Problems building on MacOS via depends, without NO

ch4ot1c commented at 10:07 am on November 3, 2018: contributor

When running cd depends && make HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin on MacOS 10.13.6, the following error appears:

0➜  depends git:(2182094c6) make HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0
1builders/darwin.mk:1: *** empty variable name.  Stop.

A fix is here for this initial problem: 63c74d2, but then the following error appears:

Removing the -no-feature-xml option in qt.mk just causes a followup error that is equally problematic, involving libQt5Xml not being found:

0make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/Users/Jon/bsha3/bsha3-ravened/bsha3/repo/bsha3/depends/work/build/x86_64-apple-darwin17.7.0/qt/5.9.6-d39a0d42aab/qtbase/lib/libQt5Xml.a', needed by '../../../bin/lrelease'.  Stop.

Any ideas?

Are you sure you are building Bitcoin Core? If so, which commit?

c34c821 was the latest commit being built from.

(Resolved; Below are my notes, with solution at bottom)

Just retried - I think that @fanquake’s investigation found and solved the problem. On the tty that failed, make -v = 3.8.1. But really, the latest installation is 4.2.1 (had updated via Homebrew: brew install make; separate/fresh tty; didn’t restart the machine).

BTW, It says that make 3.8.1 is built for i386-apple-darwin-11.3.0, and 4.2.1 is built for x86_64-apple-darwin-17.7.0. Not sure if that could be problematic.

Regardless, I open a fresh Terminal, and retry the command in the same directory. Results:

Solution

Only works with NO_QT=1:
