Help needed to build Firebird 4.x on MacOS arm (m2)

[Grzegorz Żyła]

I read a thread on GH about compiling on macOS with ARM M1 and I'm trying to do it on M2.
I installed the brew packages and currently I'm stuck on linking.

ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')

I recommend starting with v5 build and make it work.

Perhaps if you put all commands you are using and put the whole log in pastebin it may help.

in sequence:
1. MacOS Ventura, M2 processor
2. Installed brew gcc13 - I used https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/issues/7041 as a guide
3. icu4c installed
4. export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/include"
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/include:$PATH"
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/lib:$PATH"
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/binutils/bin:$PATH"
5. ./configure --with-builtin-tommath --with-builtin-tomcrypt
6. make

Why you installed gcc?

Mac build should use xcode/clang.


Adriano

[Grzegorz Żyła]

because this is ARM and from the github thread I quoted, it appeared that compilations go with gcc from homebrew.

I don't think it is. AFAIK gcc by default is alias to clang in mac.

Adriano

[Grzegorz Żyła]

ok, so second try is... fb v5 from github.

i follow the description https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/blob/v5.0-release/doc/README.build.macosx.md

and brew unlink gcc

now gcc i clang

./autogen

make

and..

-L/Users/grzegorzzyla/Programming/fbv5.0-release/gen/Release/firebird/lib -L/Users/grzegorzzyla/Programming/fbv5.0-release/temp/Release -lfbclient -ltommath -ltomcrypt -install_name @rpath/plugins/libEngine13.dylib

[Grzegorz Żyła]

and other try for 4.0.4 from GitHub

without gcc 13, only clang

export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/include

export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/lib

export LIBTOOL=glibtool

export LIBTOOLIZE=glibtoolize

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/lib:$PATH"

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/include:$PATH"

./autogen.sh

make

and...

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make gpre

rm -f metadata.fdb

Are you sure it also uninstalled binutils?


Adriano

[Grzegorz Żyła]

no, binutils has not been removed. I will remove it and let you know.

[Grzegorz Żyła]

v6 built without errors, tests without errors, pkg done.
v5 same :)
now time for 4.0.4

[Grzegorz Żyła]

v4 same problem with icu lib

[Grzegorz Żyła]

but, when i use prepare and compile from this package https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/files/7644557/fb_3.0.8_darwin_aarch64.zip

build is ok, but i have the same problem as here https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/issues/7041#issuecomment-993009011

how to build pkg?

[Grzegorz Żyła]

Uff!! Sucessfull :)

Thank you for your patience
 solution is zip from @e787 and uncommenting a few lines in compile.sh

[Grzegorz Żyła]

the last question is... where does the installer install Firebird by default on macOS?

.github/workflows/main.yml is a place you can look:

/Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework
