qt5-mac-devel build fails on OS X 10.6.8

Open maximumspatium opened this issue 10 years ago • 38 comments

Hello and thank you for working on the additional QT5 ports!

I've just tried to build the qt5-mac-devel port using your portfiles. Unfortunately, it fails on the patching step. It looks like an attempt to apply QT 5.4.2 to 5.3.2 sources. It doesn't work for all files because the sources diverge too much.

The following patches break the build: https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/blob/master/aqua/qt5-mac-devel/files/patch-qFatal-no-abort.diff https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/blob/master/aqua/qt5-mac-devel/files/patch-improve-fontweight-support5.diff

The first one contains a tiny difference that I just fixed manually. But the second one is much bigger so I don't know how to fix it.

Would you kindly help me to fix that issue? It looks like you've found a possibility to build Qt5 in 10.6.8 without XCode. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I really need QT5 in 10.6.8 because I currently cannot upgrade my OS because I heavily depend on an older software package that isn't available in >= 10.7.

Thank you in advance! Best regards Max

Can you try the latest commit? You're right that I don't always test new patches with the legacy Qt version, my bad. I've done so now, but only up to the patching step. I haven't checked whether the font weight improvement patch introduces regressions (compile-time or otherwise), ditto for the qFatal patch. So please check back when this turns out to be the case!

It looks like you've found a possibility to build Qt5 in 10.6.8 without XCode.

Yes and no: it doesn't use the compilers from Xcode, but I reckon you still need to have Xcode installed.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I really need QT5 in 10.6.8 because I currently cannot upgrade my OS because I heavily depend on an older software package that isn't available in >= 10.7.

Note that if you just want to have a recent Qt version regardless of how (or maybe preferably NOT through MacPorts), there is also a trick. Qt 5.4 doesn't build on OS X 10.6, but that's all: it will work just fine and all software I tried built just fine with it. So if you have the possibility to make a separate (external) boot disk or boot partition and upgrade that to a more recent OS, you can use Qt's official installer to install to wherever you want Qt to live, and then copy that directory to your 10.6 boot disk.

Have you considered setting up a 10.6 ("Server") VM in which you can then run that older software? I've found it works fine even with my PPC versions of Adobe Illustrator and InDesign ...

Cheers, R.

Hello René,

thank you very much for looking into the issue. I've just tried the latest commit. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. Here a small excerpt from the build log:

Yes and no: it doesn't use the compilers from Xcode, but I reckon you still need to have Xcode installed.

For what purpose XCode is required then?

Note that if you just want to have a recent Qt version regardless of how (or maybe preferably NOT through MacPorts), there is also a trick. Qt 5.4 doesn't build on OS X 10.6, but that's all: it will work just fine and all software I tried built just fine with it.

If Qt5.4 does work fine on 10.6, it won't use any specific >= 10.7 API. Therefore, it should be possible to get it built under 10.6 too, right?

So if you have the possibility to make a separate (external) boot disk or boot partition and upgrade that to a more recent OS, you can use Qt's official installer to install to wherever you want Qt to live, and then copy that directory to your 10.6 boot disk.

This is something I could give a try. Does Qt install any symlinks or additional tools to /usr/lib/bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local etc? I need to compile a software package that requires C++11 and Qt 5.3 or above so I need at least the proper header files...

Many thanks once again! Best regards Max

To have the system headerfiles and the rest of the SDKs, and maybe other things from the toolchain.

It's more complicated than that. I don't recall the exact details, but Qt 5.4+ will not build on OS X 10.6 . Even getting 5.3.2 to build was a challenge!

No, it installs everything where you tell it to, and then modifies the frameworks, config files and qmake so that they function from there. Be aware though that C++11 support can be flaky/incomplete on 10.6, even when using a recent clang version. I myself found the C++11 support in MacPorts' gcc-4.9 more reliable, but nowadays it is possible to install libc++ for use with MacPorts clang. There's a whole recipe on how to do that on the MacPorts site. If that interests you, you'll probably want to do it before you build Qt!

Hello René,

thank you for the patches. I've already moved to the next step - Building. This is a good news although the build still fails. This command breaks the build:

It looks like Macport's own ICU @55.1_0 couldn't be found.

Moreover, I noticed that the command above still invokes /usr/bin/clang which is the WRONG ancient compiler by Apple. I have already mp-clang-3.5 with full C++11 support installed and activated.

Below the Qt 5.3.2 configuration extracted from the recent build log:

It cleanly shows that C++11 has been disabled which is BAD because it indicates that Clang 3.5 from Macports hasn't been recognized. ICU is there but the ancient Apple compiler 3.0 doesn't recognize it for some unknown reason.

