Failure with Carthage for Mac build

[skreutzberger]

While installing GRDB 0.6.1 via Carthage with a Mac as platform I get the following failure:

Hello @skreutzberger,

I can't reproduce your issue:

$ carthage version
0.16.2
$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 7.3.1
Build version 7D1014
$ cat Cartfile
github "groue/GRDB.swift" ~> 0.61.0
$ carthage update
*** Cloning GRDB.swift

Can you give more context?

I tried it now with different carthage update calls (with and without platform) but it still does not work. Here a screenshot

In the log file it says:

checking for library containing fdatasync... none required
checking for library containing dlopen... none required
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating sqlcipher.pc
config.status: creating config.h

make: *** No rule to make target `/Users/sebastian/...PATHTOPROJECT...', needed by `Makefile'.  Stop.
Command /bin/sh failed with exit code 2

Interestingly it works without any issues if I download the project and build the OSX target by myself.

The building of the GRDBCipher frameworks have a long history of trouble with Carthage (previous issue: #41).

GRDBCipher needs to build sqlite from scratch, with a Makefile. The issue used to be that environment variables were not properly set, causing make to fail. I'm not even sure of the actual responsible of those issues: is it Carthage, Xcode, the build tools? Finding a workaround has been everything but trivial.

But in your case, I'm not sure this is the same issue, even though make is involved again.

My advice: try to activate the most verbose flags, and open the sharpest eye. I'll try to help you investigate. But until your trouble can be reproduced, my efficiency will be fairly limited.

[skreutzberger]

Understood. To save time I will embed the framework directly and try to find the issue later.

[groue]

All right @skreutzberger. I'll be there when you come back!

I'm also having issues using GRDB with Carthage. This seems to be the failing step:

Builds just fine if I embed the project file in my Xcode project. I'm on the Swift3 branch. Xcode 8 beta 6.

Let me know if there's anything else I can provide to help with debugging. :) Embedding works for now, so no hurry.

Hello @simme Thanks for the report. Something has to be done with Carthage, I agree. The setup is too fragile.
