Building on OS X -- stacklet.h?

[prologic]

Is there some voodoo magic required to get pixie even working interactively?

I'm getting a "file not found" error for ``src/stacklet/stacklet.h`

make: *** [run_interactive] Error 1

I obviously do have Xcode Command line Tools installed as well as well as Homebrew. What am I missing here?

[heyLu]

This sounds like something is wrong with pypy. Can you remove the externals directory and try building again?

[mpenet]

make clean could be a good idea too (i think it deletes externals as well).

[prologic]

This isn't apypy I'm building with; but rpython

If building pixie doesn't work with the published and separate RPython toolchain above then is this something I should try to fix/resolve with the PyPy team? Perhaps something is missing from the package/tool or broken in some strange ways (hence the errors).

[heyLu]

It's rpython, yes, but we pull in pypy which contains rpython. It sounds as if that step went wrong, so please run make clean first, followed by either make run_interactive or make build_with_jit, which builds the pixie-vm binary.

[prologic]

In that case I think what I did wrong was:

mkvirtualenv pixie
pip install rpython
make

So if I remove the rpython installation part and let the make rules pull in PyPy's source tree itself it should work?

[heyLu]

Yes, that should work.

[prologic]

Thanks. I'll close this issue and report back when successfully built :)

[jmglov]

@prologic Hey man, is this working for you now?

[prologic]

@jmglov In fact it's compiled beautifully after a git pull (there was an issue with some entrypoint thing).

Steps for building on OS X;

brew install libuv boost
make build_with_jit

Done!

[prologic]

Probably need to brew install libffi as well.

[thomasmulvaney]

Glad you've got it working. Closing this.

[prologic]

Do we want to add instructions on how to build this on OS X? There are no official docs per se yet right? How about adding it to the README?

[thomasmulvaney]

Sounds like a good idea. There is also a section on installation in the wiki https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie/wiki/Installation which doesn't cover OS X

[prologic]

Updated to include OS X instructions.
