VirtualBox 4.1.20_0, fail to find libcrypto

[xl64100@…]

I Can't upgrade virtualbox (was the same with 4.1.18 but I waited to see if it would be solved in next macports updates).

I get this log :

Oups, didn't preview. How can I edit it to make it more readable ?

Tried to force rebuild openssl as I assumed it was the one providing the libcrypto library but this had no effect...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The log also says:

Could you attach that file for us to look at?

Something must be wrong with your openssl installation. Please post the output of:

port contents openssl | grep -E '/opt/local/(include|lib)/'

Tried to force rebuild openssl

Are you saying the rebuild of openssl did not work? What was the command you used to force rebuild openssl?

This command should force openssl to rebuild: (man port: -n don't upgrade dependencies)

sudo port -n upgrade --force openssl

The errors in the configure.log you attached begin with:

These are all standard system headers that should be present if you have installed Xcode correctly. Are you sure you have installed the Xcode command line tools? This is a separate step you need to do from within Xcode's Preferences window's Downloads section.

I'm experiencing the same issue, I had command line tools installed for sure, recently I upgraded to 4.4.1 and installed them again. From Xcode preferences they are shown as installed as well.

I reverted up to two version bump of virtualbox port and still couldn't build it while I was certainly able to build it before, something's broken in tools setup.

I've isolated the C++ file used for testing by configure script and the actual failing build line, I'm attaching vbox-ssl-configure.cc and test-vbox-ssl-configure as minimal example. My output is

$ source test-vbox-ssl-configure.sh 
vbox-ssl-configure.cc:1:18: error: cstdio: No such file or directory

I'm not confident with C++, where should cstdio be located?

What I suspect is going on is that you're on Lion (not Mountain Lion), and my new macosx_deployment_target math is causing problems.

My MacPorts is a bit rusty. Is macosx_deployment_target derived from the OS version or the Xcode version? If it's the former, then the Portfile is trying to using Xcode 10.6, which doesn't exist in the newest version (only 10.7 and 10.8 supported).

Are you saying the rebuild of openssl did not work? What was the command you used to force rebuild openssl?

This command should force openssl to rebuild: (man port: -n don't upgrade dependencies)

sudo port -n upgrade --force openssl

This is what I have done to rebuild openssl, it rebuilds but there was no effect on virtualbox compilation.

What I suspect is going on is that you're on Lion (not Mountain Lion), and my new macosx_deployment_target math is causing problems.

It could but in this case the actual culprit is configure script that is assuming 10.6 is a valid SDK target on OS X 10.7, this isn't anymore the case since Xcode 4.4 and that's the reason why standard headers couldn't be find. I'm patching configure script and changing the reinplace to take care of $xcodeversion >= 4.4 case.

My MacPorts is a bit rusty. Is macosx_deployment_target derived from the OS version or the Xcode version? If it's the former, then the Portfile is trying to using Xcode 10.6, which doesn't exist in the newest version (only 10.7 and 10.8 supported).

It is​, unless set in configuration file by the user.

The port now builds succesfully on my 10.7.4 system with Xcode 4.4.1, committed r97075, ticket closed.

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

I received buildbot failure reports from both ​lion buildbot and ​snowleopard buildbot, although with different errors.

Lion buildbot show the issue of this ticket even if I compile succesfully on Lion, can anyone confirm that after r97075 he can build virtualbox on a Lion system? I'm using Xcode 4.4.1 but I'd like to hear from a 4.3 install too.

I can confirm the Snow Leopard build failure (although oldest_supported_SDK gets set to 10.5, it somehow tries to use the nonexistent 10.7 SDK) on my Snow Leopard test machine with Xcode 3.2.6. I can confirm the Lion build failure (it can't find OpenSSL) on my Lion test machine with Xcode 4.3.3.

[royliu@…]

Does r97647 fix the problem? I added detection of Xcode >= 4.1.

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

Use "xcode-select -print-path" in place of hardcoded /Developer.

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

On my system configures hardcoded /Developer path is a problem.

[chris.perl@…]

My system is the same as pixilla. The hard coded paths to /Developer were causing a problem for me. Patching patch-configure.diff with patch-emulators-virtualbox-find-sdk.diff​ has allowed me to build virtualbox on my lion 10.7.4 system with xcode 4.4.1.

[royliu@…]

Patch committed in r97817. I'm closing the ticket now. Will reopen the problems continue.

[royliu@…]

Well, it looks like the buildbot is still failing. Any ideas? What version of Mac OS X/Xcode is it running?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Last I heard, the Lion buildbot was running Xcode 4.3.2, and the Snow Leopard buildbot was running Xcode 3.2.6.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The version of clang in Xcode 4.3 ​does not honor the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable like newer versions of clang (and all versions of gcc that we've been using) do. So perhaps it's just a matter of getting the right -L flag in there.

Hi all,

I'm also having issues with getting Virtualbox 4.2.6 installed. My MacPorts is up-to-date (2.1.3). I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8, with XCode 4.0.2.

Any ideas on how to get Virtualbox to install? Is my combo of Mac OS X and XCode not supported?

Thanks in advance,

Kartik

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

@nxwolverine, as stated above, the version of clang in Xcode 4.3 (and earlier) does not support LIBRARY_PATH, and therefore, because the virtualbox build system has apparently not been programmed to use the correct -L flags, it cannot find the libraries it needs.

The workaround for those using Xcode 4.0 through 4.2 inclusive would be to force the use of the gcc-4.2 compiler:

sudo port clean virtualbox
sudo port install virtualbox configure.compiler=gcc-4.2

The workaround for those using Xcode 4.3.x (since it does not include gcc-4.2) would be to install the apple-gcc42 port and use that:

sudo port clean virtualbox
sudo port install apple-gcc42
sudo port install virtualbox configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2

Users of Xcode 4.4 and later are not affected because the included version of clang supports LIBRARY_PATH. Users of Xcode 3.x are not affected because on those versions of Xcode MacPorts will automatically use gcc and not clang.

Thanks for the explanation.

I tried out the XCode 4.0 - 4.2 tip you suggested, and the installation still fails. This time though, it's getting to the point of extracting Virtualbox.

I'm suspecting that it's because I didn't do a full clean of all of the dependencies from the initial install? Is this required?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what went wrong. Could you attach the main.log file?

So I run the clean command successfully, and then proceed with the install, using the explicit argument calling the GCC 4.2 compiler. The initial output I get looks promising:

--->  Computing dependencies for virtualbox
--->  Fetching archive for virtualbox
--->  Attempting to fetch virtualbox-4.2.6_0+vde2+vnc.darwin_10.i386.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/virtualbox

--->  Fetching distfiles for virtualbox
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for virtualbox
--->  Extracting virtualbox
--->  Applying patches to virtualbox
--->  Configuring virtualbox

And then it spits out the following error:

Error: org.macports.configure for port virtualbox returned: configure failure: command execution failed
Please see the log file for port virtualbox for details:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_emulators_virtualbox/virtualbox/main.log
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port virtualbox failed

I've attached the main.log file. Hope that helps to diagnose the problem.

Thanks for your help!

[whcordis@…]

This problem has reappeared for me on OS X 10.8.5 with XCode 5.0. I've attached the log for review.

[mallman (Michael Allman)]

This port is broken on systems with Xcode 5 because Xcode 5 doesn't come with OSX 10.7 SDK.

[mail@…]

I also get this issue after uninstalling my installed (and working) virtualbox 4.2.16 and trying to reinstall.

OSX 10.8.5, latest XCode (5.0.2) is installed in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
