ucblogo @6.2.2_1: opportunistic use of wxWidgets

[zzanderr]

Build fails on MacBook Pro Max M2, Sonoma 14.1.1, Xcode 15.1 Beta

ucblogo @6.2.2_1 _did_ build earlier on same computer running Ventura and a late version of Xcode 14

It builds fine on the buildbot workers Lion and up including Sonoma x86_64.

The log says the problem is:

wxMain.cpp:225:3: error: no matching function for call to 'strncpy'
  strncpy(path, executable_dir, maxlen);
  ^~~~~~~
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX14.sdk/usr/include/string.h:85:7: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'wxString' to 'const char *' for 2nd argument
char    *strncpy(char *__dst, const char *__src, size_t __n);
         ^

It's talking about wxWidgets things, but wxWidgets is not listed as a dependency. You must just happen to have had it installed and ucblogo is picking it up unintentionally:

checking for wx-config... /opt/local/bin/wx-config
checking for wxWidgets version >= 3.0.0... yes (version 3.0.5)
checking for wxWidgets static library... no
configure: using wx library

You should be able to work around it by cleaning ucblogo, deactivating whichever port provides /opt/local/bin/wx-config, then installing ucblogo, then reactivating the port that provides wx-config if desired.

The port should be fixed to not use wxWidgets even if it is installed.

I guess no port provides /opt/local/bin/wx-config; it's provided by running sudo port select wxwidgets. So the workaround would be to run sudo port select wxwidgets none, then clean and build ucblogo, then re-select your desired wxwidgets.

The build succeeded, even with wxWidgets-3.0 selected, on my Monterey x86_64 machine. The failure you saw on Sonoma arm64 was also reported at ​https://github.com/jrincayc/ucblogo-code/issues/160 by someone running Linux.

Ryan, ucblogo builds if I set wxWidgets to none.

Thanks for your help!
