Compiling Harbour 3.4 in FreeBSD 11.1 amd64 - A full report

[Mario Lobo]

Hello to all.

First let me state that I succeeded in compiling harbour with all supported contribs under FreeBSD, and the apps and libraries of qtcontribs.
I'll post a similar report in the qtcontribs group.

Since I spent the month of October zeroed in on this (and qtcontribs also), I decided to post the most accurate report I could, describing the problems
I found and the steps I took to resolve them.


*** My system:

Platform: FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE amd64
Compiler: LLVM/Clang C 4.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_401/final) (64-bit)

Harbour 3.4 git pulled today.


=== Problems found ===

*** compile errors

1) I was having trouble compiling the following files:

contrib/xhb/filestat.c:
contrib/hbmzip/mzip.c
src/common/hbffind.c
src/common/hbfsapi.c
src/rtl/filebuf.c
src/rtl/filesys.c
src/rtl/fssize.c

because HB_USE_LARGEFILE64 is defined, and is triggering
the use of lseek64()/flock64()/ftruncate64()/stat64,
which do not exist on any FreeBSD amd64, and compilation stops
with:

stat64 undefined symbol

The terrible and completely ugly workaround I made to solve my
particular compilation problem was to edit all of the above .c files
and replaced all occurrences of:

#if defined( HB_USE_LARGEFILE64 )

with

#if defined( HB_USE_LARGEFILE64 ) && !defined( HB_OS_BSD )  

With these changes, compilation finishes without errors, and
everything works.

Although this solution solves a FreeBSD arch amd64 problem,
I'm sure it will cause problems for FreeBSD arch i386 compilation.

I know the intention in ChangeLog.txt:

2007-11-22 01:44 UTC+0100 Przemyslaw Czerpak (druzus/at/priv.onet.pl)

was to solve a problem but it created this one on BSD amd64 machines.

In bsd's case, the definition of HB_USE_LARGEFILE64 could be conditioned
to a detection of 'amd64' or 'i386'.

Perhaps

! HB_HOST_PLAT: bsd (x86_64)
! HB_PLATFORM: bsd (x86_64) (auto-detected)

could be used for this.



2) contribs hbmysql, sddmy and rddsql were not finishing compilation because
   they were not finding -lmysqlclient lib so I edited:
  
- added to contrib/hbmysql/hbmysql.hbc and contrib/sddmy/sddmy.hbc

{bsd}libpaths=/usr/local/lib/mysql

- added to contrib/rddsql/rddsql.hbc

libpaths=/usr/local/lib/mysql


3) found a small discrepancy: hbcups and hbicu were being skipped because hbmk was reporting
   it could no find the include files, despite:
  
export HB_WITH_ICU=/usr/local/include/unicode
export HB_WITH_CUPS=/usr/local/include/cups

Well, the project asks for:

export HB_WITH_MYSQL=/usr/local/include/mysql
export HB_WITH_CURL=/usr/local/include/curl
export HB_WITH_CAIRO=/usr/local/include/cairo
export HB_WITH_GS=/usr/local/include/ghostscript
export HB_WITH_MINIZIP=/usr/local/include/minizip

but in case of ICU and CUPS, it adds cups/cups.h and unicode/utypes.h
by itself. So in the case of these two, the correct form is:

export HB_WITH_ICU=/usr/local/include
export HB_WITH_CUPS=/usr/local/include

My small suggestion for consistency is to make these two have the same form as all the others but
it is not at all critical. It just took me a while to find out why they were not compiling since
I had everything needed by them.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** Libs linking errors (when compiling qtcontribs57.hbp)

A lot of qtcontribs link to libgtqtc.(so | a), and gtqt.hbp was not linking to Qt libraries,

so I edited contrib/gtqtc/gtqtc.hbc.

Changed

{bsd|darwin}libs=stdc++

to

{darwin}libs=stdc++
{bsd}libs=stdc++ Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets

and added the following lines to it.

