[petsc-users] Installation issue of 3.18.* and 3.19.0 on Apple systems

[Kaus, Boris]

It can be reproduced with this:
sandbox:${WORKSPACE}/srcdir/petsc-3.18.0 # ./configure --prefix=/workspace/destdir/lib/petsc/double_real_Int32/
*******************************************************************************
    TypeError or ValueError possibly related to ERROR in COMMAND LINE ARGUMENT while running ./configure
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

    config = type(self, *keywordArgs)
  File "/workspace/srcdir/petsc-3.18.0/config/BuildSystem/config/utilities/macosFirewall.py", line 12, in __init__
    self.isDarwin = config.setCompilers.Configure.isDarwin(self.log)
  File "/workspace/srcdir/petsc-3.18.0/config/BuildSystem/config/setCompilers.py", line 664, in isDarwin

It seems there's some typo/error in the configure command that is being executed. Can you post it here?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to install precompiled binaries for PETSc 3.18.5 & 3.19.0 using the BinaryBuilder cross-compilation:
https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/pull/6533, which mostly works fine: https://buildkite.com/julialang/yggdrasil/builds/2093).

Yet, on apple systems I receive a somewhat weird bug during the configure step:

[22:08:49] *******************************************************************************

[22:08:49] make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
[22:08:49] make: *** [GNUmakefile:17: lib/petsc/conf/petscvariables] Error 2

The log file is rather brief:

sandbox:${WORKSPACE}/srcdir/petsc-3.18.0 # more configure.log
Executing: uname -s
stdout: Darwin

It works fine for PETSc 3.16.5/3.17.5, and this first occurs in 3.18.0.
Is there something that changed between 3.17 & 3.18 that could cause this?

The build system seems to use python3.9 (3.4+ as required)

Thanks!
Boris
