[DEV] MacOS - Build Feathercoind + Feathercoin-Qt v0.9.3.1 [COMPLETED]

[AcidD]

Hi All,

Not sure if this was the best place to put this…if anyone wants to help with the OSX build…I’m using either El Capitan or Sierra for my build environment.

So far I’ve only managed to compile Feathercoind (the Daemon) on OSX. Below is what I’m doing to get it compiled. If anyone wants to throw any advice my way to get QT built…that would be amazing.

1 - Install homebrew (brew)

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

2 - Install feathercoin dependancies

brew install boost  --universal --build-from-source

brew install protobuf  --c++11 --universal --build-from-source

brew install libevent --c++11 --universal --build-from-source

brew install autoconf automake libtool miniupnpc openssl pkg-config

brew install berkeley-db4

brew install libqrencode

3 - ./Configure command for building feathercoind

./configure --disable-upnp-default --disable-tests --disable-hardening --without-miniupnpc LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/berkeley-db4/lib/ -L/usr/local/opt/qrencode/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/berkeley-db4/include/ -I/usr/local/opt/qrencode/include/" --with-boost=/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.62.0 --with-gui=no

---

Doing the above on Mavricks, Yosemite, El Capitan or Sierra will produce feathercoind.

to run it i’m doing…:

./feathercoind -printtoconsole 

it starts syncing with the blockchain and everything looks good. If anyone can verify that this works on their Mac it would be a good first step to getting an OSX build of 0.9.3.1

I’ll be replying to this thread with rants, ideas and basic spit balling on getting QT compiled/built in OSX. it seriously cant be this hard and I don’t like the fact that everything I’ve read says to “build in a 32-bit osx environment” …which is near impossible these days.

Time spent so far: 30 Hours and counting.

[AcidD]

With the above method for building feathercoind and the above dependancies installed, I receive this warning… currently on MacOS Sierra.

warning: 'OSMemoryBarrier' is deprecated: first deprecated in macOS 10.12 - Use
      std::atomic_thread_fence() from <atomic> instead [-Wdeprecated-declarations]

it’s not a major warning and does not affect the build process, seems to just be an updated way to do certain things with boost.

[looarn]

On Windows I try a lot for 0.9.3.1 but didn’t get the feathercoin-qt.exe compiled.

I have to use boost 1.57.0 (avoiding some errors).

And I finaly get it working with the last 0.3.9.2 version of Feathercoin.

Hope this help a bit. :)

Good luck !

PS : Can you provide the version of all dependencies? ;)

[Wellenreiter]

Also -at least on Linux- the –disable-hardening is not required. I’ve heard some rumors, that Windows has more problems with hardening and no Idea about OSX.

[AcidD]

@looarn i’ll get you the versions a little later…

Meenwhile…fuck knows how I’ve managed to get this to compile. I used boost from homebrew as it’s near impossible for me to build it myself…and I think that’s the main problem. Building boost on OSX.

After fucking around for hours…I can try to launch feathercoin-qt with the below command and you can see the error and the seg fault.

acids-MacBook-Pro:qt acid$ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/boost155/1.55.0_1/lib/ ./feathercoin-qt
Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!
Segmentation fault: 11

This is still v0.9.3.1

[Wellenreiter]

i’m not sure if OSX has dbus at all, but as said, I know nothing about OSX

you can try a ‘configure --with-qtdbus=no’ and try again

[AcidD]

@Wellenreiter thanks. I’m about to get on a 2 hour train to London so if there’s electric points on the train ill give that a go.

Will post updates in this thread.

[AcidD]

@Wellenreiter said in [DEV] MacOS - Build FeathercoinD v0.9.3.1:

i’m not sure if OSX has dbus at all, but as said, I know nothing about OSX

you can try a ‘configure --with-qtdbus=no’ and try again

So the above worked to remove the error:

Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!

now it crashes with just the Segfault 11

acids-MacBook-Pro:qt acid$ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/boost155/1.55.0_1/lib/ ./feathercoin-qt
Segmentation fault: 11

Will post the OSX crash log next.

@aciddude said in [DEV] MacOS - Build FeathercoinD v0.9.3.1:

…
…
So the above worked to remove the error:

Dynamic session lookup supported but failed: launchd did not provide a socket path, verify that org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is loaded!

now it crashes with just the Segfault 11

acids-MacBook-Pro:qt acid$ DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/boost155/1.55.0_1/lib/ ./feathercoin-qt
Segmentation fault: 11

Will post the OSX crash log next.

It was worth a try, at least. ;)

[AcidD]

All my investigation is pointing to this:

in the newer versions of Xcode and MacOS, the compiler/command-line tools no longer include GCC. It has sym links or aliases for gcc and g++ that just map back to Apples clang or clang++ …and while Apple claim it is the same, it isnt.

So I believe to compile on the newer MacOS’ - some of the major dependencies need to be recompiled with Apples clang.

It seems that boost is the main culprit and possibily QT as well. The problem is a “catch 22” you cant use things that are built with gcc along side things built with clang…or so google tells me…it all has to be built with the same compiler. I also have no idea what compiler homebrew uses to do their builds/bottles but I believe it’s gcc.

so I reckon if I can get gcc installed without xcode and compile everything with that, it should work…I think.

Another issue is that with MacOS Sierra specifically, it barely supports QT 5.7.0 - QT 5.6.0 or lower isn’t an option…

So in my head:
1 - get GCC installed in a clean environment
2 - attempt to rebuild boost with 32 and 64 bit binaries
3 - try to build FTC and everything else with GCC.

[ghostlander]

The last Apple GCC was v4.2.1. Newer releases directly from the GCC developers don’t support some Apple specific things which are required to compile Qt. It’s still possible to pull v4.2.1 from an old Xcode release and install it manually.

Thanks @ghostlander - You being a developer…do you have any recommendations ?

[AcidD]

Update:
I’ve gone as far back as OSX 10.9.5 inside Vmware.

I followed Lizhi’s instructions for building Feathercoin-qt …

without installing xcode, I was able to build everything, the build log looked similar to when you do it on Ubuntu or Centos (minimal warnings, or the warnings I’m used to seeing)

Still though, QT crashes with a Segfault 11.

feathercoind runs perfectly, starts syncing the blockchain and all.

[AcidD]

So I’ve managed to build the Wallet on MacOS 10.9.5

see screenshot here: https://i.snag.gy/ap6m4X.jpg

I’ve even managed to create a Feathercoin-qt.app (see the screenshot) - the APP is 61MB and I believe it has all the files needed for it to run…unfortunately running this on another mac, I get this error:

Fyi I had to build the Feathercoin-qt.App Manually as doing a “make deploy” shows the below

I swear I was able to create a static 160MB file on Centos for Feathercoin that included everything needed for it to run as “portable” or “standalone” I just cant remember the switches…

LDFLAGS=-static doesn’t seem to do anything.

[AcidD]

Ok so I believe …as per this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5259249/creating-static-mac-os-x-c-build

that we cannot use -static since OSX doesnt like/support it.

[wrapper]

Can we get away without the static build?

[AcidD]

Hi All,

Finally!! after many moons and sleepless nights, I’ve done it!!

I have a Static Binary that worked on a clean MacOS Sierra install…no other dependancies or software were installed on the test machine.

This was build with MacOS Sierra, Boost155, Protobuf260, QT 5.7.0.

Full 64-bit, none of this going back generations of OS’s just to get it to build…No nonsense from Acid!
