The error seems to be

:info:build make[2]: write error

I am unable to reproduce this.
Depending what is causing the write error, this might be an issue with the machine you are using to build.
Are there reasons to think that might be the case?

[kencu (Ken)]

qt5-qtcreator is broken for me on 10.13 as well, with the error seen in 58424. It seems likely the recent qbs upgrade broke it.

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

Depending what is causing the write error, this might be an issue with the machine you are using to build. Are there reasons to think that might be the case?

None, AFAIK.

This failure is consistent on four different machines, some under corporate management, and some aren't. The commonalities between them are: MacOS Mojave 10.14.4, Xcode-10.2.1, Macports-2.5.4 (latest stable).

"write error" could be due to permissions...?

Also, I was unable to find qtprofilesetup.h anywhere on my machines (another ticket mentions it).

[kencu (Ken)]

There is a note in the qt5-qtcreator Portfile now that parallel building was previously disabled to avoid a make write error so it seems possible that this error has in fact been seen before.

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

...so it seems possible that this error has in fact been seen before

Do you know if parallel building is still disabled? The build takes a long time before it fails, but the following seems to suggest it builds in parallel:

(Needless to say, this is the only build currently running on that machine)

Also, this port seems to be building Botan - but it doesn't list the version. I have botan @1.10.17_2 (active) installed by Macports, and Botan-2.11.0 that I maintain a fork of. They should not clash (separated by include directories and library names, but still...

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

I don't know what it is building after Qt Creator.app has been built, and whether it would re-do any of this work when it's time to "stageroot" and actually install... But there is an executable now.

New log

[kencu (Ken)]

If you're no longer getting that make write error, then just go to the other ticket where that qbs issue is being worked on. It's fixed by upgrading to qtcreator 4.9, which is easy, but Marcus is probably just testing it out on all the different systems that need it.

So - we can close this "make write error" ticket, mouse?

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

I have several machines, and qbs problem showed up only once on one machines in my latest attempt to build. So I don't know how consistent it's likely to be. We can probably close this one - and if I get the same problem again, I'll re-open or create a new one.

Thanks

Sorry, the peace did not last long. Attempt to upgrade qt5-qtcreator to 4.9.0 on one of my machines brought that write error back:

hmmm -- in your last log...

hmmm -- in your last log... ...sh: cannot create temp file for here document: Operation not permitted, like 1373.

I cannot figure what directory it talks about. In the vicinity of that error message I see:

Ownership and access rights appear good.

And despite its claims, it *did* create Qt Creator binary as -o ../../bin/Qt\ Creator.app/Contents/MacOS/Qt\ Creator:

Also, build succeeded on another machine. Here's the difference. On the "succeeding" machine:

$ port installed | grep qt5
  cmake @3.14.3_0+gui+qt5 (active)
  qt5-qtbase @5.12.3_0+openssl (active)
  qt5-qtcreator @4.9.0_0 (active)
  qt5-qtdeclarative @5.12.3_0 (active)
  qt5-qtgraphicaleffects @5.12.3_0 (active)
  qt5-qtmacextras @5.12.3_0 (active)
  qt5-qtquickcontrols @5.12.3_0 (active)
  qt5-qtscript @5.12.3_0 (active)
  qt5-qtsvg @5.12.3_0 (active)

  qt5-qtxmlpatterns @5.12.3_0 (active)
$ port installed | grep qt5 | wc -l
      11
$ 

On the "failing" (consistently) machine:

$ port installed | grep qt5
  cmake @3.14.3_0+gui+qt5 (active)
  qt5-qtbase @5.12.3_0+openssl (active)
  qt5-qtdeclarative @5.12.3_0 (active)

  qt5-qtxmlpatterns @5.12.3_0 (active)
$ port installed | grep qt5 | wc -l
      14
$ 

Overall, the "failing" machine has about 60 ports more installed.

[kencu (Ken)]

if you have one machine that fails consistently, and it's the only machine that does so, go into the build directory of macports and nuke it completely -- very carefully though -- and then try again:

/opt/local/var/macports/build

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

if you have one machine that fails consistently, and it's the only machine that does so

I do not know yet. One machine succeeded, another one failed. On the failing one I did cd /opt/local/....<wherever that port source is>; sudo bash; make all install, and it's still running. I have at least three more machines that need to go through this exercise later on.

nuke it completely -- very carefully though --

Could you please be more specific: nuke what, and more importantly - exactly how? Like, do I need to be in a specific directory for nuking? For building? If you could show the actual commands, it would be outstanding.

[kencu (Ken)]

well ... who knows what going into the source directory any running make all install might get you. But it is extremely unlikely that would match what sudo port build would get you. I couldn't recommend doing that, at least not if you're working with MacPorts...

to clean up the build directory, just cd into /opt/local/var/macports/build and sudo rm -rf *.*.

but be very careful or disaster.

[kencu (Ken)]

be careful with that, if you do it. practice 10 times. measure twice, cut once, etc, etc.

do not && those commands.

[kencu (Ken)]

actually...maybe that's too aggressive to recommend. If it doesn't seem obvious to you, don't do it. I can't shoulder the responsibility if you erase the photos of your child's first steps by accident...

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

Thanks!

sudo rm -rf *.*

Do I need to remove all the existing builds? Or can I constrain myself to removing only specific ones (like qt5-qtcreator)?

By "try again" you mean sudo port install qt5-qtcreator, or something else? Sorry for being so pedantic, but I want to make sure I'll be doing the right thing. ;-)

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

If it doesn't seem obvious to you, don't do it

Well, some things do seem obvious (more or less ;), but not all of them.

I am confident enough to avoid erasing something outside of /opt/local/var/macports/build, but it is not obvious to me whether there is something in that directory that I may not want to erase, or what consequences (if any) erasure of those things would have.

Perhaps I should do sudo port clean --all before going into that directory and doing surgery there?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

If a heredoc can't be created that probably means the ownership or permissions on /tmp or your $TMPDIR are wrong.

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

If a heredoc can't be created that probably means the ownership or permissions on /tmp or your $TMPDIR are wrong.

I hear you, but /tmp permissions are "drwxrwxrwt" owned by "root wheel". I do not set TMPDIR explicitly, but that env var does appear to be set to /var/folders/c6/lnc_....... (truly long random crap) with permissions "drwx------" owned by me, with extended attribute "rootless". If that's wrong - what should it be set to?

Good news: on one machine (the biggest/fastest) rebuild from the sources succeeded, on other machines (where it used to fail) it just pulled the pre-built binary.

So, this ticket is resolved by Macports providing pre-compiled binary of qt5-qtcreator.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Replying to mouse07410:

If a heredoc can't be created that probably means the ownership or permissions on /tmp or your $TMPDIR are wrong.

I hear you, but /tmp permissions are "drwxrwxrwt" owned by "root wheel".

Normally /tmp is a symlink to /private/tmp, is that the case for you or are those the permissions on /tmp itself? What about /var/tmp (I'm not sure which one bash uses)? TMPDIR is actually probably not relevant since MacPorts sets it to something inside $workpath.

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

Normally /tmp is a symlink to /private/tmp, is that the case for you

Yes it is.

What about /var/tmp

$ ll -d /var/tmp
drwxrwxrwt  9 root  wheel  288 May  6 10:47 /var/tmp/

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

I am sorry, but I do not see a way forward on this ticket.
I cannot reproduce the error.
Unless we can come up with a new angle to explore, we might have to close this ticket as "works for me."

[mouse07410 (Mouse)]

Marcus, yes - let us close this ticket. Everything at this point seems to work. If it breaks again, we'll just create a new one.
