Build Script not Working with Mac OS X 10.13

[shanealynn]

RDM Version: 0.9.6 Environment (OS name and version): OS X 10.13 Redis Server Version: N/A

Steps to reproduce:

• git clone repository
• checkout tab 0.9.6 (same issue on 0.9)
• install home-brew etc.
• "Copy cd ./src && cp ./resources/Info.plist.sample ./resources/Info.plist" all fine - Info.plist file exists as expected.
• ./configure

Expected result: Build success

Actual Result: Errors while building gbreakpad - errors starting from line: xcodebuild -quiet -sdk macosx -project src/client/mac/Breakpad.xcodeproj -configuration Release -target Breakpad -xcconfig ../../src/gbreakpad.xcconfig ARCHS=x86_64

Hello please check that you have free space and try to update gbreakpad submodule to latest master

[shanealynn]

Thanks for coming back.

Yes, lots of space on HD, no problem there - 42GB free.

Pulled most recent master for each submodule with:

git submodule foreach git pull origin master

Various updates.

No change to error.

My hunch is a change to the Xcode requirements / build instructions. Since there's some files built now there are a lot of warnings such as:

warning: Stale file '/Users/shane/Documents/Programs/rdm/bin/osx/Frameworks/crash_report_sender.app/Contents/Resources/sl.lproj/Localizable.strings' is located outside of the allowed root paths.

However, error at the end is still the same:

Hello,

Any solution on this issue?

[chenmin1992]

i also face to this problem

[uglide]

Just downgrade Xcode to 9.4.1 to solve this issue

[haniha]

@uglide @shanealynn

just edit configure file and add -UseModernBuildSystem=NO to end of 'xcodebuild'

Encountered the same issue mentioned by @dannyfritz (MacOS 10.14, XCode 10.0)

You need to open src/client/mac in Xcode. Then select client/mac/sender/Breakpad.xib and in the "Interface Builder Document" pane select "macOS 10.xx or later" (later than 10.6 of course) for your deployment target and save.

I opened a Breakpad ticket here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/google-breakpad/issues/detail?id=778
