Can't install grass7

[dershow]

I just migrated to 10.15 and I can't get grass7 7.8.3_1 to install.

I see a lot of this sort of thing in the log:

:info:build dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/share/grass78/lib/libgrass_gis.7.8.dylib

:info:build   Reason: image not found

This suggests that the build system is not properly setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the path where the just-built-but-not-yet-intsalled libraries like libgrass_gis.7.8.dylib and libgrass_manage.7.8.dylib are located.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Vincent, though you're not the maintainer of grass7, you've done many commits in the port so maybe you want to have a look at this.

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

This is strange. What could possibly be the reason this doesn't work on 10.15? At present I have no 10.15 machine available to test on, but comparing log files with successful build on 10.14 I can see no difference. DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is the same.

By the way, is this a general problem for 10.15? Anyone succeeded installing grass7 on 10.15?

@dershow Just to be sure it doesn't relate to python (although log file doesn't imply so, see comments on commit:6c65924), what do port select --list python3 tell you?

Log of successful 10.14 build, for comparison.

[dershow]

$ port select --list python3
Available versions for python3:
	none (active)
	python36
	python37
	python38

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

@dershow And if you do sudo port select --set python3 python38, will it work?

[dershow]

I just tried and it still failed to build. I had thought that "select" wouldn't matter, as the build system should use the correct version of things. So, I really don't know what is different about this between 10.14 and 10.15. I also had it working with 10.14. I then moved did the full migration (so cleared out all the ports) and most of my ports have built and installed fine, but grass7 won't. And gqis3 and saga depend on it, so they won't build either.

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

The python part is a really new portfile thing introduced with previously mentioned commit. But your log file didn’t indicate that was the problem. Just to be sure, please check port select --list python as well.

[Veence (Vincent)]

The problem is this: g.gisenv (and other utilities) are called by the build system. It depends on the libgrass_gis library.

But when the lib grass_gis library is built, the linking process records the installation path (/opt/local/share/grass78/…) of the library within its header. Then g.gisenv is compiled and linked against it, and the linking process does not reference the real location of the libraries an executable is built against, but the location as specified in the library header (in this case, the installation path).

So when g.gisenv is called within the build process, it looks for /opt/local/share/grass78/libgrass_gis.dylib, rather than using the temporary place the library is stored in until the build finishes.

[Veence (Vincent)]

Could you please type "man ld" and tell me what's explained under the "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" paragraph? Maybe this has changed between 10.14 and 10.15. Thanks!

Yes, I realised that while comparing the log files. The strange thing seems to be that it worked this far -- even for 10.15!! See e.g. ​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.15_x86_64-builder/builds/29988.

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

The reason I still believe it might be related to the python is that the executables in build are all (I think) python files starting with #!/usr/bin/env python3. E.g. tools/thumbnails.py calls g.remove in library.

[Veence (Vincent)]

Sure, but the problem is with g.remove, not with thumbnails.py!

$ port select --list python

I don't see an explicit "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" paragraph from man ld. Although dyld appears a bunch.

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

Will sudo port select --set python python38 make any difference?

[Veence (Vincent)]

Sorry, it’s man dyld, precisely. My bad.

[dershow]

$man dyld
...

       DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
              This is a colon separated list of directories that contain  libraries.  The  dynamic
              linker  searches  these  directories  before  it  searches the default locations for
              libraries. It allows you to test new versions of existing libraries.

              For each dylib that a program uses, the dynamic linker looks for its  leaf  name  in
              each directory in DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.

              Use  the  -L option to otool(1) to discover the frameworks and shared libraries that
              the executable is linked against.

I just tried and it didn't seem to make a difference.

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

Thanks, ruled that one out then.

[Veence (Vincent)]

Ok, so DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to work the same way. Next thing, check the paths to see if they jibe.

[Veence (Vincent)]

When the builds stops, could you give us the contents of the /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gis_grass7/grass7/work/grass-7.8.3/dist.x86_64-apple-darwin19.4.0/lib directory with a ls -l?

[Veence (Vincent)]

Thanks. So the library is in the right place. This is really darn peculiar. Let me think further.

[Veence (Vincent)]

Try out this kludge:

Copy the contents of /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gis_grass7/grass7/work/grass-7.8.3/dist.x86_64-apple-darwin19.4.0/lib into /opt/local/share/grass78/lib

Build grass7. DON’T INSTALL IT. BUILD ONLY.

If the build works, then remove every file from /opt/local/share/grass78/lib.

Then install the port.

