Cannot compile on Mac OS

[roynalnaruto]

I am facing compilation errors in the eleveldb dependency. A complete report of the log, I have posted here: https://gist.github.com/roynalnaruto/0dab850266367d7e99e4787a98ef355f

• Mac OS version

  macOS Mojave v10.14.6

• xcode-select --install

  xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

• I have also completed the setup for the command line tools

  open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg

• gcc version

  $ gcc version
  Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
  Apple LLVM version 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4)
  Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0
  Thread model: posix
  InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

• clang version

  $ clang --version
  Apple LLVM version 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.46.4)
  Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0
  Thread model: posix
  InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

• xcode-select version

  $ xcode-select --version
  xcode-select version 2354.

• LDFLAGS and CFLAGS were unset before I tried to compile

Any help regarding this would be appreciated

Getting the same issue, was fixed with PR #245. It would be good to get a new version on hex that contains this fix.

EDIT: In the meantime, you might try adding that flag manually yourself during compilation. If you're using make, simply do:

make CFLAGS+="-stdlib=libc++" \
    CXXFLAGS+="-stdlib=libc++" \
    DRV_CFLAGS+="-stdlib=libc++" \
    DRV_LDFLAGS+="-stdlib=libc++"

@ergl thanks! It worked, yes it would be helpful to get a bumped version on hex

@erlg thanks for taking the time to post your fix - wasted half of yesterday on this (missed the DRV_ vars

Worth mentioning this fix doesn't work unless you build from the 'develop' branch as it has this https://github.com/basho/eleveldb/pull/245 PR applied

[ergl]

@bryanhuntesl if you're already depending on develop, I don't think you should have any problems compiling, since the fix is already there. The solution I posted above is doing the same as #245, but at the Makefile level.

The upside of #245 is that it adds the flags only at the eleveldb dependency level, whereas what I posted will apply to the same project.

Building on macOS did not work for me with the only the changes from #245, it failed as follows:

$ mix deps.compile eleveldb

** (Mix) Could not compile dependency :eleveldb, "/Users/jvf/.mix/rebar3 bare compile --paths "/Users/jvf/repos/sonnen/vpp/_build/dev/lib/*/ebin"" command failed. You can recompile this dependency with "mix deps.compile eleveldb", update it with "mix deps.update eleveldb" or clean it with "mix deps.clean eleveldb"

As you can see the problem is with building Snappy, I created #258 to fix this.