{HBMK_HAS_QT5&bsd}ldflags=-L${HB_QT_DIR}
{HBMK_HAS_QT5&bsd}dflags=-L${HB_QT_DIR}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that, i exported the following:

export HB_OS_BSD=yes
export HB_USER_PRGFLAGS=-d__HB_QT_MAJOR_VER_5__
export HB_ARCHITECTURE=bsd
export HB_BUILD_VERBOSE=yes
export HB_BUILD_SHARED=yes

export HB_QTPATH=/usr/local/lib/qt5/bin
export HB_QT_DIR=/usr/local/lib/qt5
export HB_BUILD_ADDONS=qtcontribs57.hbp


I didn't need/want these:

export HB_WITH_ALLEGRO=no
export HB_WITH_FREEIMAGE=no
export HB_WITH_PGSQL=no
export HB_WITH_FIREBIRD=no
export HB_WITH_OCILIB=no



then gmake and gmake install

OBS - despite export HB_BUILD_ADDONS=qtcontribs57.hbp, qtcontribs doesn't build from here.

I tried the full path /usr/local/harbour/addons/qtcontribs57.hbp but it was a no go.


In the end, there it is!

I have attached the full compilation log, hbide and hbdbu screens, all natively compiled in FreeBSD 11.1

Please let me know your opinions and suggestions, and if I can be of any help or assistance.

I cannot thank Victor and Pitpal enough for providing these wonderful softwares.

I just found one extra error:

When compiling contribs/hbicu i was getting:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -licucore

The reason is that the shared libray libicucore.so doesn't exist in FreeBSD, and
this was causing the shared libs libsddsqlt3.so.3.4.0,  libhbsqlit3.so.3.4.0 and libhbicu.so.3.4.0
not to be generated.

Corrective action:

Edit  contrib/hbicu/hbicu.hbc and replace:

{HBMK_HAS_ICU&unix&!darwin}libs=icucore
{HBMK_HAS_ICU&unix&darwin}libs=icuuc icui18n icudata

with

{HBMK_HAS_ICU&unix&!(darwin|bsd)}libs=icucore
{HBMK_HAS_ICU&unix&(darwin|bsd)}libs=icuuc icui18n icudata

Hi Mario,

Thank you for all the info, it's clear and useful!

I'm going to process it into a commit and a reply

in the next few days.

Thanks for your tests and writing this report —

it really does help adjusting the source for this

platform.

 

*** My system:

Platform: FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE amd64
Compiler: LLVM/Clang C 4.0.1 (tags/RELEASE_401/final) (64-bit)

Harbour 3.4 git pulled today.


=== Problems found ===

*** compile errors

1) I was having trouble compiling the following files:

contrib/xhb/filestat.c:
contrib/hbmzip/mzip.c
src/common/hbffind.c
src/common/hbfsapi.c
src/rtl/filebuf.c
src/rtl/filesys.c 

src/rtl/fssize.c

because HB_USE_LARGEFILE64 is defined, and is triggering
the use of lseek64()/flock64()/ftruncate64()/stat64,

 

Since it's also unclear for me and have no FreeBSD to test it,

I'd prefer to leave this untouched for now and let someone

come up with the optimal way to handle this out-of-the-box.

2) contribs hbmysql, sddmy and rddsql were not finishing compilation because
   they were not finding -lmysqlclient lib so I edited:
  
- added to contrib/hbmysql/hbmysql.hbc and contrib/sddmy/sddmy.hbc

{bsd}libpaths=/usr/local/lib/mysql

I'm going to add these.

 

- added to contrib/rddsql/rddsql.hbc

libpaths=/usr/local/lib/mysql

rddsql.hbc is meant for the backend-agnostic engine code,

so it's not supposed to containe anything SQL backend

specific — it's probably unnecessary if the libpaths= in the

previous point are present. Similar should probably added

for PostgreSQL and MariaDB as well.

 

3) found a small discrepancy: hbcups and hbicu were being skipped because hbmk was reporting
   it could no find the include files, despite:
  
export HB_WITH_ICU=/usr/local/include/unicode
export HB_WITH_CUPS=/usr/local/include/cups

Harbour uses the canonical name to access library headers

and some projects do it like mylib/mylib.h. You can find it

out from the -depkeyhead= .hbp setting, or the .c sources.

export HB_WITH_MYSQL=/usr/local/include/mysql

export HB_WITH_CAIRO=/usr/local/include/cairo
export HB_WITH_GS=/usr/local/include/ghostscript
export HB_WITH_MINIZIP=/usr/local/include/minizip

I believe these would have been auto-detected without

these settings. The rest: I've added them to auto-detection.

