[GRASS-dev] GRASS 7.4.2 won't configure on Mac

Mon Nov 26 11:55:04 PST 2018

FWIW, I just try to create a symlink from the /lib folder in the app where I'm compiling GRASS to /usr/bin/cpp. It still won't configure. So I wonder if this too is a bogus error.

I just did a restore from a back up of previously compilable trunk source code. Same error. So it is something that has changed in my system. I do have cpp in /usr/bin and it was updated recently (24 October). I do not have a link /lib/cpp and don't have a non-updated Mac to see if this link did exist previously.

Such is my plan B. Just hoping to shortcut it with an inquiry to all if anyone knows of a recent change to GRASS source that might cause this.

No obvious change to my system, but may be something not obvious of course

As far as I can tell, I do not have cpp anywhere in any of the Mac binaries I've done, although I do have a C++ compiler installed. All previous versions compiled and built without this error, and they run fine. So what was changed between 8 October and the release of 7.4.2 that makes configure fail if cpp is not found? Where should I look?

Do you mean a change in GRASS GIS source code or your system configuration (e.g. updates)? How to decide between them is to configure the last version of GRASS GIS which worked for you. If you can configure and compile from scratch that old version but not the new one, you can try a version in between these two, the go to beginning of this sentence (aka bisect). This way you find the change in GRASS GIS. In case both the old and the new version don't configure, the change is in your system.

Since it's complaining about /lib/cpp,

./configure: line 5164: /lib/cpp: No such file or directory

I would say the problem is not zlib, but missing C++ compiler (at least on my machine, /lib/cpp eventually points to /usr/bin/cpp-5), although I don't know why ./configure would catch that problem earlier since a successful report contains:

  C compiler:                 clang -O2 -Wall -pedantic -Wextra
  C++ compiler:               clang++ -std=c++14 -fexceptions

The checking phase reports only about C compiler, so the difference is perhaps there.

checking for gcc... clang
checking whether the C compiler (clang -O2 -Wall -pedantic -Wextra -s) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (clang -O2 -Wall -pedantic -Wextra -s) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether clang accepts -g... yes
