Unable to install fuse4x-kext on Lion

It fails to install:

When I look in the build directory, I see that the files are directly in "build" and not in "build/Release" as the script expects:

It works fine for me on Lion. What version of Xcode are you using?

Can you provide the debug log in /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_fuse_fuse4x-kext/fuse4x-kext/main.log ?

[jeremy@…]

Xcode 4.2. Log attached.

Just installed xcode 4.2

$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 4.2
Build version 4C177

on my macosx 10.6 and everything works fine.

Jeremy, what if you build ​https://github.com/fuse4x/kext/ do you still see binaries in "build/"? What about other projects (non fuse4x) does xcode also build them into "build/" folder?

Could it be some kind of xcode preference? Maybe CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR ​http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/XcodeBuildSettingRef/1-Build_Setting_Reference/build_setting_ref.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003931-CH3-SW105

[anatol (Anatol Pomozov)]

Jeremy,

Do you still see this issue?

[jeremy@…]

I still see the issue.

If I check out the project directly and build it, then the kext goes into:

build/Debug/fuse4x.kext

I have not seen this with other projects.

[anatol (Anatol Pomozov)]

The ./build.rb script in fuse4x sets following XCode settings: "SYMROOT=build SHARED_PRECOMPS_DIR=build" ​https://github.com/fuse4x/kext/blob/master/build.rb#L26 they force to use ./build/$CONFIGURATION as output folder.

The logs above make me think that macports needs it as well. Dan, most likely adding

xcode.build.settings SYMROOT=build SHARED_PRECOMPS_DIR=build

to Portfile fix the issue.

[anatol (Anatol Pomozov)]

Jeremy, could you please "sudo port edit fuse4x-kext", then add line

xcode.build.settings SYMROOT=build SHARED_PRECOMPS_DIR=build

and see if it solves your problem?

[jeremy@…]

That did not work...it built the kext at "build/fuse4x.kext", but the scripts expected it at "build/Release/fuse4x.kext". This did work however:

xcode.build.settings SYMROOT=build/Release SHARED_PRECOMPS_DIR=build/Release

[anatol (Anatol Pomozov)]

Looking at ​http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/XcodeBuildSettingRef/1-Build_Setting_Reference/build_setting_ref.html

I see that $CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR options defines where the final build files are located. By default it is $SYMROOT/$CONFIGURATION, but it looks like this option is redefined in your environment.

Jeremy, what do you see if you set in the Portfile

xcode.build.settings CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=build/Release

PS I should look at the fuse4x build and avoid using hardcoded path, I think fuse4x build system should use "xcodebuild install" instead.

[anatol (Anatol Pomozov)]

Wait, earlier you said that "./build.rb" from sources works fine. That script sets "SYMROOT=build SHARED_PRECOMPS_DIR=build", but then you said that setting the same variables in Portfile does not help. I am puzzled...

Looking at *.log file you uploaded some time ago I see that macports sets OBJROOT/SYMROOT to "build/" automatically...

[drkp (Dan Ports)]

I haven't been able to reproduce this on any of the xcode versions I've tried, so perhaps it's something specific to your configuration?
