Unable to build cmake on Lion

I am unable to build cmake on Lion.

Looks like I should have tried more systems, Michael :>

It would appear clang-3.4 is too old to build this. That would be unfortunate if so, as our fancy cmake bootstrapping will collapse -- but this was not unanticipated, and we have cmake-bootstrap if needed just for this reason, to get us to a modern clang that can build this.

I was planning on moving most of the macports-clang-* builds, at least up to clang-10 to cmake-bootstrap anyway for ease of dependencies, and maybe this will precipitate that happening.

[kencu (Ken)]

For the OP here, to get you built, you can do it manually. If you already have clang-9.0 installed, and you probably do, you can do this:

sudo port -v upgrade cmake configure.compiler=macports-clang-9.0

and that gets you back in gear while we sort this out.

[RobK88]

Ken,

I tried compiling cmake with clang-9.0 but cmake still failed to build.

I will attach the main.log for for this compile

main.log after compiling with clang-9.0

[RobK88]

I will also attach the cmake_bootstrap.log after using clang-9.0

Let me boot into Lion and see what happens for me ...

[kencu (Ken)]

On 10.6.8, the default clang-3.7 built this through for me:

$ port -v installed cmake
The following ports are currently installed:
  cmake @3.18.0_0+docs+gui+python37+qt4+universal (active) platform='darwin 10' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2020-07-20T19:52:22-0700'

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

built for me on 10.9:

% port -v installed cmake
The following ports are currently installed:
  cmake @3.18.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 13' archs='x86_64' date='2020-07-21T15:58:54-0400'

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

that's as far back as I can go right now

[kencu (Ken)]

This missing function asprintf_l

info:configure /opt/local/libexec/llvm-9.0/bin/../include/c++/v1/locale:1624:20: error: use of undeclared identifier 'asprintf_l'; did you mean 'vsprintf_l'?

seems to be guarded by this:

#if __DARWIN_C_LEVEL >= __DARWIN_C_FULL
int	 asprintf_l(char **, locale_t, const char *, ...)
        __DARWIN_LDBL_COMPAT2(asprintf_l) __printflike(3, 4);
int	 vasprintf_l(char **, locale_t, const char *, va_list)
        __DARWIN_LDBL_COMPAT2(vasprintf_l) __printflike(3, 0);
#endif

I'm not sure at this moment why this test is not passing to allow the definitions.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Related yet different: on 10.5 PPC the cmake 3.18.0 port builds cleanly and cmake executes cleanly in basic testing ... but ctest does not:

% ctest --version
ctest(10966) malloc: *** error for object 0xa01e13dc: Non-aligned pointer being freed
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
ctest(10966) malloc: *** error for object 0xa01e136c: Non-aligned pointer being freed
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
ctest version 3.18.0

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

I'll set the breakpoint & see if anything obvious comes up ....

[kencu (Ken)]

that ctest error is the same one we see with the other cmake bins when using libgcc 7.5.0+, if we don't wrap them in the legacysupport 1.1 wrapper script to force the dyld_library_path.

ctest probably wasn't added to the list of bins being wrapped in the portfile as it is rarely used...

[kencu (Ken)]

for lion, I'm wondering if _DARWIN_C_SOURCE is not defined for the build, but needs to be set.

[kencu (Ken)]

legacysupport.redirect_bins cmake

needs ctest added too. (and might as well do them all while we're at it...)

[kencu (Ken)]

buildbot shows 10.7 and 10.8 are failing, rest look ok

[kencu (Ken)]

here's the same build error with another port 60655

[kencu (Ken)]

adding this at least gets us bootstrapped. Probably best to wrap it in a 10.7-10.8 specific block:

configure.cxxflags-append -D_DARWIN_C_SOURCE

rest of the build ongoing...

[kencu (Ken)]

that was all it needed for Lion:

$ port -v installed cmake
The following ports are currently installed:
  cmake @3.18.0_0+universal (active) platform='darwin 11' archs='i386 x86_64' date='2020-07-22T07:59:09-0700'

[RobK88]

Thanks Ken. I tried your suggestion on my Mac running Lion without success.

Perhaps the "configure.cxxflags-append" only works inside a port file.

[kencu (Ken)]

yes, only in a portfile. that one doesn't work on the command line.

See <​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/7811/commits/0be5a030ecf10077b08f0e458a8e9827f3bb63a8> if you want it right away -- otherwise we'll commit this by the end of the day, most likely.

[kencu (Ken)]

officially, btw, it should be tagged onto configure.cppflags but that did not work when I tried it -- voodoo at work :>

[ken-cunningham-webuse]

In 0907b7fc4b79182f4dcd131364b6fb666694eee2/macports-ports (master):

cmake: use _DARWIN_C_SOURCE when needed

closes: #60885

[RobK88]

Thanks Ken for finding the fix!
