Mac Nightly Build
« on: August 03, 2009, 03:40:37 am »
I think this is the right board for this sort of topic, if not, I apologize.

Anyway, I'm sure people have talked about this quite a lot, and I'm pretty sure that there are some older discussions as to why Mac OS X was dropped from open nightly build support; however, I was hoping to get some more up-to-date reasons as to why the Mac operating system is not supported by CodeBlocks. I love the IDE and the tools that it comes with, I just really wish that it was also available on the Mac platform. Please keep in mind that I have no knowledge about what goes on when trying to build something like this. I'm looking for someone (or multiple people) to calmly explain to me why porting CodeBlocks to Macintosh computers is so difficult. If I was knowledgeable enough on this subject, I wouldn't bother you guys with these questions.

Furthermore, with the current nightly builds, I was hoping to see if I could get the *NIX version to work with the Mac operating system since it does have a heavy UNIX background. Could someone also tell me if that is or is not possible and why (please don't berate me and just tell me that it isn't possible... I'd like to understand why).

Things like this interest me, which is why, I suppose, I am going into computer engineering and computer science this fall.

Because no Mac person is willing, and able, to take the time and effort for a long term effort to provide the builds.
(Just guessing more Mac people have jobs than PC people.)

Are you willing to?

afb did it for a while and does the releases from time to time.

Get the 8.02 version of the Mac release and use SVN to try to build the current source code.
The berlios site has a patched version of wxWidgets in it to fix a bug in C::B 8.02.

Note: berlios SVN done right now. Link below to check status.

Thank you for the helpful post!

I would love to help provide Mac-ready builds of CodeBlocks (I have enough free time to get it done). If I'm actually successful at doing so, I'd try and do it for every nightly build. I'm downloading the 8.02 binary as I'm typing this (sluggish 17.0 KB download speed isn't helping), so I'll give that a go first. I had looked at compiling sources before; so, I'll try my hand at that if the 8.02 method doesn't work.

As for that patch you mentioned, where from berlios.de do I find it? The status page simply told me what parts of the site were working (at least, that's all I got from it).

Well, it appeared like CodeBlocks 8.02 compiled the Unix CodeBlocks project of revision 5723; however, I can't find any trace of what it did.

I moved on to the source compilation guide; however, I've run into a problem. When trying to use the bootstrap to setup the environment, I'm simply getting a "command not found" message in the Mac terminal. Since I'm not very knowledgeable with these things it's going to to make awhile to figure out what to do.

My guess, Do you have XCode?

I am a WinXP person so it is a very wild guess.

I've installed XCode, but I can always do another install... I guess. Keep in mind that I had downloaded it from Apple. This time, I'm going to run the installation disks that came with my computer.

I'll let you know in this post how it goes.

[EDIT]
This install seemed to do a lot more than my online copy. Fingers are crossed.

[EDIT2]
No good. Nothing has changed. I still type "sudo {PATH-TO-BOOTSTRAP-IN-REVISION-FOLDER}\bootstrap" without the quotes and I get:
"sudo: {PATH-TO-BOOTSTRAP-IN-REVISION-FOLDER}\bootstrap: command not found"

The Wiki shows the command as below; I have no idea if it work with an different build folder.

I tried using this:
Code
cd /Users/robertsenkbeil/Desktop/CodeBlocks_Revision_5723
Yes, my name is Robert Senkbeil. ;)

Followed by this:
Code
sudo ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /Developer/usr/share/aclocal" ./bootstrap

I still get this:
Code
sudo: ACLOCAL_FLAGS=-I /Developer/usr/share/aclocal: command not found

As for my automake version, the one located in the /Developer/usr/share/aclocal is 1.10.

[EDIT]
Another note is that when I type in the terminal:
Code
automake --version

I get:

I suggest trying it in smaller chunks

Code
cd /Users/robertsenkbeil/Desktop/CodeBlocks_Revision_5723

Code
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /Developer/usr/share/aclocal"
Not sure if export keyword is required or not.

Code
sudo ./bootstrap

I'm pretty sure there's something missing when I try to execute the bootstrap file.

Everything worked up until:
Code
./bootstrap

In fact, any bootstrap file that I try to run on my Mac returns "command not found" in the terminal.

Does the file "bootstrap" exist to the current directory?

The old way to do script files is
Code
sh < bootstrap

I'm not sure what's going now. Following your advice and typing:
Code
sh < bootstrap

Got me:
Code
$ sh < bootstrapsh: line 11: ./update_revision.sh: Permission denied
rm: autom4te.cache/output.0t: Permission denied
rm: autom4te.cache/requests: Permission denied
rm: autom4te.cache/traces.0t: Permission denied
rm: autom4te.cache: Directory not empty
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
aclocal-1.10: configure.in:3: file `revision.m4' does not exist

Obviously, to force permission, I used 'sudo' followed by my password when asked:
Code
$ sudo sh < bootstrap
Password: *****
sh: line 11: ./update_revision.sh: Permission denied
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.

