build: error with libfreetype when depends cross-compiling for linux on macOS #21385

jarolrod commented at 1:10 AM on March 8, 2021: member

When attempting to cross-compile for linux (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) on macOS 11.2, I get the following error:

install: /Users/xyz/Code/bitcoin/depends/work/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/freetype/2.7.1-9c18085ceb3/objs/.libs/libfreetype.so.6.13.0: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [install] Error 71
make: *** [/Users/xyz/Code/bitcoin/depends/work/staging/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/freetype/2.7.1-9c18085ceb3/.stamp_staged] Error 2

To reproduce:

Clone master on an intel macOS 11.2 machine
run make depends with the following parameters: make HOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu -jx
Get the reported error when building

System information

Bitcoin Core Version: master branch off github Machine: 2020 Intel Macbook Pro running macOS 11.2

Can confirm the issue on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G8022):

Hmm, could it be related to some kind of size limits (varible/buffer/whatever)?

I think this long line from the log is incomplete:

Using Homebrew's GNU make 4.3 did not help.

The same happened here on macOS 11.2.2 (20D80).

Going to close this for now. If anyone wants this fixed, they should open an issue upstream, as the same problem occurs building from the latest freetype source (not an issue with our build system). I also think that cross-compiling the GUI from macOS to Linux isn't a very common thing to be doing.
