[depends] Crosscompile from trusty to osx #12577

<!-- Describe the issue -->

When attempting to compile bitcoin from master source I run into two problems. One is a boost lib location error which i fix by adding a absolute file path in depends/x86_64-apple-darwin11/share/config.site this:

• depends_prefix="dirname ${ac_site_file}/.."

to this:

• depends_prefix="/home/user/osx/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin11"`

My second problem is in the make process, i get a clang linker error.

Compile bitcoin for osx

<!--- What was the actual behavior (provide screenshots if the issue is GUI-related)? -->

Errors

<!--- How reliably can you reproduce the issue, what are the steps to do so? -->

Everytime

<!-- What version of Bitcoin Core are you using, where did you get it (website, self-compiled, etc)? -->

Branch Master

<!-- What type of machine are you observing the error on (OS/CPU and disk type)? -->

Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty

<!-- Any extra information that might be useful in the debugging process. -->

My steps I take:

1. cd depends with SDK already added
2. make HOST='x8664-apple-darwin11'
3. cd ..
4. ./autogen.sh
5. change config.site as noted above
6. CONFIG_SITE=depends/x86_64-apple-darwin11/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/ --disable-ccache --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --with-gui
7. make 8 end at this error: CC src/libsecp256k1_la-secp256k1.lo CCLD libsecp256k1.la make[3]:Leaving directory/home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/src/secp256k1' CXXLD libbitcoinconsensus.la clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pthread' clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pthread' ld: file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): secp256k1/.libs/libsecp256k1.a for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make[2]: *** [libbitcoinconsensus.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory/home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 smyers@headhunter911-trusty:~/osx/bitcoin$

I fixed the first issue by putting a absolute path in step 6, example CONFIG_SITE=/home/user/osx/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin11/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/ --disable-ccache --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --with-gui

That ended up fixing both problems. Thanks.

Ok so now i have successfully compiled everything but i am running into a problem here (make deploy): /bin/mkdir -p Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 share/qt/Info.plist Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/Info.plist make -C src qt/bitcoin-qt make[1]: Entering directory /home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/src' make[2]: Entering directory /home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/src/secp256k1' make[2]: libsecp256k1.la' is up to date. make[2]: Leaving directory /home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/src/secp256k1' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/src' INSTALLNAMETOOL=/home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin11/share/../native/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin11-install_name_tool OTOOL=/home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin11/share/../native/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin11-otool STRIP=/home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin11/share/../native/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin11-strip /usr/bin/python3.4 ./contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus Bitcoin-Qt.app -translations-dir=/home/smyers/osx/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin11/share/../translations -add-qt-tr da,de,es,hu,ru,uk,zh_CN,zh_TW -verbose 2

If you do find a solution, I'm happy to test it (with a Trusty Virtual Box running on macOS).

Thanks, did you test what I described and have the same problem?

Depends are now built on bionic. Please open a new issue if you can still reproduce on bionic.