[dershow]

I needed a few minor changes from what you suggested. First, I had to create /opt/local/share/grass78 and /opt/local/share/grass78/lib as they didn't exist. The path to copy from was dist.x86_64-apple-darwin19.5.0 ( not 19.4....I assume because I'm on 10.15). Is this hardcoded somewhere and the cause of the problem?!?

I then was able to build, remove the share directory and install successfully!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Maybe Apple has introduced additional restrictions on the use of DYLD_ environment variables in 10.15. It had already introduced some restrictions on them in 10.11.

I don't know if this is relevant, but 10.15 introduced the hardened runtime, and it sounds like apps that use the hardened runtime have to request the com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables entitlement if they want DYLD_ environment variables to be able to affect them. Of course we're not talking about an app here; we're talking about a command line program being run as part of a build process. It seems unlikely that Apple would have altered how that works, since that would break tons of build systems. I don't know whether the hardened runtime could possibly be being used in this instance or what the criteria are for when it is used.

Replying to dershow:

darwin19.4.0 is macOS 10.15.4. darwin19.5.0 is macOS 10.15.5.

Is this hardcoded somewhere and the cause of the problem?!?

The build process undoubtedly determines your OS version and uses it in the directory paths.

[Veence (Vincent)]

Happy it worked with this kludge.

@Ryan: yeah, that sounds like it. While I agree security is important, I think Apple had gone a bit overboard lately, and the extra protection measures wrapped around the newest MacOS versions are more a hassle than a benefit. To be honest, that’s one of the reasons I didn't upgrade to 10.15 (besides it lacking any fundamental new functionality I might desire or need). I also have disabled CSR on my system: while I don’t recommend it to the layman, at least I’m free to wipe out some files or default Applications I don’t want (e.g.: Stocks) and I can install Dtrace probes about anywhere to monitor what's going on (as well as writing kexts). The default MacOS config really cripples the control users have on their machines.

Maybe disabling CSR would solve this problem. If your hypothesis is correct, Ryan, and MacOS begins to diverge from widely accepted UNIX conventions because of foisted restrictive "security" features on its users, then we shouldn't wonder seeing more and more mainstream Open Source developers drifting away from Apple.

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

This is indeed strange. Yet I'm not all convinced it is caused by OS changes alone though. Note, it did ​build on on macOS 10.15.4 or darwin/19.4.0 (the same as for the initial log file by dershow). Even if I have also been thinking of apple security measurements being the cause...

[Veence (Vincent)]

Is anyone aware of a successful build on 10.15?

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

Other case than the buildbot build I mentioned above, I don't know (at least not macports build of GRASS). Of course that can be behind a VM and perhaps work differently in this regard even if I doubt that would be the case (i.e. work differently).

Sidenote: presently the buildbots fail because of fail on dependency install of "spatialite +proj6" (anonymous login required). Any way to circumvent that?

[Veence (Vincent)]

I’m not sure the VMs work the same way. CSR is somehow enforced at the firmware level, so unless I’m mistaken it would probably have to be disabled on the physical machine running the VMs in order to allow the installation of the hypervisor. I might be wrong, though.

As for spatialite, unfortunately there is no way to fetch the latest CVS/SVN/whatever revision automatically. The last “automatically downloadable” version is the beta which I had packaged before, but that one is over one year old and does not have provisions for Proj6 API. Proj6 = latest CVS = manual fetch, there’s no real escape from this.

If there is a way to upload the tarball somewhere into the macports.org server and have the port use it instead of the original location, that might work. Maybe Ryan knows how to do that?

No, SIP was not disabled on the buildbot VM host machines. As far as I know, the buildbot guest machines perceive SIP as being enabled.

Thanks @ryandesign, something like that is what I hoped for!

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

Now I tested on a fresh macOS 10.15.5 install (not upgrade) with newly installed MacPorts and I couldn't reproduce this issue. Installation of grass7 went without complication.

[nilason (Nicklas Larsson)]

Is this issue still a problem, is it at all reproducible?!

I suggest this ticket may be closed.

The reporter replied via email: ​https://lists.macports.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2023-October/045224.html

I haven’t tried to install it in a long time. That ticket points to an old version of GRASS7 (which itself is considered legacy). The current version is 8.3 and there is a separate port for that. The GRASS web site includes a binary downloader (which I’ve used), but also points users to Macports, so it’s likely that a bunch of users are able to successfully build now.

​https://grass.osgeo.org/download/mac/

So, I would agree with closing the ticket.
