Building with cmake on Xcode 9: Symbol not found: _utimensat

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I'm seeing a build error with glfw-devel. Maybe related to the recent cmake update?

Did you update to Xcode 9.0? Which cmake is installed (cmake or cmake-devel)? cmake-devel works for me, using Xcode 9.0.

See cmake upstream: ​https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/17101

and

libarchive upstream: ​https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/953

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I did install Xcode 9.0. Using only cmake however. I will install cmake-devel now and try with that. Thanks for the suggestion!

Note the problem will only appear if you rebuild libarchive/cmake from source after installing Xcode 9 with the macOS 10.13 SDK.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I confirm that using cmake-devel works! Note that I am on 10.12 (Sierra) with Xcode 9.0.

Feel free to close this ticket.

Replying to raimue:

Note the problem will only appear if you rebuild libarchive/cmake from source after installing Xcode 9 with the macOS 10.13 SDK.

I find it on 10.12 when using CMake 3.9.2 and Xcode 9.0; not cmake-devel 20170919 though. Nothing else changed, just moved from cmake-devel to cmake. I'm updating cmake to 3.9.3 (just released a little bit ago) to see if that fixes the issue (at least for me). I'm betting it will, since the fixes were pushed to it not long ago & should have been in cmake-devel for a while.

[raimue (Rainer Müller)]

The issue only occurs if cmake was built with Xcode 9 on macOS 10.12. If you get a binary archive from the buildbots, they have been built with Xcode 8 and they will not show this problem.

I doubt cmake 3.9.3 will resolve this, as the merge requests in the ​cmake upstream ticket have not been merged yet. Also, we are using the external libarchive and not the one bundled with cmake. As I understand this bug we will need to ​patch libarchive to resolve it completely.

Please mark other reports for the same issue in other ports using cmake as duplicate of this one as it has the most informative discussion.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Duplicate of #54875.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Oops. Didn't see the title renaming. My bad. I'm working on patches right now.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Has duplicate #54876.

In 14ca1ce6b3014ab09bf948bf5152e611a95d8696/macports-ports:

libarchive and cmake: add temporary patch to fix building using Xcode 9.0

addresses MacPorts ticket: #54875
see also: ​https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/17101
and: ​https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/953

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Done. glfw-devel and gr-lora (from #54876) now build cleanly for me using the latest cmake. Yay!

I'm going to close this ticket as fixed, but if other ports come up with this issue then please list them here & with the log file.

[tobypeterson]

cmake-devel as well?

[tobypeterson]

Ah, cmake-devel is a subport, not a separate port.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Yup. Both cmake and cmake-devel are covered & both work now in my testing.
