Unable to cross compile on linux for macos (28.x branch)

JayBitron commented at 4:17 pm on October 3, 2024: none

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behaviour

Running the command make HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin -C depends on Bitcoin Core 28.x no longer compiles the dependencies as expected. It fails.

Expected behaviour

The command make HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin -C depends should successfully compile all required dependencies without errors, as it did in previous versions of Bitcoin Core.

Steps to reproduce

make HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin -C depends -j32

Relevant log output

@JayBitron

Can you reproduce the issue in a fresh Docker container?

hebasto added the label Build system on Oct 3, 2024

hebasto commented at 6:29 pm on October 3, 2024: member

Do yo have macOS SDK available (see: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/macdeploy).

JayBitron commented at 6:36 pm on October 3, 2024: none

@hebasto Yes, it’s a fresh new intstalled linux, I don’t use docker, I’ve been compiling bitcoin for macos since version 25.x had no problem, yes, I’ve the macos SDK

hebasto commented at 7:15 pm on October 3, 2024: member

@JayBitron

– The C compiler identification is Clang 14.0.6

Please ensure the minimum required Clang version, which is 16.0 for v28.0.

Additionally, you may need the lld package installed (the same version as llvm/clang).

JayBitron commented at 7:17 pm on October 3, 2024: none

@hebasto Altho the stable version of debian provides the clang 14, I have done also the clang 16 and even upper version, they throw different errors

JayBitron commented at 7:26 pm on October 3, 2024: none

@hebasto lld is installed

Here are the steps to build depends without Qt on Debian 12:

 2# Install minimum required version of LLVM toolchain
 3apt install clang-16 llvm-16 lld-16
 4# Create non-versioned symlinks of the tools

15mkdir -p bitcoin/depends/SDKs
16tar xf Xcode-15.0-15A240d-extracted-SDK-with-libcxx-headers.tar.gz -C bitcoin/depends/SDKs
17cd bitcoin
18git checkout v28.0
19# Cross-compile non-GUI dependencies
20make -j 16 -C depends HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin NO_QT=1

Please note that building the qt package requires g++ and a newer clang.

I’m using version 20 it returns /usr/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode: llvm when I create symbolic links to version 16 it returns /usr/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode: acosx_version_min It’s is different error on each version

JayBitron commented at 11:24 pm on October 3, 2024: none

debian unstable (sid) runs on clang-20 doesn’t need to downgrade it

I just freshly installed a linux and went the steps as you said still getting this error:

I know now bitcoin 28.x macos builds are broken officially, in 27.x all tools were built in, about 800MB down was taken down.

JayBitron commented at 11:45 pm on October 3, 2024: none

Yes, I see native_llvm.mk was removed from 28.x

debian unstable (sid) runs on clang-20 doesn’t need to downgrade it

Debian Sid’s default clang is clang-16, which is enough to build every dependency except for the qt package.

Here is a full log of the commands on a fresh Debian Sid image:

 0# history 
 1    1  apt update
 2    2  apt install git bison cmake curl make pkg-config xz-utils wget
 3    3  apt install clang llvm lld
 4    4  git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
 5    5  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hebasto/artefacts/refs/heads/Xcode/Xcode/Xcode-15.0/Xcode-15.0-15A240d-extracted-SDK-with-libcxx-headers.tar.gz

 7    7  tar xf Xcode-15.0-15A240d-extracted-SDK-with-libcxx-headers.tar.gz -C bitcoin/depends/SDKs
 8    8  cd bitcoin

Please ensure that your environment, including compiler-specific variables, is not modified somehow.

@hebasto can you try compiling yourself, including the qt wallet

pinheadmz commented at 1:14 pm on October 5, 2024: member

I’m getting the same error but inside a guix build: https://gist.github.com/pinheadmz/a2603f7f62c7627f33a10d8f39443f20

pinheadmz commented at 1:52 pm on October 5, 2024: member

Update: re-downloaded Xcode and re-extracted the SDK, guix build is proceeding again
