64-bit builds for OSX using moduleset

[Antoine Martin]

Split from #533. See ticket:533#comment:77

Minor fixes + tweaks already done: r9089, r9090.

Things that need fixing:

• the moduleset needs updating, adding cups, etc as per the comments in #533.
• fix the pyobjc build failure
• detect when trying to run on a 32-bit system and provide a helpful error message
• add new download links for it
• nice-to-have: libvpx 1.4 (see failure in ticket/832#comment:1, still fails on 64-bit..)

That's it!

[Antoine Martin]

FWIW: I've uploaded a beta 0.15.0 build which works quite well, see ​http://xpra.org/beta/osx/x86_64.

@afarr: it would be worth playing with it a bit to see if there are any other issues - stability issues (or even improvements), or if there are any differences in performance, etc..

[Antoine Martin]

See also:

• #680 (GTK3)
• ​Building 64-bit PyObjC Applications With Py2app
• ​pyobjc changelog

@smo: you may want to post the errors to the pyobjc mailing list, that's the blocker. The rest is relatively easy or optional.

[Antoine Martin]

Lots of builds updates, see ticket:533#comment:79 and later comments.
In particular: r9123 which removes lots of i386

[Antoine Martin]

See also #984

[Smo]

Updated in r10674 from upstream. We may still need to make further updates to this for our needs.

[Smo]

This is still on hold until we can get gstreamer up to date.

[Smo]

Can we reschedule this for a further release. Unless you think 64bit builds are not worth the bother and we can just close this.

[Antoine Martin]

Re-scheduling. Worth doing, maybe after the next LTS so we have both 32-bit and 64-bit.

[Smo]

Tried this myself today on osx 10.9.5 didn't get as far as I hoped some weird issue here.

Doesn't appear to be a 64bit issue really just some sort of broken perl module?

[Smo]

Building on 10.11.1 with xcode 7.1 and these were the ones that failed

*** the following modules were not built *** [97/97]
libvpx sdl gst-plugins-bad-xpra pygtkglext meta-osx-xpra-deps

sdl was missing headers for X
libvpx needs updating to 1.5.0 which builds fine need to update moduleset

gst-plugins-bad-xpra failed to build with an error about ssl header files we might be able to disable this

In file included from gstapexraop.c:33:

pygtkglext failed with this error

gdkglext.override:36:10: fatal error: 'GL/gl.h' file not found
#include <GL/gl.h>

[Antoine Martin]

• we don't need SDL
• for libvpx, can we add a moduleset per version, or add one via the customrc file?
• pygtkglext needs the opengl headers and libs to link against, which may have moved: ​Where are the OpenGL header files located on MacOSX?

[Smo]

gtk/gdkgl/gdkglext.c change to #include <OpenGL/gl.h> afterwards this builds no problem.

I'm not sure about having multiple modulesets at the moment I include it by url in customrc file but one of the files that gets included also has a url we include from svn trunk

[Antoine Martin]

This should allow us to get libyuv on osx: ticket:973#comment:3

[Antoine Martin]

Should be a priority for the next milestone.

[Smo]

Still having issues trying to do this now I think its an issue with jhbuild during the configure phase of x264 it produces this stacktrace

[Antoine Martin]

Any progress? We can skip x264 and do it by hand if need be.

Blocker for #1231.

[Smo]

The problem is with libdir replacement in those strings maybe this isn't needed anymore since if I remove it I can compile this package through jhbuild.

I will commit fix for this shortly to trunk. Looks like a similar issue with ffmpeg as well.

[Antoine Martin]

This does not look ready to me, or I need some more precise instructions.

Following, more or less: ​https://winswitch.org/dev/macosx.html but with the new customrc on a 10.10 system. Found some useful commands along the way:

$ sw_vers -productVersion
10.10.5
$ xcrun --show-sdk-version
10.11
$ xcrun --show-sdk-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk

---

And now for the (long) list of problems:

• during boostrap:

  ERROR: no certificate subject alternative name matches
  	requested host name `cmake.org'.
  

• more problematic during the build step:

  *** Configuring itstool *** [5/116]
  (..)
  checking for python module libxml2... ./configure: line 2422: 16059 Done                    echo "import $py_module"
       16060 Abort trap: 6           | python - >&/dev/null
  not found
  configure: error: Python module libxml2 is needed to run this package
  

Probably the same cause as this other error:

I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd
(..)

