qt5-qtcreator @6.0.2_1: unexpected error messages about macosx12 SDK

[jeremy-murphy (Jeremy W. Murphy)]

During the Configuring stage, I get this 'error':

xcodebuild: error: SDK "macosx12" cannot be located.
xcrun: error: sh -c '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -sdk macosx12 -find ld 2> /dev/null' failed with exit code 16384: (null) (errno=No such file or directory)
xcrun: error: unable to find utility "ld", not a developer tool or in PATH

which is understandable since this is Monterey 12.3, and the relevant output from xcodebuild -showsdks is:

macOS SDKs:
	macOS 12.3                    	-sdk macosx12.3

It actually builds and installs successfully, so evidently it finds ld another way.

[dl8dtl (Jörg Wunsch)]

Same error message here, MacOS 12.3.1 on M1 CPU. However, here it's during the final link, so it doesn't build at all.

[dl8dtl (Jörg Wunsch)]

Addition:

% /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -showsdks
DriverKit SDKs:
        DriverKit 21.4                  -sdk driverkit21.4

iOS SDKs:
        iOS 15.4                        -sdk iphoneos15.4

iOS Simulator SDKs:
        Simulator - iOS 15.4            -sdk iphonesimulator15.4

macOS SDKs:
        macOS 12.3                      -sdk macosx12.3

tvOS SDKs:
        tvOS 15.4                       -sdk appletvos15.4

tvOS Simulator SDKs:
        Simulator - tvOS 15.4           -sdk appletvsimulator15.4

watchOS SDKs:
        watchOS 8.5                     -sdk watchos8.5

watchOS Simulator SDKs:
        Simulator - watchOS 8.5         -sdk watchsimulator8.5

[dl8dtl (Jörg Wunsch)]

Tried to download older SDKs (as part of the commandline tools): there is no such thing as a macosx12 SDK, only macosx12.0.

Could you please post your main.log?

[kencu (Ken)]

adding:

use_xcode yes

to the portfile usually fixes this

qt5-qtcreator already has use_xcode yes (qt5-qtcreator-docs does not—I’m not aware whether it should).

[kencu (Ken)]

Ah, I should have checked first. Thanks, Christopher.

actool crashes due to plugin AssetCatalogCocoaTouchKit failing to load. The error message suggests reinstalling the bundle for it; I’m not aware how to do that aside from reinstalling Xcode entirely or if that will actually help, but since Xcode 13.4 is now out you may as well update. This also seems separate from the issue in this ticket’s description, and not a problem during linking.

[kencu (Ken)]

I believe the "error" in this original ticket is not an error at all. I suspect it's just the way the code was written here in the qmake5 portgroup:

​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/81fa4a06d2d1d419029bf9714b0558819cd164ea/_resources/port1.0/group/qmake5-1.0.tcl#L58

as per this commit:

​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/9887e90d69f4265f9056cddc45e41551d7400235#commitcomment-49824261

The code is supposed to generate an error if the specific SDK can't be found, and as written is meant to then fall back to a generic sdk named "macosx".

So, short answer -- there is nothing to fix here, for the original ticket at least, other than find a way to prevent the error from being printed to the screen that confuses people.

What other errors might be causing people to have build issues remain to be discovered, I suppose. My build of qt5-qtcreator on Monterey 12.3.1 is still going on.

Thanks, you are right. I have been fooled by the obvious "ld" message.

I removed and reinstalled XCode, the problem was still there. I started XCode once manually, and it told me that it needs to install further components. This seems to have been the key, afterwards the build went fine (the "ld" message is still there, as in the original report here).

Thanks for your help, I've been close to file a new ticket …
