Asdf-erlang: Build Fails on macOS 10.15 Catalina

Created on 4 Oct 2019 · 73Comments · Source: asdf-vm/asdf-erlang

note: this is different from the SSL issues noted in #105

Took me a while to track it down but I think this might be an upstream issue to do with version identification that is already fixed in kerl and that could hopefully be solved by updating the kerl version used.

See the kerl PR here: https://github.com/kerl/kerl/pull/324

2 additional points...

I was hoping there would be a way to set a custom kerl version using an env var so I could test the build before opening this issue but it looks like the version is hardcoded and validated here
It looks like there is a new kerl release 1.8.6 see here But it doesn't look like it's been tagged in git as previous versions were so the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kerl/kerl/1.8.6/kerl isn't working like it does for 1.8.5.

In case it helps or I have identified the issue incorrectly...

Here is a workaround to get OTP to build on Catalina:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.14

We will continue to investigate the problem.

Now this is fixed in kerl maybe we can bump the version here?

I can make a PR a bit later today if you are happy with that @Stratus3D ? Unless of course you are already on it?

andykent on 5 Oct 2019

asdf-erlang has been updated to use kerl version 1.8.6. Can you try updating asdf-erlang and see if that fixes the problem? asdf plugin-update erlang should do the trick.

Stratus3D on 5 Oct 2019

Thanks for the fast turn around. Much appreciated.

I just tried updating (and also removing and re-adding the plugin) I can report...

The auto-detection of the brew installed version of openssl now seems to work as expected 😄
The build still segfaults and I think I am out-of-my depth to suggest solutions. 😞
Additional tidbit: even with KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-javac" set I still get the Java popup so I _think_ maybe KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS is being ignored, might be a 1.8.6 regression but not 100%.

I've attached the output log from both 22.1.1 and 21.3.8

Same problem here.

Same here, the auto-detection of the brew installed version of openssl also works for me, but different than @andykent --without-javac is working for me.

Here is how I am trying to install it:

I don't know why HIPE is failing to _build_ but I do not it's not going to be fully supported by upstream in OTP 22: http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_22.0.readme

As far as the javac pop-up - that is provoked by autoconf not kerl. As far as I am aware, there is no way to disable probing for javac no matter what OTP build flags are passed through.

I tried running with --without-hipe flag set but it just bails out on yecc next.

@andykent can you look at /Users/andy/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_22.1.1/otp_build_22.1.1.log and share any portions you think are relevant to this problem?

Stratus3D on 7 Oct 2019

OK so in the interest of completeness. Here's 3 complete logs...

--without-javac chokes on hipe - without-javac.log
--without-javac --without-hipe chokes on yecc - without-hipe.log
--without-javac --without-hipe --without-parsetools chokes on asn1? - without-hipe-without-parsetools.log

I'm probably not the best person to make a call on what the relevant part of the log is (sorry). But they do all seem to blow up with some variation of

Segmentation fault: 11  erlc -W +debug_info -DUSE_ESOCK=true -I/Users/andy/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_22.1.1/otp_src_22.1.1/lib/stdlib/include -Werror -o../ebin DOT_ERL_FILE_HERE.erl

I don't know why HIPE is failing to _build_ but I do not it's not going to be fully supported by upstream in OTP 22: http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_22.0.readme

It is not HiPE that fails, it is erlc that segfaults. HiPE just happens to be the first application to be compiled.

I don't have access to that OS X version, could someone please try to compile while setting: ./configure --disable-pgo

If that still does not it would be great to try to compile with a debug compiled beam. So after that build fails to this:

cd otp_src_dir && export ERL_TOP=`pwd`
make emulator && make emulator TYPE=debug
cp bin/*/beam.debug.smp bin/*/beam.smp
make

garazdawi on 8 Oct 2019

@garazdawi Is this to be ran from a freshly cloned erlang/otp repo? Because I am getting this:

./configure --disable-pgo
zsh: no such file or directory: ./configure

And I don't know what to pass to autoconf or automake if they are to be ran before ./configure.

