Just to rule out the obvious can you try a build with CFLAGS=-g ?

Thanks.

By default, Mac OS 10.6's compilers will try to produce 64-bit
executables and genbc doesn't work. You can successfully build if
you're willing to generate 32-bit executables as per the instructions
on the wiki: http://smalltalk.gnu.org/node/223

If you're not interested in any of the Gtk stuff, you can simply
configure it with this command:
MAKE=gnumake CFLAGS='-m32' LDFLAGS='-arch i386' ./configure

I recommend building with gnumake, not make. If you want Gtk stuff,
check the wiki.

So genbc is not 64-bit clean? /me scratches head :-)

Looks like it's a fault of libsigsegv, actually.

building it works just fine, but "make check" reports failure of all
tests in 64-bit mote

Are you certain? genbc never worked for me when compiled as 64-bit.
However, if match.h had already been generated from a previous build,
it could have skipped the genbc step. Maybe there's a difference in
bytecodes between 32 and 64-bit VMs And your match.h has been generated
with the 32-bit versions?

Paolo; the errors that I had found with genbc were in the avltrees code
but I didn't get a chance to hunt them down.

OK, I think I'll give up with the macports package…
I tried the "From source" method with GTK+ OSX. I get a  working gst,
but the Cairo package does not get built (I don't have Cairo.star).

From config.log, pkg-config and gawk gnumake are found/used, all paths
to add to PKG_CONFIG_PATH seem ok, but libcairo is not found.
I tried adding -L/Library/Frameworks/Cairo.framework/Libraries to
LDFLAGS, but I suspect that's redundant with pkginfo…

Cairo is now sought with pkg-config.  I'm not sure it will work to use
the Cairo bindings directly, because those just do dlopen("libcairo"),
but it should be enough when the GTK package is also loaded.

Woohoo, I got a look at the VisualGST browser! :)

To get the cairo bindings to work without loading GTK, lt_dlopen would
need to support loading Mac OS X frameworks.

However, it's cool that you got everything to work!

that is a blocker for 64-bit builds on mac

p.s. I didn't answer on bug itself, this time as this is a question, which doesn't add value there. correct me if I'm doing wrong

I'm curious if it is just not a libtool bug, or something like that.
I mean, if building works fine it is already doing a lot of things
(after all gst-package runs correctly!).

You can definitely play with gst and see if you can make it crash.
For example, try running "tests/gst" (the wrapper that loads all the
.so modules) instead of "./gst" (the naked executable).  That might
even be enough, and would point to a libtool problem.

Perfectly fine, thanks.

Paolo

You missed the point :)

The problem is with libsigsegv

Ah :-) I guess I'll import a new libsigsegv then.  I'm still curious
why the build and gst-package runs though. :-)

Have you tried --disable-generational-gc?

This is still a problem on Mac OS X Yosemite.  Compiling as 32 bit makes
it work.
