Unable to build use-phasar-as-library example, phasar_FOUND set to false

Bug description

I receive warnings of the following form when executing cmake . as a step toward building the use-phasar-as-library example.

CMake Warning at /usr/local/phasar/lib/cmake/phasar/phasar_ifdside-config.cmake:28 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /usr/local/phasar/lib/cmake/phasar/phasarConfig.cmake

  but it set phasar_FOUND to FALSE so package "phasar" is considered to be
  NOT FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  The following imported targets are referenced, but are missing:
  phasar::phasar_phasarllvm_utils

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/local/phasar/lib/cmake/phasar/phasarConfig.cmake:31 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:16 (find_package)

This occurs for both phasar::phasar_phasarllvm_utils and phasar::phasar_utils. When using bootstrap.sh as opposed to a custom build script, I also encountered this error:

CMake Error at /usr/local/lib/cmake/nlohmann_json_schema_validator/nlohmann_json_schema_validatorTargets.cmake:69 (message):
  The imported target "nlohmann_json_schema_validator" references the file

     "/usr/local/lib/libnlohmann_json_schema_validator.so.2.1.0"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "/usr/local/lib/cmake/nlohmann_json_schema_validator/nlohmann_json_schema_validatorTargets.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

  /usr/local/phasar/lib/cmake/phasar/phasarConfig.cmake:31 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:16 (find_package)

I have been able to build and use PhaSAR's example-tool without these errors occurring; this only happens when building something outside of PhaSAR's source.

Configuration

This occurs when building PhaSAR's use-phasar-as-library example in a Docker container on my M1 MacBook Pro; x86 emulation isn't enabled. I have created a directory with the contents of use-phasar-as-library and a clone of PhaSAR inside. The structure is like so:

|- dir
   |- phasar
      |- ... (clone of phasar)
   |- CMakeLists.txt
   |- Dockerfile
   |- myphasartool.cpp
   |- README.md

When troubleshooting, I built PhaSAR in two ways. In the first configuration, I executed sudo ./bootstrap.sh as suggested in the readme. Only this configuration triggered the error with json_schema_validator. In the second configuration, I recreated the commands used in the GitHub Actions workflow configuration with an additional cmake . --install at the end. Both Dockerfiles are attached below to assist with recreating these errors.

Within CMakeLists.txt, I set the PHASAR_LIBRARY_DIR and PHASAR_INCLUDE_DIR variables to point to the include and lib directories in both phasar/build/ as well as /usr/local/lib/phasar/ and /usr/local/include/phasar/. The error occurred with each of these options.

Steps to reproduce

• Copy the contents of use-phasar-as-library to a directory
• Clone PhaSAR into this directory
• Build PhaSAR using bootstrap.sh or the commands for a Release build as specified in ci.yml
• Modify the PHASAR_LIB_DIR and PHASAR_INCLUDE_DIR environment variables to point to the lib and include directories in either /usr/local/../phasar or in the build directory of the clone of PhaSAR.
• Execute cmake . in the directory containing the contents of use-phasar-as-library

Context (Environment)

• phasar: [11aab80]
• googletest: [e2239ee]
• json: [4f8fba1]
• WALi-OpenNWA: [27fc1d0]

Operating System:

• [x] Linux
• [ ] Windows
• [x] macOS

Build Type:

• [x] cmake
• [x] custom build

Possible solution

Unknown.

Here are Dockerfiles that recreate each of the configurations I used.

Many thanks for your time and assistance!

Hi @icmccorm, I could reproduce your issue. Seems that our installation process is somewhat broken. However, with the non-bootstrap build I could still get myphasartool to build successfully (when out-commenting the stuff about WholeProgramAnalysis which seems to be out-of-sync with rest of phasar). I will see, what we can do about this issue.

[fabianbs96]

Can you please check whether #532 fixes the warnings you get from cmake?

[icmccorm]

Sure! I'll be able to look at this in the next day or so, and I'll get back to you ASAP.

[icmccorm]

My apologies for the delay!

I tried building this in the first docker container configuration I mentioned, which I had linked under Dockerfile-custom.txt. I received the following error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:139 (find_package):
Could not find a configuration file for package "LLVM" that is compatible
with requested version "10".

The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    /usr/lib/llvm-14/cmake/LLVMConfig.cmake, version: 14.0.6
    /lib/llvm-14/cmake/LLVMConfig.cmake, version: 14.0.6

I haven't been able to try this again with Dockerfile-bootstrap.txt, but I'll follow up again in the next day or two once I can!

[MMory]

what is the state of this issue? @icmccorm ?

[icmccorm]

Sorry for the wait! I just tried building in a local docker container using ./bootstrap.sh on my M1 Mac, and it worked correctly, passing all tests. Closing this issue.

Looks like the example is again broken on develop branch, with the renaming and split of libraries.

I have tried to add the libraries by changing here to

set(PHASAR_COMPONENTS
  utils
  config
  llvm_utils
  passes
  llvm_db
  db
  llvm_pointer
  pointer
  llvm_controlflow
  controlflow
  llvm_typehierarchy
  taintconfig
  llvm_ifdside
)

, but now I get this error

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:16 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /usr/local/phasar/lib/cmake/phasar/phasarConfig.cmake

  but it set phasar_FOUND to FALSE so package "phasar" is considered to be
  NOT FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  The following imported targets are referenced, but are missing:
  phasar::phasar_llvm

Add llvm to it introduces more errors, looks like there's dependency issue in these

[fabianbs96]

hi @asesidaa, thanks for pointing that out. You are right, the installation is broken again. Can you try whether https://github.com/secure-software-engineering/phasar/tree/f-FixInstallAfterReworkFolderStructure fixes the issue?

[asesidaa]

Thanks for the quick fix. I have tested it, the example now works correctly.

Oh, and another issue related to nlohmann_json_schema_validator also occured at my end, but I was able to fix that issue.

It seems that when installed using bootstrap.sh the cmake files for nlohmann_json_schema_validator library are installed into /usr/local/lib/cmake instead of /usr/local/phasar/lib/cmake, and _IMPORT_PREFIX is set to /usr/local where as the real library (.so) files are installed into /usr/local/phasar/lib. By manually moving the files to correct location and fix the prefix, this issue was solved manually.

[fabianbs96]

Thanks for that observation. For this one I don't have a quick fix^^. We will see what we can do about it

[asesidaa]

It seems that the json validator repo has updated the cmake file about install, which could be related?
