Build problems on OSX #5

Open jl2 opened 9 years ago

jl2 commented 9 years ago

I cloned the externals-clasp repo and attempted to follow the directions in README.md and ran into the following two problems:

llvm failed to build because I don't have OCaml installed, and by default it wants to build bindings for OCaml. I was able to solve the build issue by adding "--disable-bindings" to the ./configure commands executed inside the makefile's llvm-setup-debug and llvm-setup-release rules.
Next, zlib failed to build with a confusing message about -Werror being passed to the compiler. I found that the makefile contains CC=$(CLASP_CC) with CLASP_CC being undefined on my system. The zlib configure script is seeing a compile failure, and assuming it was due to strict error checking, when it's actually due to no compiler being specified. My fix was to add "export CLASP_CC=clang" to my local.config file.

This is running on OSX 10.9.5.

Should have mentioned, after fixing these, the rest of externals-clasp and clasp itself built successfully.

I've got another issue building on Mac OS X, version 10.10.3: it makes it as far as this target:

make boehm-setup
(cd boehm-7.2; \
        export ALL_INTERIOR_PTRS=1; \
        CFLAGS="-DUSE_MMAP" \
        ./configure --enable-shared=no ...)

Its config runs up to this point:

checking whether Solaris gcc optimization fix is necessary... no
checking for dladdr... yes
checking sys/dg_sys_info.h usability... no
checking sys/dg_sys_info.h presence... no
checking for sys/dg_sys_info.h... no
./configure: line 17489: syntax error near unexpected token `ATOMIC_OPS,'
./configure: line 17489: `   PKG_CHECK_MODULES(ATOMIC_OPS, atomic_ops, ,'
make[3]: *** [boehm-setup] Error 2
make[2]: *** [setup] Error 2
make[1]: *** [allnoget] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Update: same error on 10.10.5.

Here's the workaround that I used:

$ brew install boehmgc

I then removed the following from the externals-clasp makefile :

make boehm-setup
make zlib-setup
make boehm-build
make zlib-build

zlib was giving me issues, and since I already had it installed on my system, I removed it. With these changes externals-clasp was successfully built.
