Failing to Build on macOS Sierra (Architecture Issue?)

Enkerli commented 7 years ago

Unable to build on my mid-2011 Mac mini running macOS Sierra. Sounds like it might be an issue with the i386 called versus the x86_64 build.

This warning: ld: warning: ignoring file /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib, file was built for x86_64 which is not the architecture being linked (i386): /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib leads to: ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

And eventually:

did you follow the instructions in doc/BUILD.md ? in particular for installing libusb... it looks like you didn't install the universal build of libusb

ps : given this is very much still in development, I suggest you don't just download the code, but rather use git, and clone the repo, then when I update it, it will simply be a matter of doing a git pull

Yep, had followed the instructions and it was supposed to have installed libusb with the universal flag active. Good point about the git pull. Did so with other projects but not this one (was just trying it on my Mac before focusing on other machines). Tried the whole procedure again. Since brew was telling me libusb was already installed (1.0.21) uninstalled it and reinstalled it (with the --universal flag, of course). But therein lies the rub!

Warning: libusb: this formula has no --universal option so it will be ignored!

So that’s why the universal version of libusb wasn’t installed. And that’s because “universal” was dropped three months ago: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/commit/e64cea8b6ed4cff53abace4bd89f89a060c75bad#diff-ff4bdefe3c6209d82e19dfbf2593093e

Built it! Wasn’t so obvious to revert to the previous version of the libusb.rb formula (resorted to copy-paste), but it worked. Here’s the file:

    option "with-default-log-level-debug", "Build with default runtime log level of debug (instead of none)"

    deprecated_option "no-runtime-logging" => "without-runtime-logging"

    def install
      ENV.universal_binary if build.universal?

      args = %W[--disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=#{prefix}]
      args << "--disable-log" if build.without? "runtime-logging"
      args << "--enable-debug-log" if build.with? "default-log-level-debug"

    system "./autogen.sh" if build.head?
    system "./configure", *args
    system "make", "install"
    pkgshare.install "examples"
  end

  test do
    cp_r (pkgshare/"examples"), testpath
    cd "examples" do
      system ENV.cc, "-lusb-1.0", "-L#{lib}", "-I#{include}/libusb-1.0",
             "listdevs.c", "-o", "test"
      system "./test"
    end
  end
end

Saved that as libusb.rb then, from that folder, did: brew install ./libusb.rb --universal (after brew uninstall libusb, of course).

hmm, looks like homebrew is generally removing the universal build option... presumably there is a way to specify which arch you want to build, as just using the arch of the machine is plain dumb. I'll take a look next time I'm doing stuff in this area..... I'll probably just ditch the homebrew (which was kind of a hack for testing anyway) and just get eigend to build libusb natively.
