macOS bazel build fail

Open Kidebazelno opened this issue 4 months ago • 22 comments

I follow the instructions cloning into this repo and run bazel build @heir//tools:heir-opt, but I get this error. I've tried bazel build @heir//tools:heir-opt --//:enable_yosys=false in earlier issue but it has the same error. Not sure what to do next.

Starting local Bazel server (8.3.1) and connecting to it...

I'm using m4 chip, Darwin Kernel Version 24.6.0

This error occurs when you don't have a full xcode installation on your machine. For whatever reason, the bazel infrastructure for MacOS requires this. The command-line tools alone do not suffice.

Cf. https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/25728. I might be able to find a workaround

j2kun avatar Sep 03 '25 17:09 j2kun

As an experiment, you could try patching this PR and rebuilding: https://github.com/google/heir/pull/2181

Hello, I've installed Xcode fully and tried out both the PR and the newest main content, but it both shows error about Xcode, this is the error log. Thank you!

So I spend some time today tracking down, why my build fails. I got this error:

clang: error: invalid linker name in argument '-fuse-ld=ld64.lld:'

First I thought that it might have to do with some updates on my machine, but it turns out it has to do with #2181. I can build the commit before #2181 was merged, but everything after results in me having issues with the linker

@Kidebazelno can you run the build command like so: bazel build //tools:heir-opt --sandbox_debug --verbose_failures and post the output?

kragall avatar Sep 11 '25 16:09 kragall

invalid linker name in argument '-fuse-ld=ld64.lld:'

The trailing colon looks like a typo in a .bazelrc, maybe on your system (could be in $HOME/.bazelrc?). In the checked-in repo, for example, we have build:linux --linkopt="-fuse-ld=lld" (no trailing colon) which requires the dev to install lld, but we have no specification for the linker on macos.

In particular, on my personal MacOS system:

$ which ld64.lld
/opt/homebrew/bin/ld64.lld

$ which lld
/opt/homebrew/bin/lld

And lld appears to forward to ld64.lld.

You could try adding build:macos --linkopt="-fuse-ld=lld" or build:macos --linkopt="-fuse-ld=ld64.lld"

Hello, I've installed Xcode fully and tried out both the PR and the newest main content, but it both shows error about Xcode, this is the error log. Thank you!

If you've installed XCode then your toolchain has changed, and the bazel cache is probably stale and needs manually cleaning. Try bazel clean --expunge and rebuild.

j2kun avatar Sep 11 '25 17:09 j2kun

Reading a few other places, you may also find the command bazel fetch --configure --force useful, which re-runs the parts of the compiler toolchain setup that detects external dependencies (like the include headers provided by the macos SDK)

Cf. https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/21718#issuecomment-2475285415

I tried bazel fetch --configure --force and bazel clean --expunge, and run bazel build //tools:heir-opt --sandbox_debug --verbose_failures, they both show this error message:

I'm also on a M4 Mac and I can get heir to build, with the caveat listed in #2213.

I have Xcode installed in version 15.5. You can check your version with this:

> xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX15.5.sdk
> xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-version
15.5

I also installed llvm and lld via homebrew. But I don't remember if installing llvm like this was necessary at some point. lld is required though. Did you make sure, your system fulfills the pre-requisites listed here: https://heir.dev/docs/getting_started/

kragall avatar Sep 12 '25 14:09 kragall

LLVM should not be required as a system dependency, since we build it from scratch in the project. If it is for some reason, that'd be a bug for me to fix.

j2kun avatar Sep 12 '25 15:09 j2kun

Oh I thought I had lld on my computer... After install via brew, it shows new error:

I'm not sure if the miss match of clang and lld may cause some error? (I also make sure I actually fulfill the prerequisites this time, thank you for pointing it out) Also, the error in the previous one still exists after I bazel clean it

Kidebazelno avatar Sep 12 '25 15:09 Kidebazelno

Did you bazel clean --expunge or just do bazel clean? I'm not sure if it is necessary, but could you try using --expunge now and then build again?

kragall avatar Sep 15 '25 12:09 kragall

I use bazel clean --expunge, and after building it shows one of the two error messages above, both complaining about demangle error in LLVM.

Kidebazelno avatar Sep 15 '25 12:09 Kidebazelno

@Kidebazelno I suspect it's using a homebrew-installed clang instead of apple clang, despite your shell's clang correctly pointing to apple clang.

Can you try pasting the output of bazel cquery --output=starlark --starlark:expr="str(providers(target))" @bazel_tools//tools/cpp:current_cc_toolchain | sed 's/,/\n/g' into a gist and link it here? You should see some lines like

 "ld": "/usr/bin/ld"
 "cpp": "/usr/bin/cpp"
 "gcc": "/usr/lib/llvm-19/bin/clang"

and

 built_in_include_directories = ["/usr/lib/llvm-19/lib/clang/19/include"
 "/usr/local/include"
 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu"
 "/usr/include"

After having had issues with the linker myself #2213 I found out that you should not have lld installed via homebrew on your Mac when trying to build HEIR.

Which version of Xcode do you have installed (see https://xcodereleases.com)? I'm still on 16.4. I do avoid updating Xcode because I had issues with the new versions and HEIR in the past

kragall avatar Sep 24 '25 15:09 kragall

My Xcode is 26.0, so should I downgrade it and brew uninstall lld?

Kidebazelno avatar Sep 26 '25 16:09 Kidebazelno

I would indeed try removing lld. I had previously tested my build on xcode 16.4, but I am currently upgrading to 26.1 so I can test that newer version.

j2kun avatar Sep 27 '25 03:09 j2kun

I was able to build with xcode 26.1, though I did learn that, because I have rust installed on my machine, it comes with llvm 20