What do you think? Many thanks in advance! Best regards Max

Do you have /opt/local/bin/clang and /opt/local/bin/clang++ and if so, where do they point to?

The ucal.h header not found issue rings a bell, but a distant one.

What do you think?

Does your build log show anything related to the compiler selection process in the Portfile? I remember it wasn't easy at all to get Qt's build system to accept anything but the system compiler, and it's not impossible that my hack isn't as robust as I thought. Looks like I'm going to have to fire up my 10.6 VM, but I may not be able to do that for a few more days... I'll see if I can take care of this otherwise tomorrow (force the legacy variant to use a MacPorts compiler).

Cheers, Ren�

/opt/local/bin/clang points to /opt/local/bin/clang-mp-3.5 /opt/local/bin/clang++points to /opt/local/bin/clang++-mp-3.5

/opt/local/bin/clang --version

Does your build log show anything related to the compiler selection process in the Portfile?

Yes, the following message will be displayed:

:msg:patch Everything is set up to use the Qt-specific compiler symlink /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_site-ports_aqua_qt5-mac-devel/qt5-mac-devel/work/build/qtbase/bin/clang++ but the build system will probably resolve the actual compiler to which this link points (/opt/local/bin/clang++-mp-3.5). That is of no consequence; future Qt5 ports will use the Qt compiler in /opt/local/libexec/qt5-mac/bin.

The configure step DOES indeed use the above mentioned compiler (clang 3.5.2). But the build still falls back to the system compiler (Apple Clang 3.0).

What I don't understand is why does C++11 test fail? I've already installed libcxx and libcxxabi and rebased the whole Macports system to libc++ as described here: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems

The Qt build log clearly shows that libc++ couldn't be found:

Does it all mean that I end up having a broken Clang 3.5.2 installation?

Thank you a lot for all the patience with my old system! Best regards Max

I've just conducted two simple tests:

  1. tried to compile C++11 test (c++11.cpp) manually using the following two commands:

clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++ c++11.cpp -o c++11.o <----- passed without issues

The next one (linking) doesn't work:

clang++ -v -Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -stdlib=libc++ -o c++11 c++11.o

clang version 3.5.2 (tags/RELEASE_352/final) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 Thread model: posix "/opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.5/bin/ld" -demangle -dynamic -arch x86_64 -macosx_version_min 10.6.0 -o c++11 -lcrt1.10.6.o -syslibroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk c++11.o -lc++ -lSystem /opt/local/libexec/llvm-3.5/bin/../lib/clang/3.5.2/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.osx.a ld: library not found for -lc++ clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

  1. I've tried to build the same source with Clang 3.4 but it doesn't work either showing the same error. The reason for this failure is opaque to me.

Could you kindly help? Is it my fault? Everything looks like a broken Clang installation, does it?

Thousands thanks in advance and sorry for being off-topic! Max

I have no experience at all with using libc++ on OS X 10.6.8 but there are a few things you have to know:

  • specifying an SDK may change the header and library search paths, which can lead to unexpected effects when linking libraries that are not in one of the official system locations. That should be less the case (or not at all) when using the 10.6 SDK on OS X 10.6.
  • I think that if you followed the MacPorts guidelines for setting up libc++ on 10.6 (did you), your libc++.dylib lives under /opt/local/lib . That is not a standard path that the linker searches, so a priori the error message is correct.

Try the link with -L/opt/local/lib, and check if there is a difference when you leave out the -Wl,-syslibroot arguments.

libc++.dylib has been installed to /usr/lib - the same location where libstdc++ lives. The latter works fine while the former doesn't. I think I'll file a bug ticket for the clang port...

Did you try without the sysroot SDK argument? If you did and still get the not found error it looks like you ran into a clang bug indeed. It might be useful to include a link to this exchange when you file a ticket. BTW, is clang 3.6 available for OS X 10.6 ?

I'm still looking at the build failure and trying to get the compiler selection "just right".

Yes, I've tried without sysroot/SDK argument with -L/usr/libadded. It works indeed. Awesome, thank you!

Great! Thanks a lot!

Did you try without the sysroot SDK argument? If you did and still get the not found error it looks like you ran into a clang bug indeed.

Yes, I've tried without sysroot/SDK argument with -L/usr/libadded. It works indeed. Awesome, thank you!

Erm, you shouldn't have to add -L/usr/lib ...