Can you post more steps on how to attempt compilation on macOS Catalina? I am willing to help when I get those.

dimitarvp on 8 Oct 2019

@garazdawi Is this to be ran from a freshly cloned erlang/otp repo?

No, in a repo that already had failed to build. In a clean repo do this:

cd otp && export ERL_TOP=`pwd`
./otp_build autoconf
./configure --disable-pgo
make

garazdawi on 8 Oct 2019

@garazdawi do you want the full log or anything else?

@benoitc Whatever is printed to stdout to start with :)

I wonder what the OS X people broke/changed this time...

dimitarvp on 8 Oct 2019

Alright, so it is not the pgo that is broken. Could you check what happens with a debug build?

Thanks @benoitc, so they have changed something with time... seems like the monotonic time primitive from the kernel does not return monotonic time values... this is not going to be an easy thing to fix...

interrestly enough my update of mac ports built without error on my machine: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/5458

I didn't have time to check which flags is added

benoitc on 9 Oct 2019

I built OTP for the first time since upgrade to Catalina, and it was successful in my environment.

smorimoto on 9 Oct 2019

Without Kerl.

smorimoto on 9 Oct 2019

kerl is playing with cflags and fix cc CC darwin: https://github.com/kerl/kerl/blob/master/kerl#L593 , I think the issue is there.

benoitc on 9 Oct 2019

Without Kerl.

can you describe the whole process and command lines you used?

benoitc on 9 Oct 2019

@benoitc Can you give this PR https://github.com/kerl/kerl/pull/326 a try? I don't have a system with Catalina installed on it yet.

mrallen1 on 9 Oct 2019

@benoitc Just copy and paste this. (from OTP's README)

git clone https://github.com/erlang/otp.git
cd otp
./otp_build autoconf
./configure
make
make install

This works for me.

Environment information:
OS: macOS 10.15
OTP: latest master

smorimoto on 9 Oct 2019

@imbsky This didn't work for me but I am not yet on XCode 11.1 -- still on 11.0.

erlc still segfaulting. Also, at the end of the ./configure call I had a warning about these apps being disabled due to no usable crypto library being found: crypto, ssh and ssl.

I'll retry after my XCode updates to 11.1 and report again.

EDIT: For self-sufficient comments without scanning previous chat history here: I am also on macOS 10.15.

dimitarvp on 9 Oct 2019

@dimitarvp Oh, it might be related. Cause my XCode version is 11.1 (11A1027).

smorimoto on 9 Oct 2019

@dimitarvp and I installed llvm with brew. So my clang version is 9.0.0. Here is my Brewfile. You can use the "brew bundle dump" command to dump a list of software you have installed with brew, so it might be helpful to check the diff.

smorimoto on 9 Oct 2019

macOS 10.15, Xcode 11.1, deleted the directory and re-cloned the OTP repo, the ./configure still says this:

*********************************************************************

@benoitc that is because you (or kerl) gave --without-wx to configure.

garazdawi on 10 Oct 2019

@bjorng The suggested workaround did work for me

dunyakirkali on 10 Oct 2019

@garazdawi i confirm the workaround works without the --without-wx. thanks

Trying to asdf install erlang 22.1.3 on MacOS Catalina.

Done:

brew reinstall coreutils automake autoconf openssl libyaml readline libxslt libtool unixodbc

brew link coreutils automake autoconf openssl libyaml readline libxslt libtool unixodbc

Set export PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t/bin:$PATH" and export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-javac --with-ssl=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t". Build failed.

Still getting:

 * crypto         : No usable OpenSSL found
 * jinterface     : No Java compiler found
 * ssh            : No usable OpenSSL found
 * ssl            : No usable OpenSSL found

Am I missing something?

