Build failing on macOS Sierra 10.12

[gustavo84]

Sorry yesterday, I got confused describing the error.

Command cmake .. -DBUILDJAVA=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ finished and run ok:

Command "make" give this error:

For anyone following this thread, the following seems to be the solution:

1. In tinyb/api/tinyb/BluetoothObject.hpp add: #include #include #include

Once I'd done the above, it compiled, but failed with a linking error: [ 32%] Linking CXX shared library libtinyb.dylib ld: library not found for -lintl clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make[2]: *** [src/libtinyb.0.5.0-8-g6e580f4.0.5.0-8-g6e580f4.0.5.0-8-g6e580f4.dylib] Error 1 make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/tinyb.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2

2. Fixing the above required forcing the symlinking of gettext which contains the intl library: brew install gettext brew link --force gettext

I've now trying to execute the example code: java -cp /usr/local/lib/../lib/java/tinyb.jar:examples/java/HelloTinyB.jar -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib/ HelloTinyB xxx

But I get the error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Error getting object manager client: Could not connect: No such file or directory at tinyb.BluetoothManager.init(Native Method) at tinyb.BluetoothManager.(BluetoothManager.java:207) at tinyb.BluetoothManager.getBluetoothManager(BluetoothManager.java:217) at HelloTinyB.main(HelloTinyB.java:109)

[I use the MAC address of my BT device above]

Not sure if it is related to needing the BlueZ + GATT stack which is maybe not possible in Mac OSX which has its own stack?

[petreeftime]

I have already answered here: #83 and #72. cmake interprets .. as path and will either ignore everything after it or it also interprets it as path. You need to run cmake -DBUILDJAVA=ON -std=c++11 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ .., path att the end. However, if you want to run this library on OSX, it won't work since it depends on BlueZ, which is Linux only, and if you want to run on Linux, you will need to cross-compile and that will be quite difficult. Just get a Linux VM.

I thought it was possible to work on mac. I was wrong. ¿And what alternatives are possible, apart from a Linux virtual machine and apart from driver ble nordic?

Thanks a lot

[adamdossa]

Not sure there are many options - my googling seems to indicate its a linux VM or you're stuck with Obj-C / using Apples stack.

I do not understand how gatt does not have a common implementation for all three operating systems like serial port
