Description haxpor 2018-10-17 18:30:21 UTC 
Follow along with the normal build flow with
- ./configure
- make

(previuosly compiled and built for 2.0.8 official stable is fine)

then it shows error as follows

LTLINK build/libSDL2.la
/opt/local/bin/ranlib: object: build/.libs/libSDL2.a(SDL.o) malformed object (unknown load command 1)
ar: internal ranlib command failed
make: *** [build/libSDL2.la] Error 1

Comment 1 haxpor 2018-10-17 19:43:04 UTC 
FYI: build against xcode Version 10.0 (10A255)
Comment 2 Ryan C. Gordon 2018-10-17 20:52:14 UTC 
This doesn't happen here; is there anything strange about how you ran configure, or something wild like it found Xcode 10's compiler but Xcode 9's linker?

("make V=1" will show the full command lines of all things make runs.)

Sorry for the spam: it's clear what the problem is:

/opt/local/bin/ranlib is not Xcode 10's copy of ranlib.

Thank you Ryan for fast reply!

You're completely right. It's about different copy of ranlib (and others too as I inspected in config.log).

The problem is due to Macport automatically injected setting PATH variable in my bash_profile long ago. After remove it, configure script can properly detect the right tools, and build successfully now.

Thanks again.