Any news for older versions of erlang? Specifically 19

@mrleeio this export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.14 worked for me

@mrleeio this export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.14 worked for me

Has not worked for me. Perhaps my brew installed asdf is behind master somehow.

Will update you with logs soon.

asdf install erlang 22.1.4 worked for me.

fxn on 24 Oct 2019

asdf install erlang 22.1.4 worked for me but erlang 21.1 didn't, and it's the version I use :(

INGCRENGIFO on 30 Oct 2019

In my case, I had to install an old version of Erlang 20.2, what worked for me:

export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -fno-stack-check"
KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--disable-hipe --without-javac --with-ssl=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2t" asdf install erlang 20.2

This worked for me (crossposted from kerl/kerl)

MacOS Catalina (10.15.1)
There is an issue in the compilation phase of the process. The workaround is this:

export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-javac --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)"
export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -fno-stack-check"
asdf install erlang 22.1
asdf global erlang 22.1

export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-javac --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)"

This helped! Thank you. I was getting tired of trying to solve this

Hello @eduardonunesp @miguelcoba , what does this CFLAGS params mean/do? Specially -02 -g. Just curious.

thanks

r-guimaraes on 25 Nov 2019

@r-guimaraes those are gcc options for compile time. I am not an expert but the -g is to add debug symbols and the O2 is the level of optimizations. (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#Optimize-Options)
Those can be removed I think without affecting the compile result as the no-stack-check option is the one that actually fixes this issue, but I left them from the snippet I found in the internet.

They should not be removed. When you set CFLAGS when compiling any/most autoconf projects you overwrite the default CFLAGS. The default CFLAGS are "-O2 -g". So if you only set "-fno-stack-check" you will get an un-optimized Erlang system without debug info.

garazdawi on 25 Nov 2019

@garazdawi thanks for the info, I didn't know. I learned something new. I will leave them on the CFLAGS then.

@miguelcoba @garazdawi very good to know. thank you!

I have intalled OTP-22.1.8 in mac os catilina 10.15.1 by doing following
brew install autoconf automake libtool [email protected] wxmac
brew install wxwidgets
brew install unixodbc
brew install fop
and as per above comments i have applied the below commands
export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-javac --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)"
export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -fno-stack-check"

but it won't work because java compiler is disabled by above command, So i put back by following command.
export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=" --with-ssl=$(brew --prefix openssl)"

Now you can run your build by following commands
kerl build git https://github.com/erlang/otp.git OTP-22.1.8 OTP-22.1.8
kerl install OTP-22.1.8 /Users/namjitharavind/.kerl/erlangs/OTP-22.1.8
. /Users/namjitharavind/.kerl/erlangs/OTP-22.1.8/activate

Change your home directory as yours.

I'm having a similar issue, and though the explicit failure isn't a segfault, it's a memory issue of some sort and feels related. Feel free to tell me to open a separate issue if need be.

22.0.7 installs fine, with no extra config params needed. 20.1 chokes. I've tried the settings above, and it's always a similar failure. What's interesting is that the message varies slightly failure to failure -- the error is the same, but the text gets mangled. Here's another example:

The machine itself is a fresh install, fwiw.

I've verified that I'm running the latest versions of asdf, the erlang plugin (and by extension -- kerl)

@kolosy did you find a solution to this? having the exact same problem. tried the flags and env vars in above comments, but still having no luck. trying to install erlang 20.3.8

hexchung on 27 Jan 2020

@hexchung haven't tried again since posting. resorted to installing erlang via homebrew and symlinking into the asdf directories. it's ugly, but it works.

Closing since this is not an issue with asdf-erlang.

@Stratus3D this did the trick for me. Thanks!

asdf-erlang has been updated to use kerl version 1.8.6. Can you try updating asdf-erlang and see if that fixes the problem? asdf plugin-update erlang should do the trick.

Delete archive of failed build from ~/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/archives (not sure if this is necessary though)
asdf plugin-update erlang
asdf install erlang 22.3.4.12
