v11.4 compile OS X 64 bit - different error

Try deleting the entire directory, and rerunning cmake.

Made no difference, will start from scratch again and run through whole process. Source was fetched with

bzr branch lp:stellarium stellarium

Then there is something wrong with your setup. I've never had an issue building this on any one of several Mac's, and several others do as well.

Will review the setup as attempts to build 11.3 got further than this.

Have upgraded Xcode to 4.4 and CMake to 2.8.9 and re-installed the Qt libraries. Reloaded source via bzr.

CMakeLists.txt now amended for apple and lists configure output as below. Are there any issues at this stage that would cause a fail to build? E.g. ICONV_SECOND_ARGUMENT_IS_CONST?

# best way to get to APPLE?
IF(APPLE)
 SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -fno-common -Wall -Wextra")
 SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -fno-common -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter")

 # uncomment one of the following, depending on minimum OS level you want
 #SET(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET "10.5")
 #SET(CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/")
 SET(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET "10.6")
 SET(CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/")

 # uncomment one of the following, depending on what platforms you want.
 # NOTE: Qt build for Cocoa is Intel only. Qt with Carbon is both, but does not seem
 # to handle 64bit well.
 #SET(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "i386;x86_64;ppc;ppc64")
 #SET(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "i386;x86_64")
 SET(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "x86_64")
ENDIF()

You do not need to touch the cmake file.

As I said before, you seem to have a very non-standard intstall. I'll see about updating the WIKI. But, all you need is:

- cmake from their own site
- Qt 4.8.2 from Qt (the 64bit Cocoa libs)
- MacPorts
-- sudo port install intltool (which will install all you need)
- bazaar from their own site
- Xcode, with the command line tools installed

Check out trunk
mkdir builds/unix
cd builds/unix
cmake ../..
make

And it will work. That's all that is needed.

My ports:
[~ ] port list installed
expat @2.1.0 textproc/expat
gdbm @1.10 databases/gdbm
gettext @0.18.1.1 devel/gettext
intltool @0.50.2 textproc/intltool
libiconv @1.14 textproc/libiconv
ncurses @5.9 devel/ncurses
p5.12-getopt-long @2.380.0 perl/p5-getopt-long
p5.12-pathtools @3.330.0 perl/p5-pathtools
p5.12-scalar-list-utils @1.230.0 perl/p5-scalar-list-utils
p5.12-xml-parser @2.400.0 perl/p5-xml-parser
perl5.12 @5.12.4 lang/perl5.12

I have done this on three different Mac's with three different versions of the OS.

If you still have issues, and really want to help, we can set up a Skype call, and see if I can help troubleshoot your setup.

Please try use only GCC or Clang compilers, not both in one time. As example, cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ ../..

Installed missing intltool and taking steps above get after bzr download:

Note - Xcode 4.4.1 has removed SDKs as it is now a self contained App, but they are commented out in CMakeLists anyway?

hmm... maybe you have worked GCC? Please try cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++ -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-arch x86_64" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-arch x86_64" ../..

Will probably leave this for a while as we do not want to spend too much time on it, as the official 64 bit build of 11.4 now works on my iMac whereas 11.3 crashed - which started the self-build testing. I have still to move up to Mountain Lion so the 'goal posts' will move again. Will research this and testing the auto build bot once I get to lastest OS version.

Many thanks to everyone for support so far!