And another related one (as I found out much later..):

Same for gst-python and most python modules, pango (gtk-doc), gtk-mac-integration, librsvg, gtk-engines, gtk-quartz-engine ..
It tries to build pycairo-python2.6 - that looks wrong.
Looks like we want to force python to build earlier. I found that out later, after much time wasted. Most python modules then build OK.
Maybe just a _gtk_osx_use_jhbuild_python = True line?
Or maybe I was meant to build meta-osx-xpra-deps and not just a plain build?

• the gi bindings end up missing, see ticket:1204#comment:4
• gst-plugins-bad errors out on openssl, we need to build openssl earlier
• a lot of the sound codecs seem to get built after the gstreamer plugins, that looks wrong?
• gtkglext errors out with the KeyError: u'libdir' problem.
• gtk is still at 2.24.28?
• gdk-pixbuf error: C compiler cannot create executables
• librvg is missing gdk-pixbuf
• gst-plugins-bad-1.0: errors on missing gir files
• python-pyobjc-framework-cocoa errors on cannot find protocol declaration for 'NSProgressReporting', cannot find protocol declaration for 'NSURLSessionStreamDelegate'
• spotted this in gst-libav, which looks wrong:

  Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
  

• lots of other modules need to be updated for https (and forced to use curl for download?):
  • hicolor-icon-theme now lives here: ​https://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases/hicolor-icon-theme-0.13.tar.gz
  • cairo: ​https://www.cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.14.0.tar.xz
  • py2cairo: ​https://www.cairographics.org/releases/py2cairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2
  • liboil: ​https://liboil.freedesktop.org/download/liboil-0.3.17.tar.gz
  • all the gstreamer downloads, ie: orc got moved to ​https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/orc/orc-0.4.25.tar.xz
  • Cython: ​https://pypi.python.org/packages/b1/51/bd5ef7dff3ae02a2c6047aa18d3d06df2fb8a40b00e938e7ea2f75544cac/Cython-0.24.tar.gz
  • pkg-config
  • pixman
• it rebuilds openssl every time, which makes things painfully slow
• subversion has even more problems
• the opengl build error can be solved with ln -sf /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Headers /Users/osx/gtk/inst/include/GL

[Antoine Martin]

At some point we will have to switch the existing build environment to a locked version, and move forward with the trunk / 64-bit / newer build env.
Until then, r12959 fixes building ffmpeg but this may also get in the way of supporting webcam capture in the future (we can't have both..).

[Antoine Martin]

Milestone renamed

[Antoine Martin]

FYI: bumped to ​openssl 1.1.0 in r13481, which requires a newer perl version than the one available on my 10.5.x VM, so then I had to figure out how to build the latest stable perl there:

tar -zxvf perl-5.24.0.tar.gz 
cd perl-5.24.0
./Configure -des -Dprefix={JHBUILD_PREFIX} \
    -Accflags="-arch i686 -I{JHBUILD_PREFIX}/include/ -L{JHBUILD_PREFIX}/lib/" \
    -Aldflags="-arch i686 -I{JHBUILD_PREFIX}/include/ -L{JHBUILD_PREFIX}/lib/"
make && make install

Bonus: this version seems to install cleanly without needing a chmod.
Downside: python-cryptography needs updating to 1.5 to support openssl 1.1 : ​https://cryptography.io/en/latest/changelog/. (done in r13482)

@smo: if that works for you, please add perl to the moduleset.

[Smo]

Okay I ran into the perl issue as well.

I will add this to the moduleset but should we require it or leave it as an optional thing on older systems that need it?

[Antoine Martin]

Hopefully we will be moving to a newer 64-bit build system soon, so this should be optional.

[Smo]

r13692:13695 adds perl

Was some issues with the configure line since it is non standard. Not sure if I need to add the cc and ld flags so I left them out for now.

If the new openssl seems to install properly i'll see if I can remove some of the hacks from the moduleset for installing it in the first place.

