Compiler error on OS X 10.5.2 in agg

Hi Stephane,

[CC'd to the matplotlib-users list in case others will find this useful.]

I got the same problem.
Can you tell me where you specified the -Os option to gcc to escape the problem?

So the compile that command that failed is printed right above the error message it generated. (The long line that starts with 'gcc' ...). I just copied this command, edited the -O3 to an -Os, and pasted that command-line back into the terminal. Total low-tech hack, as I didn't want to much with the setup.py file to fix compile flags on a per-file basis.

After that file is compiled manually, you can re-run 'python setup.py build', and it will start up at the next step after the error.

I got the same error in another step, which was a bit trickier to fix, because for some reason, src/_image.cpp gets copied to src/image.cpp on a temporary basis, and then compiled. (I presume the file isn't also modified?) But after the compile errors out, the copy is deleted, so just pasting in the offending gcc command doesn't work. So I had to manually copy src/_image.cpp to scr/image.cpp, and then paste in the modified gcc command.

Ugh! I'd really love some help reducing this to a test case that I can send to Apple.

Hello,

I just tried to compile the SVN head of matplotlib (r4994) from source
on OS X 10.5.2 (with source builds of python 2.5.2 and the SVN head of
numpy), and ran into an "internal compiler error" in the agg code.
(pkgconfig 0.23 and wxPython 2.8.7.1 also present and accounted for.)

Here's the compile line and error:

This seems to be an agg and OS X error; it's cropped up here:
#2368 (AGG fails to compile on OSX Leopard) – MapServer
and John Hunter reported it on the agg list here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.agg/3963

Unfortunately, the error appears to either not have been fixed by the
10.5.1 update, as suggested in the email thread cited above, or the
error re-appeared in 10.5.2.

Changing the optimization flag from -O3 to -Os and compiling
_image.cpp manually (along with copying src/_image.cpp to src/
image.cpp and compiling that manually in the same way) allowed me to
finish building matplotlib, but clearly an optimized agg image library
is pretty important... (-O2 didn't work...)

Anyone have any idea at all about this error? Or is just turning off -
O3 for this file the best thing to do until Apple fixes the compiler
bug? Does anyone who knows more about agg than I want to try to reduce
this to a test case?

I've got the same error(s) in the same situation (10.5.2). I haven't seen it any other context nor have had any success in reducing to a test case, alas. Could this have to do with picking up libraries (from fink or elsewhere) and/or different compiler versions? I've got XCode 3 and gcc 4.0. (I've actually got the apple 4.2 preview release as well but that craps out even earlier, I assume due to library version mismatches...)

I'm pretty sure what I'm seeing isn't from Fink or other library versions -- this was on a pretty clean 10.5 install. I'm using a custom-built Python 2.5.2 instead of Apple's, so that required installing a new version of readline, but other than that, the system is plain vanilla.

Has nobody else built matplotlib from source on 10.5.2 lately?

I tried it after seeing your message. Indeed I got the same internal gcc failure. This is a compiler problem the with the gcc on 10.5.2 (and 10.5.1 I think). I found the same error message on many google hits outside of matplotlib. Your suggestion of compiling with -Os for the two problem files worked fine for me.

Have you tried the methods above? (I have not.) They would apply to the whole build, but for mpl I don't see that as a problem, provided they make the build work.
