could not spawn `yum list nettle` on MacOS

Question

could not spawn `yum list nettle` on MacOS

stevengj opened this issue 8 years ago · comments

Doing Pkg.build("Nettle") with a fresh Julia master install gives:

LoadError: could not spawn `yum list nettle`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)
while loading /Users/stevenj/.julia/v0.6/Nettle/deps/build.jl, in expression starting on line 39

on MacOS, which is surprising since it shouldn't even be using yum on a Mac.

Same error with both the tagged and master versions of Nettle, Homebrew, and BinDeps.

Commenting out the provides( Yum, "nettle", nettle ) line in deps/build.jl fixes the problem.

cc @tkelman, @Keno — has something changed recently in BinDeps that would break Nettle's build script?

How recently? In theory the first page or two of https://github.com/JuliaLang/BinDeps.jl/commits/master is mostly deprecation fixes or test adjustments inside BinDeps. Can you bisect against BinDeps if it's repeatable?

Yes, it's repeatable. Git bisect says that the first bad commit is JuliaPackaging/BinDeps.jl@91fce47:

91fce47c8f5f367b107aed242bb3979fbb7de4d7 is the first bad commit

    Fix OS_NAME dep warn (#237)

    * Fix OS_NAME dep warn

    * Add fix

    Check if Unix, compare with KERNEL, if not, compare with :NT

    * Use OSNAME to denote the OS

    * Remove `@static` and fix line

(Which makes no sense to me.)

Tony Kelman · Answer 5 · Fri Aug 05 2016 01:56:55 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

maybe that does need to be @static?

Steven G. Johnson · Answer 6 · Fri Aug 05 2016 01:57:13 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Wait, now I can no longer reproduce the problem... so the bisect results are probably meaningless.

Steven G. Johnson · Answer 7 · Fri Aug 05 2016 01:59:57 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Grrr, I don't know what happened. After bisecting, the problem suddenly went away.

The problem seems to occur intermittently on Windows, too — see the AppVeyor failure in #75.

Try on rc0? Both rc1 and the nightlies have some important pieces of the type system and precompilation a bit broken, unfortunately.

Should have been fixed on release-0.5 and master

Awesome, I'll close this; will reopen if I ever see it again.