Try doing

Code
sudo chmod 777 update_revision.sh

I think it should set the execute flag and give you permissions on it.

Well... that definitely caused a change.

After typing with no resulting errors:
Code
sudo chmod 777 update_revision.sh

I then retyped:
Code
sudo sh < bootstrap

What followed was as below:

After trying several different methods of configure that resulted in "no command found", I did hit a successful "roadblock."

The following yielded the "command not found" result:
Code
sudo ./configure --enable-contrib

This told me the directory was not found:
Code
sudo sh < configure --enable-contrib

I then adapted the above with 'configure.in', which was the only configure file in the revision folder:
Code
sudo sh < configure.in --enable-contrib
Code
sh: --enable-contrib: invalid option

I finally hit something with the following:
Code
sudo sh < configure.in
Code
sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `2.50'
sh: line 1: `AC_PREREQ(2.50)'

Sorry, I just remember that bootstrap is supposed to take in "configure.in" and output "configure" with no extension.

I think you might need to get afb or another Mac expert or at least an Unix/Linux expert involved.

Alright. Well, thank you so much for your help so far. Hopefully, this topic won't get ignored by the other experts around here (you're an expert to me). I really want to get a nightly build running on my Mac and, if that works, contribute a little bit back to the C::B community.

I've stayed up a little too late tonight (it's 2:42 A.M. for me) trying to work this out; so, I'm going to call it quits tonight.

Once again, thank you so much stahta01 (Tim S.), you have definitely proved that C::B has a supportive community. :D

[EDIT]
On a small note, I noticed that there is also a 'configure.sub' file in my revision folder... plus a few more files that must have been generated by the previous bootstrap attempt.

Hi,

Just read the posts now.
The fact that linux and MAc nightly builds are no longer available is that no one currently has the time to provide them.
Linux is a bit more difficult due to the different packaging mechanisms (rpm, deb, ...).

So in case you feel like providing them, great. Let me know and I explain to you how it works to get them synchronized with the windows ones.

Note however a few people build them once again for linux and they host their 'deliveries' in their own space. But maybe it's time to resynchroniwe so that all builds are once again on our berlios site.

Don't use --enable-contrib, use --with-contrib-plugins=all instead.
For the beginning I suggest not to build the contrib-plugins, until you get C::B itself compiled succesfully.

I'm no Mac-User (only linux), so I can not provide much help.

The .svn-warning comes because you seem not to use svn-sources (if svn on berlios is down, you can not even fetch them), resulting in the revision number 0 inside C::B, but that does not matter.

I've tried using --enable-contrib and --with-contrib-plugins=all, but both give me the same result: command not found.

If I could just figure out what is missing on my Mac to run the bootstrap, I would be happy to produce Mac builds. Since it seems that configure.in isn't what I'm supposed to run next... and because bootstrap is failing, the proper configure file isn't produced... the bootstrap is required. I know that the nightly Linux builds are supported a little more often... or a lot more often... than the Mac build. I was really hoping to get it to work, but I can't even set up my environment properly because the bootstrap fails to execute.

[EDIT]
Oh, and I was able to get a revision before it went offline, apparently. I grabbed the 5723 revision, which was the latest at the time. So... even if the revision wasn't able to be updated, should that even make a difference?

Anyway, I'm sure people have talked about this quite a lot, and I'm pretty sure that there are some older discussions as to why Mac OS X was dropped from open nightly build support; however, I was hoping to get some more up-to-date reasons as to why the Mac operating system is not supported by CodeBlocks.

The Mac builds have always been more "monthly" than "nightly", as you can see from the list at http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5358. I still update it from time-to-time, but it takes like a day and 5 gigs disk or so to build it (twice even, once for PowerPC and once for Intel)...

Quote
I love the IDE and the tools that it comes with, I just really wish that it was also available on the Mac platform. Please keep in mind that I have no knowledge about what goes on when trying to build something like this. I'm looking for someone (or multiple people) to calmly explain to me why porting CodeBlocks to Macintosh computers is so difficult. If I was knowledgeable enough on this subject, I wouldn't bother you guys with these questions.

Most of the actual porting should be done, except for missing features such as frameworks. Or bugs, like the crashing batch build or the hanging printing support. The build itself shouldn't be more complex than ./configure --with-contrib-plugins=all && make plus some packaging hassles to merge the Universal Binary and to make the .app self-contained and relocatable (as described on the Wiki page). Note that you do need to build and install wxWidgets as well (wxMac, or Carbon, platform).

Quote
Furthermore, with the current nightly builds, I was hoping to see if I could get the *NIX version to work with the Mac operating system since it does have a heavy UNIX background. Could someone also tell me if that is or is not possible and why (please don't berate me and just tell me that it isn't possible... I'd like to understand why).

You can build the GTK+/X11 version of the GUI on the Mac too, just that most people prefer the Quartz/Aqua version. The "easiest" way to build it is to use MacPorts and the codeblocks-devel port (you might want to bump the revision in the Portfile).

Code
sudo port install codeblocks-devel +x11

Code
