[Bug]: configure fails on Sonoma: `HDF5 C types failed check`

[barracuda156]

What happened?

Configure fails on Sonoma. Ventura (also on aarch64) seems to be fine: https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-13_arm64-builder/builds/38986/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

I wonder if this is a Macports packaging issue with the new Xcode 15 linker. I use similar AppleClang and Gfortran versions with Homebrew and don't have any issue.

I tried with CMake 3.27.7 and CMake 3.28.0-rc2

If you look at ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeFiles/CMakeConfigureLog.yaml near the bottom you will probably see errors about unknown linker flags. If that is the case, a generic workaround currently needed by many project since Xcode 15 is:

export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,-ld_classic"

You need a fresh build directory as LDFLAGS is only considered by CMake on the first project configure.

Hi! When I try to build it on Ubuntu 20.04 via GNU GCC 13.2.0, I got a same error. Is there a solution? My cmake version is 3.27.7 and hdf5 version is 1.12.2.

@scivision Thank you, I will check the linker issue. It might be the case, since we had it with some other ports. However, given that Ubuntu is affected, according to the comment above, the problem may be elsewhere.

[barracuda156]

The error only happens on Sonoma by the way: https://ports.macports.org/port/h5fortran/details Everything else builds fine (well, 10.6–10.7 x86 are broken on buildbots with Clangs, but everything 10.8+ builds – up to Ventura).

[barracuda156]

4.10.4 still fails.

[tsiayigong]

In my attempt 4.10.3 can be complie with gfortran 13.2.0, however 4.10.4 can not.

[barracuda156]

In my attempt 4.10.3 can be complie with gfortran 13.2.0, however 4.10.4 can not.

What error did you get? It worked for me with gcc13 (on 10.6).

[Dave-Allured]

The original issue is now RESOLVED for 4.10.4 on Macports. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/68499

• The original error message "Performing Test hdf5_c_types - Failed" is not accurate.
• The actual error was a configuration test failure under the hood, not related to type checking.
• The Cmake configuration log revealed the actual error from hdf5_c_types:

  ld: duplicate LC_RPATH '/opt/local/lib/libgcc' in '/opt/local/lib/libhdf5_fortran.310.dylib'
  clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1

• This was due to Macports update to Xcode 15 / Clang 15 on Sonoma.
• Xcode 15 includes a new linker with a new strict rule against duplicate LC_RPATH in dynamic libraries.
• The Macports HDF5 fortran libraries were previously built with duplicate LC_RPATH's, due to old habits. That is a long story. Therefore, the error after the Xcode 15 update.
• As of 2023 December 28, Macports HDF5 fortran libraries are now rebuilt with duplicate LC_RPATHS eliminated. Problem solved.

I predict that this problem can also happen on Ventura when updated to Xcode 15, and older HDF5 fortran library builds.

If you are satisfied, please close this ticket.
