`mu --with-emacs` compile fails on macOS Sierra 10.12.3 #11476

jfmercer · 2017-03-22T16:46:42Z

Bug report:

Default Troubleshooting

Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
Ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried your prior step?
Confirmed this is a problem with specific formulae and not Homebrew/brew? If it's a general Homebrew/brew problem please file this issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/new

Expected Behavior

I expected brew install mu --with-emacs to install without error.

Actual Behavior

brew install mu --with-emacs fails on macOS Sierra 10.12.3. In contrast, brew install mu works just fine.

Attempted Diagnosis

The build logs may be difficult to follow, so here's what I did.

Initially, the install failed with this error:

Package guile-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `guile-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Installing guile did not fix the problem, so I edited the formula to disable guile. I also disabled gtk & webkit for good measure. In short, I changed this:

    system "./configure", "--disable-dependency-tracking",
                          "--prefix=#{prefix}",
                          "--with-lispdir=#{elisp}"

to this:

    system "./configure", "--disable-dependency-tracking",
                          "--prefix=#{prefix}",
                          "--with-lispdir=#{elisp}",
                          "--disable-gtk",
                          "--disable-guile",
                          "--disable-webkit"

I've put my (failed) additions on my own branch.

The build log is here.

I tried this both with the standard emacs formula and emacs-plus, but got the same result from both. I also set $EMACS to /usr/local/bin/emacs without success.

Related Issues

I failed to compile mu manually and filed an issue with mu itself.

FWIW, the maintainer of mu responded to my issue about mu not compiling (this is without homebrew). Apparently, gawk, not awk, needed to be installed and linked to fix the compile issue.

I had to use gmake rather than make. The current homebrew formula uses make.

ilovezfs · 2017-03-26T16:21:23Z

I cannot reproduce this issue, I'm afraid, but it sounds like you've got it sorted out.

academikuser · 2017-05-03T08:20:40Z

Same issue today. mu4e worked yesterday, today gave an error 6, tried reinstall. came here.

benyomin · 2017-05-03T09:37:08Z

really want to revert to HEAD-9798d1f can't

brew install mu --with-emacs

or install from source. totally stuck

danielsmw · 2017-05-03T12:30:03Z

Using brew edit mu, I added the following lines:

ENV.append_path "C_INCLUDE_PATH", "#{prefix}/gmime/include/gmime-2.6"
ENV.append_path "CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH", "#{prefix}/gmime/include/gmime-2.6"
ENV.append_path "CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH", "#{prefix}/gmime/lib"

to the formula starting on line 44 (in the install section for gmime), and got a successful compilation. The formula is manually installing the needed version of gmime, but isn't pointing clang to it properly during compilation.

(I'm not sure if the first line I added is strictly necessary, but unfortunately I don't have time to keep playing around this morning now that I've gotten it to work.)

academikuser · 2017-05-03T17:08:09Z

I think I made the changes correctly. Thank you for the detailed

brew edit mu

command, I hadn't used that one before.

def install
 resource("gmime").stage do
   system "./configure", "--prefix=#{prefix}/gmime", "--disable-introspection"
   system "make", "install"
   ENV.append_path "PKG_CONFIG_PATH", "#{prefix}/gmime/lib/pkgconfig"

                      "--disable-gtk",
                      "--disable-webkit"

Still getting an error.

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
./configure scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and what additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:
/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Programs/gdal-config

Warning: Python is installed at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework

Homebrew only supports building against the System-provided Python or a
brewed Python. In particular, Pythons installed to /Library can interfere
with other software installs.

If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when

@academikuser if you could take care of those warnings it would help to debug.

neurolit · 2017-05-05T08:01:03Z

Hi! As I said in another issue, installing Mono should solve @academikuser problem.

krydos · 2017-05-06T14:59:14Z

Solution without Mono

Here is recipe to build it without Mono - https://gist.github.com/KryDos/d306d6453ad0f30b55468aecc8eb09a3
Nothing is changed except def install => resource("gmime") section

Description

I didn't try solution by @neurolit since Mono is pretty big dependency as for me. But thanks anyway!

I never dived into how Homebrew works but here I noticed brew edit command which is really great :)

So, I researched a bit and found that gmime package (required by mu) can be compiled with --disable-mono option (and actually it was compiled with this option before 3.0.0 version). At this stage it compiles but mu isn't working because something wrong with linker.
But if I manually set GMIME_LIBS and GMIME_CFLAGS then it works.

Would you accept pull request for this? But I'm actually not sure what I fixed and I don't even know what is pkgconfig which is probably something related

krydos · 2017-07-24T07:33:53Z

Just tried to install it again on another computer and noticed it doesn't work with --HEAD option 😞
But without the option everything is fine...

drielsma · 2017-09-15T13:58:52Z

Thank you so much for documenting this @krydos I've been going crazy trying to figure this out.
