Summary0013765: Failed to link against framework in /Library/Framework when CMAKE_OSX_* variables are set
DescriptionFailed to link against framework in /Library/Framework when CMAKE_OS_* variables are set

The problem occurs when using:
  - CMake 2.8.10.2
  - mac OSX 10.8
  - XCode Version 4.5.2 (4G2008a)
  - g++ --version i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-g++-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)

After installing qt 4.7.4: ftp://ftp.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-mac-opensource-4.7.4.dmg [^]

This small project allows to reproduce the problem.

$ git clone git://github.com/jcfr/CMakeWithQtFramework.git [^]
$ mkdir CMakeWithQtFramework-build
$ cd CMakeWithQtFramework-build
$ cmake ../
[…]

$ make VERBOSE=1
[…]

By manually adding -F /Library/Frameworks to the build line, it succeed.

 /usr/bin/c++ -arch x86_64 -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.8 -Wl,-search_paths_first -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names CMakeFiles/foo.dir/main.cpp.o -o foo -framework QtWebKit -framework QtXmlPatterns -framework QtGui -framework QtNetwork -framework QtCore -F /Library/Frameworks/

I would assume that CMake should automatically add the "-F /Library/Frameworks/"

You're asking the build to use a given SDK but that SDK does not provide the frameworks you're using. On older Mac versions e.g. 10.6 the SDKs had a symlink to make /Library/Frameworks available. CMake needs to account for the lack of this symlink in newer versions.
(0031789)
Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin   
2012-11-30 15:38   
As a workaround, to create the symlinks, should I use something like:

for file in `ls -1 /Library/Frameworks/`; do sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/$file /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/$file; done

.. or is there a simpler way ?

Re 0013765:0031789: I think adding "-F /Library/Frameworks" to CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS, CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS, and CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS in your build tree is the simplest workaround. Don't hack your system files for this.

Since I would like to be able to build Slicer with superbuild VTK, CTK (superbuilding itself PythonQt, QTTesting ...) .. it gonna be a painful process to ensure the flag is properly added in all the project relying on Qt. I would have to patch all these projects ...

The time being, I think I will simply create the symlinks ...

Brad King   
2012-12-03 09:30   
Re 0013765:0031791: If you create the symlinks then you should do something like

 mkdir /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/Library
 ln -s /Library/Frameworks /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/Library/

instead. I think just that one link will be enough.

Just tried the single symlink approach and it wasn't successful.

Using this approach works:

cd /Library/Frameworks

for file in Qt*; do sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/$file /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/$file; done

for file in Qt*; do sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/$file /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/$file; done

Also need to create link for phonon framework

Brad King

Add "-Wl,-v" to the link line by hand to get verbose output about the framework search path in use.

Maybe related : when using the following file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.10)
project(two_frameworks)

list(APPEND CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
    /Users/dmerejkowsky/.local/share/qi/toolchains/mac64/ogre/)


list(APPEND CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
  /Users/dmerejkowsky/.local/share/qi/toolchains/mac64/ogre/)


find_library(OGRE_LIBRARIES NAMES Ogre)
find_library(QT_LIBRARIES NAMES QtCore)

add_executable(foo foo.cpp)
target_link_libraries(foo ${OGRE_LIBRARIES} ${QT_LIBRARIES})


and building, you can see the generated command line looks like:

/usr/bin/c++ -Wl,-search_paths_first -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names CMakeFiles/foo.dir/foo.cpp.o -o foo -F/Users/dmerejkowsky/.local/share/qi/toolchains/mac64/ogre -F/Users/dmerejkowsky/.local/share/qi/toolchains/mac64/qt -framework Ogre -framework QtCore


Note the lack of -F/Users/dmerejkowsky/.local/share/qi/toolchains/mac64/qt

The problem did not occur in CMake 2.8.9, and I can reproduce this with CMake 2.8.10

From Steve Pieper - See http://na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2954 [^]

On mac os 10.8 with xcode 4.6 and cmake version 2.8.10.20130215-g57833 (the latest next branch as of today).

Trying to build a module results in the following kind of error:

@Steve: Do you confirm that the QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE variable from the CMakeCache.txt points to Qt having Frameworks ? If it points to a Qt you built yourself, the problem wouldn't occur.
(0032295)
Steve Pieper   
2013-02-15 13:47   
Both slicer and the CMakeWithQtFramework are using /usr/bin/qmake, which is:

0000019 NewModule-build (master %>)$ qmake --version
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.3 in /Library/Frameworks

0000020 NewModule-build (master %>)$ which qmake
/usr/bin/qmake
(0032296)
Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin   
2013-02-15 14:01   
In that case, it seems to be specific to Slicer. Could you provide remote access to Brad ?
(0032297)
Steve Pieper   
2013-02-15 14:10   
I only have the issue with my laptop right now. Let me see if I can replicate it on a machine with a public IP where I can give him an account.

But I agree this is something specific to building slicer loadable modules.

The cmake nightly solved this problem for me.

OSX 10.7
xcode 4.6 (4H127)
cmake-2.8.10.20130213-g7665b (built from source)

However, I had infinite loop instead, linked here in case it is related.

@Greg: I did some experiment and CMake version "2.8.10.20130121-g92bd8" is known to work. See http://slicer-devel.65872.n3.nabble.com/How-to-build-Slicer-on-10-8-tp4027602p4027604.html [^]

On the other hand, I was able to reproduce the hang using version "cmake-2.8.10.20130215-g4c900".

I suggest we close this issue.

While it is possible to build Slicer without any trouble. There is issue to build Slicer extensions against Slicer build tree.

The experiment has been documented here: http://na-mic.org/Mantis/view.php?id=2954#c8038 [^]

If needed, I could:
 1) Provide access to the machine with a build tree
 2) Provide the complete link command

This issue is resolved AFAICT. Please do not re-open it unless you have a minimal example project that reproduces it on more than one computer. Keep the discussion over in Slicer's issue until you've identified that it is really a CMake problem and narrowed it down to a minimal example. The details of narrowing the case from Slicer's build process to a small example are not of interest to this issue.
