1222305 - Make B2G build on Mac OS 10.11/XCode 7.1

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: GonkIntegration, defect)

Description

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

It's currently impossible to build B2G on Mac OS 10.11 El Capitan (XCode 7.1)

Since it's the current version of Mac OS and XCode we should add support for it.

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

To fix the first error I encountered I had to edit ./build/core/combo/HOST_darwin-x86.mk line 39:

`mac_sdk_versions_supported := 10.6 10.7 10.8 10.9 10.10 10.11`

This got the build going.

Next it fails somewhere in ACP:

It's still looking for include files in 10.9 SDK. The build worked for me after I copied the 10.11 SDK folder (/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk) and named it 10.9

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

Did you edit ./build/core/combo/HOST_darwin-x86.mk? I copied the directory MacOS10.11.sdk to MacOS10.9.sdk and I still see 

(b2g2)zbraniecki@velen:~/projects/mozilla/B2G (master *%=)$ ./build.sh -j1

Build with |./build.sh -j1| for better messages
If all else fails, use |rm -rf objdir-gecko| to clobber gecko and |rm -rf out| to clobber everything else.

Yeah I have no idea why its looking for 10.6.
I modified the line to: mac_sdk_versions_supported :=  10.9

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

Got it working. Editing the file to only list 10.9 and copying the folder does work, but it feels very much like a dirty-hack. We should support it OOTB

Comment 6

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

Michael, can you help out here? Or any suggestions who could?

Comment 7

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

So, I'm still trying to follow Gregor's advice - I copied SDK and I changed the entry to only have '10.9'.

The build goes on for a while until it stops at this error: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8851643

Gregor, did you encounter this?

I guess symlink would also have worked. Was already pretty late when I worked on this :)

Hm are you doing a full build? I mostly use './build.sh gecko'. A full build never worked for me. I got it to compile some time ago but after flashing the phone was bricked.
So to answer your questions, no I haven't seen this error.

Attachment: xcode.patch

Here is my mk file to make the build for nexus5-l. I don't have the copy of MacOSX10.9.sdk. Just build with 10.11 sdk.

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

Attachment: flame-kk.patch

I was able to use this patch to build flame-kk gecko on MacOS 10.11 without any alternations to the system.

The only part that looks funky is that I had to manually set the mmacosx-version-min to make it stop complaining about not knowing `10.11`

Comment 11

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

Ken, do you have anyone that can help out here?

Comment 12

[Ken Chang[:kenkai]]

Farmer, can you please help this bug? Thanks.

Comment 13

[Farmer Tseng[:fatseng](inactive)]

My environment is MacOS 10.10.5 and Xcode 5.1.1.
I am not familiar with MacOS but I will spend time to check it.

Comment 14

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

Any update here?

Comment 15

[Farmer Tseng[:fatseng](inactive)]

I am busy on another project porting, don't have time to check it yet.

Comment 16

[Farmer Tseng[:fatseng](inactive)]

I start to look at it today.

Comment 17

[Farmer Tseng[:fatseng](inactive)]

This is i686-apple-darwin11-gcc problem.
It doesn't recognize SDK above 10.9.
Try following command under prebuilts/gcc/darwin-x86/host/i686-apple-darwin-4.2.1/bin/
$ ./i686-apple-darwin11-gcc -mmacosx-version-min=10.10 -dM -E -o - - < /dev/null | grep MAC_OS_X
You could see the similar error log.
<built-in>:0: error: Unknown value ‘10.10’ of -mmacosx-version-min