 

*** Libs linking errors (when compiling qtcontribs57.hbp)

A lot of qtcontribs link to libgtqtc.(so | a), and gtqt.hbp was not linking to Qt libraries,

{darwin}libs=stdc++
{bsd}libs=stdc++ Qt5Core Qt5Gui Qt5Widgets

Fixed.

 

and added the following lines to it.

{HBMK_HAS_QT5&bsd}ldflags=-L${HB_QT_DIR}
{HBMK_HAS_QT5&bsd}dflags=-L${HB_QT_DIR}

Fixed, but differently. (HB_QT_DIR is user-defined, so

it's best not to rely on it)

export HB_OS_BSD=yes
export HB_ARCHITECTURE=bsd

The above can be safely deleted. 

 

export HB_QT_MAJOR_VER=5
export HBMK_DIR_QT5=/usr/local/lib/qt5/bin
export HB_QTPATH=/usr/local/lib/qt5/bin
export HB_QT_DIR=/usr/local/lib/qt5

If any of the above is necessary on a default system, it's a bug.

Only HB_WITH_QT should be needed. HBMK_DIR_QT5 is 

defined by hbmk2, so if manually setting fixes anything, it's a

bug as well.

 

export HB_BUILD_ADDONS=qtcontribs57.hbp 

OBS - despite export HB_BUILD_ADDONS=qtcontribs57.hbp, qtcontribs doesn't build from here.

 

I tried the full path /usr/local/harbour/addons/qtcontribs57.hbp but it was a no go.

This feature seems to have accumulated some regressions.

It was an experiment from 2010 that went nowhere, so I'm going

to remove it to make the core/contrib builds to unbundle it from

3rd party issues.

3.4 supports running `make.hb .` from any non-Harbour directory

to build projects just like it is utilized to build contribs, which is

a better answer to the problem.

Mario,

You can use the hbmk2 filter {lngcpp} to detect when C++ mode is enabled.

See: https://github.com/vszakats/harbour-core/blob/f75447614565d83c7eb196060a3155dadcc69bc2/config/hbpost.hbm#L32

Maybe it helps with QT projects.

Thanks for the update, Viktor!

Things are pretty hectic at work so I haven't had the time to try all your changes
but I'll git pull it tonight and  report my findings with details as soon as I have them.

Here are the errors that still vame up:

1)
adding this line

-deppkgname=minilzo:lzo2{pkg}

in hbmlzo.hbp caused the error bellow.

../../../../../contrib/hbmlzo/core.c:54:10: fatal error: 'minilzo.h' file not found
#include "minilzo.h"

in FreeBSD. The contrib/hbmlzo/3rd/minilzo doesn't get build, and there is no
minilzo port for FreeBSD any longer. It reports that it found minilzo in /usr/local/include/lzo
but thereis no minilzo.h there. The build fully stops here, so it is a no-go for BSD.

Erasing the above line from the .hbc normalizes everything.


2)
the lines bellow in contrib/hbicu/hbicu.hbc

{HBMK_HAS_ICU&unix&!darwin}libs=icucore
{HBMK_HAS_ICU&unix&darwin}libs=icuuc icui18n icudata

still couses hbicu libraries not to be build in FreeBSD.
They should be changed to:

{HBMK_HAS_ICU&unix&!(darwin|bsd)}libs=icucore
{HBMK_HAS_ICU&unix&(darwin|bsd)}libs=icuuc icui18n icudata

Other than these, all the other problems I reported are fixed!

I'll try to come up with an elegant solution for the

#if defined( HB_USE_LARGEFILE64 ) problem.

I will also test the lngcpp in qtcontribs (Thanks for the tip!)

Victor;

Since my last response I've been trying to implement the use "lngcpp" in qtcontribs for almost 4 hours
without getting anywhere, so I took a more radical approach. I hope that my tampering with your code doesn't upset you but
it really solved the problem I was having.

The changess are very small and it worked beatifully.

I implemented a new HB_USER_CPPFLAGS environment variable option in hbmk2.prg to be used only when a C++ compiler is invoked.

Hi Mario,

Thanks for the fixes, I've committed them.

