building on OSX with gcc 4.7 and macports dependencies

[c.-2]

Hi,

Building the default branch of the development sources fails for me with the following
error:

------------------------------------------
/opt/local/bin/sed -e "" < ../../../octave/liboctave/cruft/slatec-fn/derfc.in.f > slatec-fn/derfc.f-t
/bin/sh: slatec-fn/derfc.f-t: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [slatec-fn/derfc.f] Error 1
make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
mkdir: slatec-fn: File exists
make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
------------------------------------------

I am using gcc 4.7 compilers and macports built dependencies on OSX 10.8.
Maybe this is related to recent changes to substitution patterns?

The version of sed I have is:

------------------------------------------
$ /opt/local/bin/sed --version

Any idea how I could debug this?

I'm not having any problem with gcc 4.5 on MacOS X (also using macports).  I'm also using GNU sed 4.2.2, but mine is called "gsed"

$ gsed --version
gsed (GNU sed) 4.2.2

I tested the command that is failing for you.

$ /opt/local/bin/gsed -e "" < derfc.in.f > derfc.f-t
$ ls -l derfc.f-t
-rw-r--r--  1 bpabbott  staff  13007 Mar  4 08:28 derfc.f-t

I also tried using Apple's sed.  They gave identical results.

Sorry I'm  not much help.  Any idea where your "/opt/local/bin/sed" came from?  Which Macports port?  or is it a symbolic link?

If I go back to gcc 4.5 it works without problems for me too, but I can't see how this can make
the difference I successfully built Octave with gc 4.7 on OSX 10.6 an various Linux distros ...

yes, it is just a symbolic link:
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  19 13 Jan 06:46 /opt/local/bin/sed -> /opt/local/bin/gsed
