This looks like the native assembler version. Is there a way to
actually
activate the port?
On my Linux machines, /usr/bin/as is part of binutils:
list-files binutils | grep bin
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/size
/usr/bin/ld
/usr/bin/strip
/usr/bin/ranlib
/usr/bin/objdump
/usr/bin/ar
/usr/bin/addr2line
/usr/bin/c++filt
/usr/bin/nm
/usr/bin/objcopy
/usr/bin/gprof
/usr/bin/strings
/usr/bin/as
/usr/bin/readelf
On OSX, the binutils port doesn't include bin/as:
Port binutils contains:
/opt/local/bin/gaddr2line
/opt/local/bin/gar
/opt/local/bin/gc++filt
/opt/local/bin/gnm
/opt/local/bin/gobjcopy
/opt/local/bin/gobjdump
/opt/local/bin/granlib
/opt/local/bin/greadelf
/opt/local/bin/gsize
/opt/local/bin/gstrings
/opt/local/bin/gstrip
/opt/local/i386-apple-darwin8.9.1/bin/ar
/opt/local/i386-apple-darwin8.9.1/bin/nm
/opt/local/i386-apple-darwin8.9.1/bin/objdump
/opt/local/i386-apple-darwin8.9.1/bin/ranlib
/opt/local/i386-apple-darwin8.9.1/bin/strip
transcode and presumably other packages ask for bin/as. It doesn't
look
like it's ported?
You can read the binutils portfile yourself ("port cat binutils |
less") and see that it's not doing anything special -- it's not like
it's deliberately excluding gas.
Upon further investigation, I see that the configure script provided
with binutils simply does not build gas on Darwin (i.e. Mac OS X):
*-*-darwin*)
noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs ld gas gdb gprof"
noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs sim target-rda"
noconfigdirs="$noconfigdirs ${libgcj}"
;;
I do not know why they do this, or whether you would get a working
gas by simply taking it out of the noconfigdirs list. You could give
it a try and let us know.
