SOFA build on MacOS

[Priya]

Hi

I am trying to build SOFA on MacOS but keep running into this error:

/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework’, needed by `lib/libSofaHelper.19.06.01.dylib’. Stop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Priya

Hi @priya-vada4

First of all, welcome in our open source and free forum!
From what I understand you downloaded the sources of SOFA and you compiled it. Right? Did the compilation process run properly?

Hi @Hugo

I got the same problem with Priya.

I followed the steps in your tutorial for mac. When I finished configuring and generating in CMake UI, I want to compile it in the terminal. Then the error occurred:

[ 9%] Built target QGLViewer
make[2]: *** No rule to make target /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework', needed bylib/libSofaHelper.19.12.00.dylib’. Stop.
make[1]: *** [SofaKernel/SofaFramework/SofaHelper/CMakeFiles/SofaHelper.dir/all] Error 2

Thanks.

Hi @priya-vada4

I already saw this kind of issue.

Some reported this problem due to the glew library. I was installed with homebrew which was not up-to-date (with a dependency on the old OpenGL): brew upgrade glew

Let me know whether this helps.
Best,

could you tell us what are your cmake and XCode versions please?

Latest update @priya-vada4 : got a confirmation, updating XCode to its latest version should work. Let us know if it solves your case.

Best wishes,

Hi,

I just had this issue. Here is how I solved it.

1. Download and install the highest possible Xcode compatible with your MacOS.
Compatibility list (taken from Wikipedia):

MacOS >= 10.15.2 : Xcode 11.4
MacOS >= 10.14.4 : Xcode 11.3.1
MacOS >= 10.14.3 : Xcode 10.3
MacOS >= 10.13.6 : Xcode 10.1
MacOS >= 10.13.2 : Xcode 9.4.1
MacOS >= 10.12.6 : Xcode 9.2
MacOS >= 10.12   : Xcode 8.3.3
MacOS >= 10.11.5 : Xcode 8.2.1
MacOS >= 10.11   : Xcode 7.3.1

To download any version, go to https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and search “Xcode”.

2. Open Xcode to automatically finalize installation

3. In Xcode, navigate to “Xcode > Preferences > Locations” and set Command Line Tools to your Xcode version

4. Switch Command Line Tools to your Xcode install:
xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app
Verify your command:
xcode-select -p

5. Reboot

6. Erase your build directory

7. Clear ccache with ccache -C

8. Build again

Hope that helps,
Guillaume.
