Under Mac OS X 10.9.5, port install openmodelica-devel +libraries +clang -qt fails:

From the above, it is not clear if the error message about ATOMIC_OPS caused the problem.

Running

This is on a fairly new mac without much installed:

sh-3.2# port installed requested
The following ports are currently installed:
  autoconf @2.69_2 (active)
  dos2unix @6.0.3_0 (active)
  emacs @24.4_1 (active)
  gcc44 @4.4.7_9 (active)
  gcc49 @4.9.2_1 (active)
  p7zip @9.20.1_1 (active)
sh-3.2#

I've tried various combinations of compilers, but have not gotten past this point.

I first noticed the problem on December 24, 2014.

Any ideas?

output of port install openmodelica-devel +libraries +clang -qt

[Christopher Brooks <cxh@…>]

I was able to install using macports after completely removing macports and starting over.

To remove macports, see ​https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html, which says:

$ sudo port -fp uninstall installed

and

 sudo rm -rf \
        /opt/local \
        /Applications/DarwinPorts \
        /Applications/MacPorts \
        /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* \
        /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg \
        /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg \
        /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup \
        /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 \
        /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 \
        ~/.macports

I think reinstalled macports and followed the instructions at ​https://openmodelica.org/download/download-mac

I did:

sudo -i
echo rsync://build.openmodelica.org/macports/ >> /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
port update
port upgrade outdated
port install openmodelica-devel +libraries -qt 

When I was having this problem, it was with a fairly recent and clean macports installation, so there was a bug somewhere. My guess is that the bug is either solved or worked around by working from a clean macports install.

This bug could be closed as it is no longer reproducible on the reporter's machine.

I think we have the automake dependency now.