Did you try this option?:

I confirm that!

Just to make sure that no dangling files of mines were left,
I git checkout to a clean directory and made no changes to anything.

Everything compiled just fine without any errors whatsoever.

Thank you!

Yes! I have tried it before and tried it again. No-go. The problem persists.

 In *nixes is absolutely common to have several env vars to fine tune compilation processes

so it is normal for them to deal with those different vars all the time.

You find things like CPUTYPE,  CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, COPTFLAGS, CC and CXX.

Like I said, In FreeBSD, clang won't run with an option meant for clang++. I know linux's

clang has an option -Wunused_command_line to turn the error into a warning and compilation can proceed but

it is not default. BSD clang doesn't have it.

FreeBSD's gcc/g++ has this behavior by default (no error, just a warning) but clang has been FBSD's default compiler for a while and,

in my humble opinion, is visibly faster and better.

I personally don't see an inconvenience of having HB_USER_CFLAGS and HB_USER_CPPFLAGS. If either is blank, it won't get set.

If you need the same option for both, just set both. I think of it as an extra flexibility. Yes, is is an opportunity for misconfiguration.

But assuming HB_USER_CFLAGS is good for both C and C++ also is, at least for BSD and linux.

In the *nix world there is a saying:

"UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things,
because that would also stop you from doing clever things."

But I'm aware that you have to converge a LOT of OS possibilities in your project, of which

I have no knowledge of, so I'll respect and submit to your much better judgment.

Mario Lobo

The proposed -cpp= option is supposed to pass the option you

need _only in C++ mode_ and it was implemented to address this

very problem with passing C++ flavours. It is already being used

when building GTQTC, and it does build correctly on FreeBSD

with this option.

[ See commit 9b27f5e7074d736fb6e1908f84ad6555dbfbde5f

@ 2011-04-21 03:11 ]

Assuming that the requirement should be the same for any

code built against QT5, the GTQTC build config should work

with e.g. HBQT.

So what I'd like to understand is why it isn't, and how come

the -cpp= option passes its flag even in C mode, if this is the

case.

Like I said to Pritpal, I am not able to find where in the qtcontribs.hbp hierarchy where should the -cpp option go.

[Mario Lobo]

Ok! Found it. Inserting -cpp=iso11 on any of the projetct files worked so I tried the only thing (and most obvious thing) I haven't tried:

hbmk2 -cpp=iso11 qtcontribs57.hbp

And it worked!!

Please forgive my previous dumb attempts.

I think it should be added to hbqt/hbqt_common.hbm.

(It's already present in hbqt_common.hbc — for app —,

so that should be okay.)

Viktor;

My next step is to create an official port of harbour for FreeBSD
and submit it to the FBSDF team for approval to be incorporated
in the ports tree.

The port will be based solely on your fork.
Please let me know if you have any objections to that.

Regards,

Mario

[vszakats]

Hi Mario,

No objections from my part.

It raises the question of what name to use. Since I haven't

come up with any distinct name to differentiate my fork —

one solution is just to regard it as a subset/continuation of

mainline (non-fork) Harbour.

-Viktor

-Viktor

[Mario Lobo]

Since there is already a port for harbour under lang/harbour (but it is
still the 3.0.0 version), I think harbour-devel could be a good name for it,
as it is the standard call in freeBSD ports, and it also fits the subset/continuation
quality you wish for it.

Mario

 

[vszakats]

Ouch, that's pretty bad.

I'd think the 3.0.0 is worse as if there wasn't there anything.

It's an old version with a million issues fixed since.

-Viktor

[Mario Lobo]

Tell me about it!

That's why I want to rush with this port.

Mario

[Michael Green]

What is the status of harbour-devel, I can't find it in Freshports. Thanks.

Shameless bump 

[Mario Lobo]

Man .. I haven't had the time to prepare the port since I started this thread. Things have been hectic and I'm really busy at work.

But as sson as it slows down I'll do it. Hopefully during an upcoming vacation.

No worries, as they say in the antipodes. I'm on 3.0.0 from the FreeBSD ports collection and it seems to work ok, but someone here said something about bugs, so I though I'd enquire.  

[Michael Green]

Any news regarding a FreeBSD port of 3.4?