[Smo]

Tried with the latest changes to the moduleset on 64 bit. Seems to get further now. I got this error today

build/temp.macosx-10.9-x86_64-2.7/_openssl.c:415:10: fatal error: 'openssl/opensslv.h' file not found
#include <openssl/opensslv.h>
         ^
1 error generated.
error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit status 1
*** Error during phase build of python-cryptography: ########## Error running python setup.py build *** [106/119]

Confirmed that openssl is installed.

[Antoine Martin]

Using 10.10+ as a build platform will also allow us to fix #404 and #1305

[Antoine Martin]

Tried again as part of #1340:

• got an error with librsvg not finding gdk-pixbuf gir
• ffmpeg complained about missing libvpx
• occasionally had to switch things around with ​code-select: jhbuild requires the developer path but compiling things require the command line tools.. PITA - how do get get both to work at the same time?

[Antoine Martin]

Also a blocker for #1340.

[Antoine Martin]

gstreamer 1.10: ​https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.10/.

[Antoine Martin]

After moving to a newer build host, we can start using a number of new APIs and do:

• #776
• webcam support

etc

[Antoine Martin]

I have pointed my 10.5.x build VM to the stable 1.0.x branch after merging the latest set of safe updates (r14622).
Now we can start "breaking" things again to make 64-bit builds work properly, I am building on 10.10.x with xcode 7.2.1:

• r14623: libvpx 1.6.0 + ffmpeg webcam (+ r14625 to fix the same error as comment:15, fix hinted in comment:17 but without a link to the actual commit)
• r14624: openssl 1.1.x now that we have a newer python 2.7.3 (r14619)
• drop gstreamer 0.10: r14628 + r14629, r14630 + r14632
• 64bit package naming: r14633

After that:

• jhbuild buildone -f openssl to make sure it is rebuilt before python (this should probably be in the moduleset instead)
• jhbuild build -f - and wait a while (see minor fixes below)
• make a signed build in one swoop (based on the instructions in ticket:1340#comment:19):

  security unlock-keychain -p THEACCOUNTPASSWORD
  export CODESIGN_KEYNAME="Antoine Martin"
  ./make-all.sh
  

• the resulting DMG / PKG are not much smaller than before: ​http://xpra.org/beta/osx

---

Things left TODO:

• openssl is still a pain to build + install, still requires

  chmod +x ${JHBUILD_PREFIX}/lib/libssl.* ${JHBUILD_PREFIX}/lib/libcrypto.*
  

• the gi bindings are missing and we really need those for gstreamer.. but [ ​https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy libepoxy] won't build (could be related to ​Adds support for OS X without X11), and it is required by GTK3, which is needed by the gobject-introspection module... I still managed to build it with jhbuild buildone -f pygobject3
• gstreamer 1.10.x (version bumped in r14627, fix for gst-plugins-bad in r14631): downloads fail because they redirect to https and we get a certificate issue, again (as found in comment:19)
• speex codec is missing, needs adding to moduleset?
• pyobjc-core moaned:

  error: SDK root '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk' does not exist
  

Not sure why it has the same path 3 times as the command it runs to get that path only returns it once, but running like this allows me to move on:

export SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk
python ./setup.py build
python ./setup.py install

• IIRC, some versions of glib / gi were held back for compatibility reasons (with what?) - can we move forward again?

---

Note: there is a weird setup issue on my 10.10.x system which forces me to switch to command line tools to ensure the build finds gcc / clang but switch back to "developer" mode to launch jhbuild:

• sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
• sudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

[Antoine Martin]

Updates:

• r14648 removes libdir from gtkglext
• r14647 fixes mpfr download link, r14649 uses a reliable link (one that will not expire when the next release comes out), r14650 (undoes an unwanted change)
• r14646 opus update to 1.1.3
• r14645 fixes openssl install (no longer installed every time or needing chmod)
• r14651 + r14652 + r14653: use "1.0" suffix for gstreamer modules, enable gobject-introspection

[Antoine Martin]

• r14656 updates to libpng 1.6.27 following ​fix a potential "NULL dereference" bug
• r14660 adds speex

Some of these updates have been applied to the v1.0.x branch: r14657 (libpng), r14658 (mpfr), r14659 (opus)

---

TODO:

• pygobject3 dependency? (build gtk3, surely that can be fixed?)
• gi / glib updates?

Will ignore: pyobjc and other build env weirdness for now.

We can follow up in #1404.
