build_mac only builds debug apps but refers to release versions

[skolpadda]

How do I control this behaviour?

sh build_mac.sh attempts to build a debug version, but many things fail because the script (and some other dependencies) are hard-coded for the release version.

[horsicq]

Hello! Thanks a lot for your report! If you need debug version just open .pro file in qt creator or use cmake.

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

[horsicq]

I could create mac_build_debug.sh for debug bundle but I do not know if it really necessary.

[skolpadda]

Thanks for the (quick!) response. My question is more how can I build the release versions?

[horsicq]

Hmm. I always thought that build_mac makes release version. :) Are you sure?

You could use cmake here too. Just change Debug to Release

[skolpadda]

I can upload the full build log but it's pretty huge. Here's the relevant bit though:

With cmake I get:

srv/repos/detect-it-easy/die-source/XCapstone CMake Error at gui_source/CMakeLists.txt:21 (find_package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "QT" with any of the following names:

Qt5Config.cmake
qt5-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "QT" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "QT_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "QT" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

[horsicq]

Error 1 is a common error. I cannot say anything. Is there errors before the error?

It seems cmake cannot find qt5 on your machine. Can you open qt creator, create a simple project from the first template and run it or debug from qt creator IDE?

[skolpadda]

I'm not using qtcreator, is the build_mac script not enough? I believe the errors are because the script has built this:

XCapstone/3rdparty/Capstone/libs/mac/libcapstone_x86d.a  # x86d

which seems like it should be

XCapstone/3rdparty/Capstone/libs/mac/libcapstone_x86.a  # x86

...but I just want to build the release app in any case.

[horsicq]

Yes. build_mac script should be enough

// which seems like it should be

Hmm. It is really interesting.

Could you please try to compile on your machine this project. https://github.com/horsicq/XOpcodeCalc It uses build_mac too but does use libcapstone_x86

[skolpadda]

$ find build -type f
build/debug/XOcalc.app/Contents/MacOS/XOcalc
build/debug/XOcalc.app/Contents/Resources/empty.lproj
build/debug/XOcalc.app/Contents/Resources/main.icns
build/debug/XOcalc.app/Contents/Info.plist
build/debug/XOcalc.app/Contents/PkgInfo

[horsicq]

Great! Thanks you a lot for testing. At least You have qt5 but qt5 compiles debug builds. I will try to research it.

[horsicq]

I guess it should work if you will add to build_tools/mac.sh line 30

$QMAKE_PATH "$1" -spec $X_QMAKE_SPEC CONFIG+=x86_64 --> $QMAKE_PATH "$1" -spec $X_QMAKE_SPEC CONFIG+=x86_64 CONFIG+=release

[skolpadda]

Thanks - I thought it was getting further, but is still failing with the capstone library error, and also seems to be stubbornly building the debug app.

I really appreciate your attention to this, btw.

[horsicq]

How did you install Qt on your machine? With brew or Qt online installer?

[skolpadda]

These are the steps that worked:

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
cd qt5
git checkout 5.12.10
./init-repository

# create a build directory, configure qt with specific modules, and build/ install
cd ..
mkdir -p qt5.12.10
../qt5/configure -opensource -skip qtwebengine  -nomake tests -nomake examples -prefix /usr/local/Qt-5.12.10
make # Note this may take the better part of a day
sudo make install  # Also takes a good while

[skolpadda]

I just saw this in the build log for XOpcodeCalc:

cd gui_source/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/local/Qt-5.12.10/bin/qmake -o Makefile /System/Volumes/Data/srv/repos/detect-it-easy/XOpcodeCalc/gui_source/gui_source.pro -spec macx-clang CONFIG+=x86_64 ) && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make -f Makefile clean /usr/local/Qt-5.12.10/bin/qmake -o Makefile gui_source.pro -spec macx-clang CONFIG+=x86_64

it's not passing the CONFIG+=release flag to make?

[skolpadda]

Aha! Had to make clean AND get rid of the Makefiles. Seems a little happier now, will update when things finish building.

[skolpadda]

Success! That seems to have done the trick - thanks again for your assistance :)

Maybe consider adding release/ debug as a parameter to the build script? Not sure how much work that would be, but just adding a hard-coded CONFIG+=release might be enough. Anyway, really appreciate all your help.

[horsicq]

Thanks a lot for your solution! BtW I added hardcoded release flag https://github.com/horsicq/build_tools/commit/e517981bda0f32fc1569822a91368d3ca7f0e5ec

[skolpadda]

Well.. spoke too soon.

I'm unable to open the DiE.app - Mac whines about error -10810. I think there may still be something wrong with the build. I can upload the whole build.log if needed, since I'm not really sure what's going wrong, but here's the end of it:

zip error: Nothing to do! (/srv/repos/detect-it-easy/die-source/release/die_mac_portable_portable_3.04.zip)

This is odd since there's nothing under release/, and the entries inside build/release have a different case from what seems to be expected.

[horsicq]

The whole build log would be nice.

[skolpadda]

build.log

[horsicq]

Thanks a lot for the build log! Qt compiled the project successful and it is a good news. But there is errors in build_mac.sh

// This is odd since there's nothing under release/, and the entries inside build/release have a different case from what seems to be expected.

