Hi,

I am trying to build sage from the source code on my Mac with an M1 processor. I mention the M1 processor, because I was able to install on an older Intel based Mac without a problem.

Anyway, after downloading and extracting the 9.6 files into a directory, I ran the following commands:

./configure --enable-glucose

export MAKE="make -j6"

make

After a few minutes of it attempting to build things, it quit with the following messages. Let me know if you have any ideas how to get past this.


Error building Sage.

The following package(s) may have failed to build (not necessarily during this run of 'make all-start'):

  • package: gfortran-11.3.0 last build time: Jun 20 17:09 log file: /Users/cmann/sage/sage-9.6/logs/pkgs/gfortran-11.3.0.log build directory: /Users/cmann/sage/sage-9.6/local/var/tmp/sage/build/gfortran-11.3.0

  • package: gcc-11.3.0 last build time: Jul 5 14:02 log file: /Users/cmann/sage/sage-9.6/logs/pkgs/gcc-11.3.0.log build directory: /Users/cmann/sage/sage-9.6/local/var/tmp/sage/build/gcc-11.3.0

  • package: m4ri-20200115 last build time: Jul 5 14:05 log file: /Users/cmann/sage/sage-9.6/logs/pkgs/m4ri-20200115.log build directory: /Users/cmann/sage/sage-9.6/local/var/tmp/sage/build/m4ri-20200115

  • package: openblas-0.3.20 last build time: Jul 5 14:19 log file: /Users/cmann/sage/sage-9.6/logs/pkgs/openblas-0.3.20.log build directory: /Users/cmann/sage/sage-9.6/local/var/tmp/sage/build/openblas-0.3.20

It is safe to delete any log files and build directories, but they contain information that is helpful for debugging build problems. WARNING: If you now run 'make' again, the build directory of the same version of the package will, by default, be deleted. Set the environment variable SAGE_KEEP_BUILT_SPKGS=yes to prevent this.

As noted on the page https://trac.sagemath.org/wiki/Releas..., Sage's version of gfortran will not build on the M1 chip. Please follow the directions there and in the Installation guide. In particular, this page gives instructions for building with homebrew or this page for instructions to use Conda.

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure I followed those directions, but I still got those errors. I'll go back through it carefully and see if I didn't miss something. If it still doesn't work I'll come back.

If you follow the instructions and everything is working right, then Sage should rely on a version of gfortran (for example) installed by homebrew or conda, not build its own. With homebrew you also need to run source .homebrew-build-env before building to help Sage find the relevant components.
