MacOS dsymutil issue

[Robert Lancaster]

Hi KDE and Craft enthusiasts,

An issue happened a month or two ago with one of our 3rd Party Drivers in KStars/INDI and it prevented the build from finishing if we build using RelWithDebInfo.  I suspect it was some change in Craft, because I do not think anything changed in the INDI 3rd Party Repo at that time, but I am not sure.  I googled the problem, but I could not easily figure out what was wrong. We needed to get KStars released, so we disabled that particular driver from the build until we figured out the issue.  I haven’t figured it out yet, though I do have some insight that it is somehow related to architectures and debug symbols and that it only occurs when you build with RelWithDebInfo but not with Release.   The bigger problem is that it has now happened to another driver.  I will try to explain the behavior here.  Please let me know if you have any insight, know that something changed in craft, or know who I can contact.  Note that this will not prevent us from building and releasing KStars since we could build using “Release” instead of “RelWithDebInfo”.  I suppose we could also disable another driver, but I would prefer to address the issue because I do not think this is actually an issue with the driver itself and every time we do that, we are preventing KStars users with certain equipment from using KStars, not to mention the fact that the hard work of whoever developed each driver would not get included in the final version for no good reason.

The issue arises when building with RelWithDebInfo once all the driver libraries have finished building and they are in the process of getting installed.  Craft is running various commands including install_name_tool, dsymutil, strip, and codesign to finalize the installation.   When it gets to the driver in question, it tries to run the commands and somehow it fails to find a target.  This happens on both my own computer and on the craft server.  It never happened before a couple of months ago.  Below is an example of the issue.  First I have a library that appeared to complete the commands successfully.  Then the current one with the issue:

You can see the same issue on the craft server here:  https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/MacOS/job/KStars_Nightly_macos/1786/consoleText

Note that I have found that the driver llibPlayerOnePW.1.0.0.dylib is in fact a prebuilt binary to start with that has both ARM and intel support.  My computer is building using craft on an intel machine and so is building intel binaries.  I don’t think craft has a setting to build universal binaries, or am I wrong?

Thanks,

Rob
