary python3.7 from python.org - this is known to
be possible to use in Sage on macOS 10.15 and earlier versions.


I installed both python 3.8.5 (the latest) and when that failed 3.7.9.

The end of the output of configure is this seeming contradictory info:

configure: notice: the following SPKGs did not find equivalent system packages: brial cbc cddlib cliquer coxeter3 eclib ecm fflas_ffpack flintqs fplll gf2x gfan givaro glpk gp2c gsl iconv iml lcalc libatomic_ops libbraiding libsemigroups lrcalc m4ri m4rie nauty ninja_build openblas palp pandoc pari pari_elldata pari_galdata pari_galpol pari_nftables pari_seadata pari_seadata_small pcre perl_cpan_polymake_prereq perl_term_readline_gnu planarity ppl python3 r rw suitesparse symmetrica sympow tachyon yasm zeromq zn_poly

checking for the package system in use... unknown

wdj@jeeves sage-9.2.beta9 % which python3   

/usr/local/bin/python3

wdj@jeeves sage-9.2.beta9 % python3 --version

Python 3.7.9

There isn't a python3 system package but there is?

This notice is more about ./configure being confused whether there is
Homebrew or Conda installed.

The interesting line of ./configure output is above that notice:

python3-3.7.3.p1: using system package;
SPKG will not be installed

- if it's there then system Python will be used.
Otherwise, look in config.log for more details.

I've been trying to build on Big Sur, too. I removed the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET lines from sage-env, but the Python build still fails. The log file is attached. Any suggestions (besides installing a different system version of Python)?

If I do install Python 3.7, then gf2x and ecm both fail to build. The gf2x log file says "configure: error: Cannot find a build system compiler
". The ecm log file says "checking if globals are prefixed by underscore... configure: error: Test program links neither with nor without underscore."

This fix was already merged in 3.8.4, so after https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27754 we should be fine.

The PR for Python 3.7 is https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/21155, but our Python 3.7.x is very old already.

gf2x was just upgraded in https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/30412 - merged in 9.2.beta11. Did you test with this beta or an earlier one?

I tried with 9.2.beta10, and just now I tried with this new version of gf2x. Same error either way. Here is the gf2x config.log.

These lines:
configure:17396: checking build system compiler gcc
etc.
might indicate that the configure script is confused about cross compiling to a different architecture.

 I downloaded sage 9.2.b12 then ran configure and make using newly upgraded Xcode 12.
Instead of failing at python it fails at readline. The log is attached.

try upgrading to the latest readline (8.0.4), e.g. install as much as

the top level config.log will tell you why ./configure did not accept pre-installed readline.

probably you forgot to

source .homebrew...

before 

./configure



 (afk, so don't recall the exact file name, but it is the only one that starts with '.' and has homebrew in)