Yes. You are right. I changed name from die to DiE on macOS but forgot to fix all macOS scripts. :(

[horsicq]

I fixed it: https://github.com/horsicq/DIE-engine/commit/517e555dbd6636366dd5a86dda793aa20f6588b9

After scripts' work in release folder should be file die_mac_portable_portable_3.04.zip

[skolpadda]

Yes! It built successfully, although there was the same zip error at the end, however I'm unable to open the app:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /System/Volumes/Data/srv/repos/detect-it-easy/die-source/build/release/DiE.app.

I've seen this before with various permission issues but as far as I can tell, the files are set up correctly - executable permissions, no quarantine attributes etc.

Oddly if I unzip the die_mac_portable_portable_3.04.zip file I'm able to successfully run the die.app contained there. It's just the build/release/DiE.app that won't open.

[horsicq]

Great! Thanks a lot for the bugreport and testing. :)

[skolpadda]

No problem - thanks for jumping on this!

While you're here, any idea how I can get the output as seen in the attached screenshot directly from SpecAbstract? Basically I have a JNI wrapper around StaticScan and it looks like getMsRichString() might be helpful but I have no idea what to pass in.

Thanks!

[horsicq]

SpecAbstract::SCAN_OPTIONS scanOptions={0};
SpecAbstract::SCAN_RESULT scanResult=StaticScan::processFile(sFileName,&scanOptions); static QList _listRecords=SpecAbstract::convert(&(scanResult.listRecords));

ScanItemModel model(&_listRecords);

XBinary::FORMATTYPE formatType=XBinary::FORMATTYPE_TEXT;

printf("%s\n",model.toString(formatType).toLatin1().data());

[horsicq]

SpecAbstract::SCAN_OPTIONS scanOptions={0}; scanOptions.bDeepScan=true; scanOptions.bRecursiveScan=true;

SpecAbstract::SCAN_RESULT scanResult=StaticScan::processFile(sFileName,&scanOptions);

[horsicq]

XBinary::FORMATTYPE_CSV; XBinary::FORMATTYPE_JSON; XBinary::FORMATTYPE_TSV; XBinary::FORMATTYPE_XML;

If you need another formats

[horsicq]

You can create a topic here: https://github.com/horsicq/DIE-engine/discussions If you will have any questions in the future. :)

[skolpadda]

Unfortunately this line just crashes with no information:

 static QListXBinary::SCANSTRUCT _listRecords=SpecAbstract::convert(&(scanResult.listRecords));

I can open a discussion/ other ticket if needed.

[horsicq]

Just remove static.

use:

QList<XBinary::SCANSTRUCT> _listRecords=SpecAbstract::convert(&(scanResult.listRecords));

[skolpadda]

Same behaviour.

[horsicq]

It is code from console version of nfd https://github.com/horsicq/Nauz-File-Detector/blob/c596263386067a4d7d7c98c7e1272896b7bd817d/console_source/main_console.cpp#L57

Could you try to compile this project an check behaviour https://github.com/horsicq/Nauz-File-Detector

[skolpadda]

That app seems to work fine. It seems like the convert() method isn't even being called from my code - I just get a SIGSEGV and the entire app bombs out.

    SpecAbstract::SCAN_OPTIONS scanOptions = {};
    SpecAbstract::SCAN_RESULT scanResult = {};

    scanOptions.bRecursiveScan = true;
    scanOptions.bDeepScan = true;
    scanOptions.bHeuristicScan = true;
    scanOptions.bAllTypesScan = true;

    StaticScan staticScan;
    staticScan.setData(buf, len, &scanOptions, &scanResult);
    staticScan.process();
    staticScan.stop();

    cerr << "scanned\n";
    QList<XBinary::SCANSTRUCT> _listRecords = SpecAbstract::convert(&(scanResult.listRecords));
    cerr << "converted\n";

I have some diagnostics in the convert() method but they don't get output.

[horsicq]

// That app seems to work fine. // SIGSEGV

Can you try to copy libs folder(XArchive,XCapstone) from this app build folder to build folder where SIGSEGV is.

[skolpadda]

Same thing - output is below. I should explain I've got a JNI wrapper around your code, but all of this is happening inside C++, not java, so I don't think it's related to the JNI code.

Here's the (AFAICT) relevant bit from the error log, but it's on the java side so might not be super useful.

// Basically I have a JNI wrapper

// That app seems to work fine.

Hmm. Mb just use modified console version of Nauz-File-Detector with xml or json output?

Call it from Java code https://dzone.com/articles/execute-shell-command-java and handle output?

[skolpadda]

That's not a bad idea, but the reason for doing all this is for the best performance possible - I think starting a separate process may degrade performance somewhat.

[horsicq]

It may be security limits with java in macOS.

[skolpadda]

This is actually running inside a linux docker container - and if I remove the call to ::convert (and all the subsequent code), everything works fine - and works up to that point in any case.

[horsicq]

Hmm. Interesting.

[skolpadda]

I've been able to get some diagnostics to display, will let you know when I figure out exactly what's causing the crash.

[horsicq]

ok!

[skolpadda]

Here's the line that fails:

            record.colText=QApplication::palette().text().color();

I'm guessing something to do with not running in the GUI maybe? Or I haven't initialized the application correctly?

[horsicq]

Great! Just remove this line. It is only for GUI, color for detect.

[horsicq]

I will think about it how fix it for java bind.

[skolpadda]

That helped - getting further at least.
