Build hangs on OSX when compiling from master #308

Closed cianoc closed 6 years ago

cianoc commented 6 years ago

When trying to compile on OSX from master the build process hangs when compiling the xtm files. I've attached a screenshot of where exactly this occurs in the build process.

I was trying to compile a package so that I could create a DMG file, but others have reported encountering the same problem.

Having looked into it there seems to be a permissions problem. When I gave up and cancelled it I got the message: "cannot write AOT-compilation file at ./libs/aot-cache/base.xtm"

When I looked at that directory I saw that the files in aot-cache have the permissions set to:

Which doesn't seem right.

Just to follow-up, does it only happen when trying to re-build Extempore from an existing cmake-build directory which has already built Extempore in the past?

benswift commented 6 years ago

I'm having trouble reproducing - both building from "clean", and re-building works fine on my machine.

The other possibility is that the firewall is blocking Extempore from making connections to localhost? Do you get a bunch of these boxes popping up:

It’s definitely not the firewall and it was a clean build.

Are you in the staff group on your Mac? I wonder if that could be the difference.

hmm, yep, I am

uid=501(ben) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff),12(everyone),61(localaccounts),79(_appserverusr),80(admin),81(_appserveradm),98(_lpadmin),701(1),33(_appstore),100(_lpoperator),204(_developer),250(_analyticsusers),395(com.apple.access_ftp),398(com.apple.access_screensharing),399(com.apple.access_ssh)

This was a clean install of 10.13 about 2 weeks ago, and I haven't played sillybuggers with the groups at all (except that I think homebrew might do some weird stuff)?

So yeah, that could well be the issue - the question is how to fix?

cianoc commented 6 years ago

No that's not it. That seems to be the default group on OSX. I just updated to High Sierra and nuked everything. Maybe that'll fix it.

cianoc commented 6 years ago

Ok that worked. No idea what was different. Still can't work out how to build a DMG though.

benswift commented 6 years ago

Ok. I've now downloaded XCode, I'll try the dmg thing again.
