.dmg install for rakudo* 2016.10 on Mac OS X fails on El Capitan #14

Closed dmaestro closed 8 years ago

dmaestro commented 8 years ago

Downloading from rakudo.org/downloads/star the following: rakudo-star-2016.10.dmg 23-Oct-2016 10:39 9.3M

I had previously installed rakudo-star-2016.04 from .dmg and the install was flawless. Installing the above image resulted in the following errors, when starting perl6:

$ /Applications/Rakudo/bin/perl6 -v
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _clock_gettime
  Referenced from: /Applications/Rakudo/lib/libmoar.dylib (which was built for Mac OS X 10.12)
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

dyld: Symbol not found: _clock_gettime
  Referenced from: /Applications/Rakudo/lib/libmoar.dylib (which was built for Mac OS X 10.12)
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

Trace/BPT trap: 5

The build targeting Sierra fails on El Capitan (10.11.5). Unexpectedly requiring an OS upgrade to run the installed app might be a stopper for a lot of people who are looking for the ease of installing Rakudo Star.

@stmuk any ideas for this?

coke commented 8 years ago

I believe this issue was resolved when @dmaestro updated the xcode command line tool installation (a new version of xcode had been installed, but the command line tools were not updated)

dmaestro commented 8 years ago

No, that only allowed me to build Rakudo from source :-). I reattempted the Star install (to paste the output above) and got the same error.

stmuk commented 8 years ago

@dmaestro Apple seem to have handled the OS upgrade quite badly see https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6-dev/2016-10-22#i_13448521 I hadn't seen them break backward compat with binaries before either but I can reproduce your problem. I'm going to rename the current DMG to contain Sierra as a quick fix and attempt to build one which works on 10.11 and lower.

stmuk commented 8 years ago

I built http://pl6anet.org/drop/rakudo-star-2016.10.1.dmg on 10.11 and hope it also works on 10.12

Please test!

I'd hope there is a config option for the compiler toolchain on 10.12 to create binaries which work on 10.11 but don't have access to a 10.12 system right now.

Looks great at first view on 10.11.5:

$ /Applications/Rakudo/bin/perl6 -v
This is Rakudo version 2016.10 built on MoarVM version 2016.10
implementing Perl 6.c.

I can porovide a MacBook Pro with 10.12 Sierra if you want me to test something.

dmaestro commented 8 years ago

@abraxxa just see that the install image @stmuk linked above for 2016.10.1 installs and runs properly on Sierra, that would help!

abraxxa commented 8 years ago

I can confirm that this build also works on 10.12.1.

stmuk commented 8 years ago

@abraxxa Thanks! I'll put the image up
