Compilation Failure on OS X Big Sur

[samuelboland]

Current Behaviour

Attempting to compile following instructions here: https://github.com/fritzing/fritzing-app/wiki/1.-Building-Fritzing leads to a failure on OS X Big Sur.

Error text copied here:

:-1: error: no such file or directory: '/usr/lib/libz.dylib' :-1: error: no such file or directory: '/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation' :-1: error: no such file or directory: '/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Carbon' :-1: error: no such file or directory: '/System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit' :-1: error: no such file or directory: '/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security' clang: error: no such file or directory: '/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security' make[1]: [../release64/Fritzing.app/Contents/MacOS/Fritzing] Error 1 make: [release] Error 2

[Build:] Latest git version on 'develop' branch with SHA b8c2430b09123770bffe079d756643d78957c1a5

Operating System: OS X 11.2 (Big Sur)

Steps to reproduce:

• Step 1 Attempt to compile following instructions. Get as far as clicking Run in QT Creator.

Expected Behaviour

Compilation proceeds successfully.

Notes

I believe that this may due to a similar issue to this Stackoverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62587131/macos-big-sur-python-ctypes-find-library-does-not-find-libraries-ssl-corefou

It appears that Apple has removed some libraries from the filesystem and instead stores them in some sort of cache. This is not my area of expertise so I am unable to comment further.

[KjellMorgenstern]

I think you can let qt handle finding the library instead of the current way to specify the path. This might break building on older versions however. Are you attempting a universal binary build?

[prescindivel]

any solution?

[thenickdude]

In /phoenix.pro I had to edit it to replace those old Framework file references (that were broken with Big Sur's move to a combined dyld cache). These were the original lines:

    LIBS += /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation
    LIBS += /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Carbon
    LIBS += /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit

Which I replaced by:

    LIBS += -framework CoreFoundation
    LIBS += -framework Carbon
    LIBS += -framework IOKit

I also used these to link to my MacPorts versions of libraries:

    LIBS += /opt/local/lib/libssh2.dylib
    LIBS += /opt/local/lib/libiconv.dylib
    LIBS += /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib

Also in /pri/libgit2detect.pri I had to change this line:

            LIBS += $$LIBGIT2LIB/libgit2.a /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security

To:

            LIBS += $$LIBGIT2LIB/libgit2.a -framework Security

I followed the steps above but I am still getting a runtime error.

:-1: error: framework not found libz.dylib

What did you replace LIBS += /usr/lib/libz.dylib with?

Update 01/31/2023:

I have resolved this issue by installing zlib with MacPorts and adding LIBS += /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib

[ianphaas]

Update:

I have resolved the zlib issue by installing it wit MacPorts. However I am now getting the error below:

Does anyone know why this is? For reference, I am using a 2020 M1 MacBook Air.

[thenickdude]

Looks like you're missing libgit2

[ianphaas]

I do have libgit2 installed in the same folder as my Fritzing app. I looked over the libgit2 docs and it looks like everything is set up right, is there a specific command I need to add to my PATH variable to make the library work?

Also I was wondering if it might have anything to do with the fact that the M1 is ARM-based, not x86_64, my only thought about this is the first line which says:

👎 error: Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
