Building from git-source throws errors on OS X Yosemite

[ghost]

I downloaded the code using git and try to build glew from it. The commands used were

export GLEW_DEST=/usr/local/glew
make extensions
make

and the resulting error is

ld: dylib lib/libGLEW.dylib missing LC_ID_DYLIB load command file 'lib/libGLEW.dylib' for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

am I doing something wrong during the compilation?

Do you mind checking if 1.12.0 has the same problem. I'm still on OSX 10.9...

Some more of the failing build log might also help shed some light.

[ghost]

Sorry to ask but, where/how can I see the build log?

[nigels-com]

Everything on the console following the make command, would be helpful.

I downloaded today the latest commit cbd0dce and run the same commands as when opened the issue in OS X 10.10.5. The resulting output is the following

On my 10.10.5 the same commit builds fine. Could be some local issue.

$ cc --version
Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.53) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.5.0
Thread model: posix

This is my configuration

$ cc --version
Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.53) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.5.0
Thread model: posix

Looks pretty much the same. Could you post the commands you are executing?

[ghost]

I tried to debug the makefile to see what is missing. Using make -n the following lines are the ones to be executed

cc -O2 -Wall -W -Iinclude -dynamic -fno-common -ansi -pedantic -fPIC -o bin/glewinfo tmp/darwin/default/shared/glewinfo.o -Llib  -lGLEW  -framework OpenGL

and that line is the one that's breaking the make. Any clue?

[ghost]

Ok, somehow the strip commands are causing the error of ld: dylib lib/libGLEW.dylib missing LC_ID_DYLIB load command file 'lib/libGLEW.dylib' for architecture x86_64 I commented out all the lines calling the strip command and I was able to build glew, haven't tried it yet though.

[nigels-com]

Oh! Specify STRIP= on the command line, to disable that step.

[ghost]

But should I actually disable the strip command or should it work even with it?

[nigels-com]

Sounds like a bug or incompatibility between the compiler and strip. Stripping is optional, so use STRIP= to skip it.

[ghost]

Hope @tamaskenez share the building commands, because apparently it worked for him smoothly. I'll try the STRIP= and try to build a simple program.

[ghost]

Find a solution to building and linking to my app in the issue #13

[tamaskenez]

@BRabbit27 I used the exact 3 command from your first post

[ghost]

@nigels-com @tamaskenez do you have any idea on what could be the problem? I haven't made any major configuration change on my system.
Is there a way to compare some of your configuration with mine and try to narrow the problem?

[tamaskenez]

I'm not familiar with the LC_ID_DYLIB setting but let me know what I should check on my system and I'll post it here.
Also you can try to build it with CMake. You need the CMake tool in your path (the macports version is fine) and simply launch cmake-testbuild.sh

[ghost]

@tamaskenez yes, as I commented already, using cmake builds correctly the library. I guess is the same kind of building between Makefile and Cmake, so I don't understand why one works and the other don't.

I just might have to dust off my busted up old MacBook Pro and see if it can cope with Yosemite.

[nigels-com]

(I'm still holding out for a new MacBook Pro, even though Santa failed to deliver on that)

[nigels-com]

These worked for me on 10.12.1, closing.
Thanks for the report.