I think I'm making progress. I'm working with qt5-mac-devel-x11 (which in facts builds all of qtbase, but doesn't even extract all the rest of Qt so is much leaner for testing). It appears to be building now, using my links to the selected clang compilers in /opt/local/bin . Your mileage may still vary though because I'm using clang-mp-3.6 and doing this under 10.9.5 .

This shouldn't take much more than 30min, after which I'll push the new port to git.

You're right - it's not required indeed :))

OK, so there's no bug in macports-clang. Remember how I said that an SDK selection can do funny things? You just witnessed one; libc++ isn't part of the 10.6 SDK, so even if you install it into the system you still cannot access it through the official 10.6 SDK. Think of it as a way to make sure that you target only official, stock libraries.

I've push a new commit, please try it and let me know how it goes.

I got the same error regarding ICU. The configure step uses Macports' clang whereas the buld step persistently switches to system clang (/usr/bin/clang). Is it possible that something hasn't been patched correctly?

I'm sorry to take up so much of your time fighting with a legacy configuration. Should we give up or try once again?

P.S.: I could try some things out if you'd give me some pointers...

From the very first file that is built?

I can try to reproduce your issue in my 10.6 VM, but as I said I won't be able to do that the next few days. Meanwhile, you can try this

%> port clean qt5-mac-devel %> port configure qt5-mac-devel %> fgrep /usr/bin/clang -R port work qt5-mac-devel/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.2 %> fgrep /usr/bin/clang -R port work qt5-mac-devel/build

both commands should not return any hits, so let me know what you find. If you get no results, you can still try this:

%> fgrep clang -R port work qt5-mac-devel/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.2 | fgrep -v bin/clang %> fgrep clang -R port work qt5-mac-devel/build | fgrep -v bin/clang

(those search in a convoluted way for clang references that are not in a bin directory, a priori that should be "clang" without any path info at all in your case.)

R.

RJVB avatar Sep 18 '15 21:09 RJVB

I did everything exactly as you said (clean followed by configure followed by fgrep). The search has revealed several hardcoded _/usr/bin/clang_.

See, this helped. Turns out that MacPorts has a habit of resetting certain things to what it thinks should be the correct value, and of course that doesn't become apparent if you're working per phase like I usually do. I've made some changes that should reset those things back to what I think is correct.

Hello René,

congratulations! We've made a huge progress with Qt 5.3.2! It builds now just well although the build doesn't succeed for the time being. But first the good news:

  • the right compiler is being used
  • several CLI tools (moc, qlalr, qmake, rcc, uic, qdoc) have been built sucessfully so far

The build currently chokes on /qtbase/src/widgets/dialogs/qfontdialog.cpp. It looks like something went wrong with patching because the source file contains forbidden characters:

Thank you for the awesome job! Best regards Max

AAargh :) No need to send me the file, I get the same patch errors. I was half expecting some errors with the font patch, but not stupid ones like a stray +. Oh well...

Thank you for the awesome job!

Awesome would have been if it built without this whole trial-and-error process!

Hi again,

OK, it looks like this one was easy; I committed a corrected patch. R.

RJVB avatar Sep 19 '15 17:09 RJVB

René,

building the Qt 5.3.2 with the latest patches (rev ae2f83b0e22375b2e43b847cef050d5d66511209) succeed. So we moved a step further. Great news, isn't?

Installation chokes on the "Staging into destroot" step with the following error:

:info:destroot ---> Patching qt5: s|${developer_dir}|/Developer|g :debug:destroot Executing reinplace: /usr/bin/sed {s|${developer_dir}|/Developer|g} < /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_site-ports_aqua_qt5-mac-devel/qt5-mac-devel/work/destroot/opt/local/etc/select/qt/qt5 >@ file10 2>@stderr :debug:destroot Executing proc-post-org.macports.destroot-destroot-1 :error:destroot org.macports.destroot for port qt5-mac-devel returned: can't read "qt_cmake_module_dir": no such variable :debug:destroot Error code: NONE :debug:destroot Backtrace: can't read "qt_cmake_module_dir": no such variable

Ah ... in this case my fault is just trying to support the flaky upstream Qt5 portgroup rather than imposing my own. I'll be interested to know where the .cmake files are going to be installed in the end!

To save you time: use port's -o argument (e.g. sudo port -o install qt5-mac-devel): this will save you from having to do the whole build all over again. But do this before:

%> sudo rm -rf port work qt5-mac-devel/destroot

Executed as you said: first sudo rm... and then sudo port -o install. Macports restarts with the "Staging into destroot" and fails soon with can't read "qt_cmake_module_dir": no such variable. It seems I have to delete the whole installation and start over again. Argggh...
