error: could not find a working compiler on MacOS Big Sure

[shavrasho]

Hello,
the configure is not able to find a working compiler on MacOS Big Sure 11.0.1.
the gcc is installed, uptodate and avaible in $PATH!

./configure output:

That's because the "long long reliability test 2" trips the compiler:

GMP_PROG_CC_WORKS_PART([$1], [long long reliability test 2],
[/* The following provokes an internal compiler error on powerpc-apple-darwin.
   Extracted from mpz/cfdiv_q_2exp.c.  Causes Apple's gcc 3.3 build 1640 and
   1666 to get an ICE with -O1 -mpowerpc64.  */
#ifdef __GNUC__
f(int u){int i;long long x;x=u?~0:0;if(x)for(i=0;i<9;i++);x&=g();if(x)g();}
g(){}

but that program is invalid in C99, and clang12 errors out:

a.c:1:62: error: implicit declaration of function 'g' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
f(int u){int i;long long x;x=u?~0:0;if(x)for(i=0;i<9;i++);x&=g();if(x)g();}
                                                             ^

The test program should be adjusted to valid C99.

installing with HomeBrew dose actually work, however compiling from source or through https://github.com/macports/macports-base MacPorts brings the same problem!

Ok so either a patch like alisw/GMP@e85f960 or https://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-commit/2014-March/002052.html should be applied to acinclude.m4 it seems?

Excuse me, have you solved this problem? In a hurry to use MPIR....gnuradio in big sur

No, actully i still have the same problem and therfore couldnt install gnuradio also!
but if you need gnuradio only without the headers you can use brew install!
