cmake: build failure for 4-way universal: missing required architecture x86_64 in file

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger on an Intel Mac. In my macports.conf I have universal_archs set to all four architectures (ppc i386 ppc64 x86_64) and cmake gives complaints like:

ld64 warning: in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks//Carbon.framework/Carbon, missing required architecture x86_64 in file

and

ld64 warning: in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks//Carbon.framework/Carbon, missing required architecture ppc64 in file

Carbon is not available on 64-bit, so cmake should not be attempting to use it when built on 64-bit architectures.

Carbon is available as 64-bit on Leopard, just not on Tiger.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to jmr@…:

Carbon is available as 64-bit on Leopard, just not on Tiger.

I see that cmake does build universal for all four architectures on Leopard, but are you sure Leopard has 64-bit Carbon? ​Apple's page about Carbon says "Carbon is a 32-bit procedural API" and ​Ars Technica says "Though several non-GUI parts of the Carbon API that are shared with Cocoa will be supported in 64-bit mode in Leopard, the GUI portions of the Carbon API will not." We recently had to remove some Carbon calls from Carbon functions cairo in 64-bit mode; I assumed it was for this reason.

[Veence (Vincent)]

Definitely, Carbon IS NOT 64-bit capable. Only Cocoa is, and this is not going to evolve in 10.6 Snow Leopard. Carbon is now considered legacy by Apple, the new developments will focus on Cocoa. So, as long as softwares rely on Carbon, they will be 32-bit only. This also includes WxWidgets, for example, until WxCocoa is out.

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

Cc Me!

[cssdev]

I'll have to dig a little more into how it's actually using Carbon. CMake's installer tool, CPack, uses Carbon to launch some scripts. Until there are upstream changes, I think that CMake needs to remain 32-bit only. (Although it should still be able to configure 64-bit builds.)

[cssdev]

Some of the CMake bug reports (such as ​#4348 and ​#6051) might be related to these errors. It's not entirely clear if the ​cmake build dashboard includes a 64-bit build.

It looks like CMake is lazily linking against Carbon when it instead needs to link only against CoreFoundation.

Could you attach a verbose build log?

Sure, it's attached​.

Replace Carbon with CoreFoundation when linking bootstrap

[cssdev]

Could you apply this patch and see if it works? It seems to work on my machine ... replacing Carbon with CoreFoundation pulls in the correct symbols, yet CoreFoundation is available universally.

Milestone Port Bugs deleted

[tobypeterson]

This is not a legitimate bug - you should not be building 4-way on Tiger, since it only provides i386/ppc libraries/frameworks.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I've built tons of ports 4-way universal on Tiger. If the maintainer doesn't want to fix this port to build 4-way universal on Tiger, then that's "wontfix", not "invalid". But that's for the maintainer to decide, since there is no MacPorts policy that says we won't support 4-way universal builds on Tiger.

[tobypeterson]

Ok, marking wontfix (it's really cantfix). CoreFoundation is not 64-bit on Tiger, and cmake requires CoreFoundation, thus this bug cannot be fixed.

That makes sense ... I no longer have access to a Tiger system, so that's good confirmation that the proposed patch wouldn't fix the problem anyway. Thanks for the clarification!
