compile with brew for OSX

[mjobin-mdsol]

I am trying to write a brew recipe to compile the freecell-solver on OSX.

cmake fails without an error.
can you tell me what options I need to add?

class FreecellSolver < Formula
  desc "Solitaire Solver library"

    args << "-DKDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR=lib/qt5/plugins"
    args << "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_BUNDLEDIR=#{bin}"

    mkdir "build" do
      system "cmake", "..", *args
      system "make"
      system "make", "install"
      prefix.install "install_manifest.txt"
    end
  end
end

the cmake command executes like this

cmake
..
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE=-DNDEBUG
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE=-DNDEBUG
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/freecell-solver/6.0.1_1
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK=LAST
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON
-Wno-dev
-DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk
-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
-DKDE_INSTALL_QMLDIR=lib/qt5/qml
-DKDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR=lib/qt5/plugins
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_BUNDLEDIR=/usr/local/Cellar/freecell-solver/6.0.1_1/bin

Hi @mjobin-mdsol !

Thanks for your work.

the cmake command executes like this

cmake
..
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE=-DNDEBUG
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE=-DNDEBUG
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/freecell-solver/6.0.1_1
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK=LAST
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON
-Wno-dev
-DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk
-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
-DKDE_INSTALL_QMLDIR=lib/qt5/qml
-DKDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR=lib/qt5/plugins
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_BUNDLEDIR=/usr/local/Cellar/freecell-solver/6.0.1_1/bin

I don't expect it to succeed without the backslashes. For what it's worth, this command succeeds here - followed by a successful gmake (i'm on mageia v8 x86-64):

#! /bin/sh
#
# brew-build-fcs.sh



cmake \
.. \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE=-DNDEBUG \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE=-DNDEBUG \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/freecell-solver/6.0.1_1 \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK=LAST \
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON \
-Wno-dev \
-DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk \
-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
-DKDE_INSTALL_QMLDIR=lib/qt5/qml \
-DKDE_INSTALL_PLUGINDIR=lib/qt5/plugins \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_BUNDLEDIR=/usr/local/Cellar/freecell-solver/6.0.1_1/bin \

What you can try is using dtruss or similar or lldb or gdb ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLDB_(debugger) ) on the cmake to see why it fails without an error (which is abnormal behaviour). Then you can try using newer and/or older cmake versions.

Good luck, and thanks!

@mjobin-mdsol : ping! any news?

[mjobin-mdsol]

I don't believe the missing backslashes were the problem.
I think that just brew who display the command in multi-line for easy reading, but it runs as a string without multi-line breaker

I'm not too sure how to insert a debugger into a brew compile stack
maybe I can actually add a ruby debugger, trace it until cmake gets called and see if I can capture the actual error message

ok, looks like I can just cpan Moo

I wonder if that fits find in the recipe...

cpan Moo is needed by the some of the Perl code (perhaps I should verify it is present though). "rinutils" is https://github.com/shlomif/rinutils/ which is used by the C code and should also be installed (albeit I recall bundling it inside the source tarball so it may not be separately needed).

[shlomif]

@mjobin-mdsol : hi! I checked and rinutils is indeed included in the source tarball.

dependencies on both python and perl, this must be a fun project to maintain ;)

[mjobin-mdsol]

ok, I got it to build locally, I still have an issue with my homebrew recipe, but its clearly not related to fc-solve

thanks for your help

this is my updated recipe.

Heh, heh. Use the right tool for the job... And it is fun to maintain.

Great! Thanks for sharing the recipe and updating me about the progress. You're welcome. Good luck in making more progress.
