Cmake crash during VTS setup

[SukanyaGavhane]

CMakeError.log
We are trying to setup VTS on MacOS (tried on Mojave & Catalina), but the cmake is getting crashed while configuring in CmakeError.log file we are getting following error.

_"Build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE.build/Debug/cmTC_9581d.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/HAVE_JNI_H.dia -c /Users/ncircletech/Desktop/Sukanya/GitRepository/VTS\ Build/CMakeFiles/CheckIncludeFiles/HAVE_JNI_H.c -o /Users/ncircletech/Desktop/Sukanya/GitRepository/VTS\ Build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE.build/Debug/cmTC_9581d.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/HAVE_JNI_H.o

** BUILD FAILED **

the following build commands failed:

• For more details I have attached cmake crash log file with this query.

2. Also we have tried to setup VTS through cmd,
   • While performing the same we got following error,
   CMake Error at externals/browser/browser/CMakeLists.txt:9 (include):
   include could not find load file:
   buildsys/cmake/buildsys.cmake
   CMake Error at externals/browser/browser/CMakeLists.txt:10 (enable_hidden_visibility):
   Unknown CMake command "enable_hidden_visibility".

So can you please suggest any guidelines on this?
Any inputs would be really appreciated!

Did you clone the repository recursively? I.e. do you have checked out submodules?

[SukanyaGavhane]

Yes. We have clone the repository recursively and also we have check the submodules.

Please create a new empty folder and run the following script in it:

(
echo "versions:" &&
sw_vers &&
git --version &&
cmake --version &&
clang --version &&
echo "git:" &&
git clone https://github.com/melowntech/vts-browser-cpp-build-wrapper.git vts-builder &&
cd vts-builder &&
git submodule update --init --recursive &&
echo "ls:" &&
ls -l externals/browser/browser/buildsys/cmake &&
echo "build" &&
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG ..
) 2>&1 | tee vts-build-output.txt

Afterwards, post here the file vts-build-output.txt.

Thanks.

Hello tomas,
Thank you so much for your feedback.

I have attached vts-build-output.txt file.
Kindly check and let me know your comments on this.

Do you have somehow nonstandard configuration of new lines? I do not understand how all the 'command not found' has got there.

Anyway, it has corrupted the last command, so please go into the vts-builder folder and run the following command:

rm -R build && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG .. 2>&1 | tee vts-build-output-2.txt

Be warned that the command starts with removing a folder - double check where you are running it.

Afterwards, post the new vts-build-output-2.txt file.

Thanks.

Hello tomas,
Thank you so much for your quick feedback.

I have attached vts-build-output-2.txt.

Also, I observed that in the above output file the process of "Configurating" and "Generating" is done, which implies the respective solutions should get generated in build directory, but still I don't see any xcode solutions generated over there.

Kindly check and let me know your comments on this.

[malytomas]

Awesome,

just run this in the same folder as previously:

rm -R build && mkdir build && cd build && cmake -GXcode .. 2>&1 | tee vts-build-output-3.txt

This will generate xcode project instead of a makefile.

Hello Tomas,

Thank you so much for your support.
With the help of this i am able to generate and build the project .

Also i am not able to understand what is the exact reason to crash Cmake UI?
is this to be built using commandline only ? is it a bug on Cmake side?

Do you have any inputs on it ?
If so it will be helpful for further development.

Based on this:

CMake Error at externals/browser/browser/CMakeLists.txt:9 (include):
include could not find load file:
buildsys/cmake/buildsys.cmake

I suspect that you, indeed, had incorrectly cloned the repository, or that some symlinks have got corrupted, but I cannot say for sure.

Cmake Gui should work. But I never tried it.

Perhaps you can try to clone the repository the same way as in the script I send you, in some another new folder, and try the cmake gui again.
