Make master build on Mac OS X again after PM-merge

[nielx]

There are several build problems on Mac OS X 10.8. I will try to resolve those and add patches as I go along.

[bonefish]

0001, 0003, and 0005 look good and can be applied.

Regarding 0002:

• typo: "HOST_PATFORM"
• In the "if" the "[" and "]" need to be separated by whitespace from the enclosed condition.
• I'd prefer a HOST_EXTENDED_REGEX_SED (= "sed -r" / "sed -E") build variable provided by "configure", so there that platform checks can be avoided in the actions.

Regarding 0004:

• A similar change is missing in ​LibsolvSolver.cpp:41.
• Since half the build platforms don't support the "#else" implementation anyway and all support the "#if", I'd rather remove the "#else" altogether and make the "#if" unconditional.

[nielx]

Thanks for the review. I will work on 0002 and 0004 a bit more. In the mean time I get another build error. Do you have any pointers for me?

The error is:

Regarding 0004

Interestingly though that one does not produce any errors during build. Any guess on why that may be?

[bonefish]

Replying to nielx:

The error code translates to B_NO_MORE_FDS. Maybe we're leaking FDs somewhere. Which attribute emulation do you use?

It would fail later in the build_haiku_image script when the package dependencies are resolved. That's the first time the code is executed.

The default (not xattr). I will try a build with xattr now.

[nielx]

Definitively leaking. The output with xattr is:

Failed to open entry "data/mime_db/message/rfc822": Unknown error: -1

I will dive into dtrace and the source to see what happens.

[bonefish]

I had a quick look with strace on Linux and could see anything suspicious in this respect.

Assuming the issue still occurs when building "haiku.hpkg", you can just do a jam -q haiku.hpkg. The actual invocation of the package command happens at the end of "build/scripts/build_haiku_package".

[nielx]

I did a check and it seems like there are a large number of DIR fds open. See the log.

I also checked the ulimit -Sn, which is set to 256. Increasing the limit to 1024 has worked and Haiku is building.

So the question is:

1. Is the limit on OS X too small and should the user change this?
2. Should package anticipate this and under certain conditions raise the soft limit?
3. Or is package too careless about the resources?

The lsof output during the package command

[nielx]

I added three patches; two are improvements over the previous added patches, one is another fix later on in the build process.

About 0003: The line in FileRules exceeds the maximum amount of characters. I am unsure how to properly break that line, I could not find any examples in the rest of the file. Any suggestions? Also, could you please look closely at the configure changes? I am not experienced in shell scripting.

[bonefish]

Regarding the many open directory file descriptors, I think I found the leak in our libroot_build fdopendir() emulation. I've attached a patch. Please give it a try.

The patches look good. In 0003 I would break the line before the "|" (and escape the line break with "\").

[nielx]

I tested it and it works indeed. Mind if I push all four patches (including the cleaned up 0003)?

[bonefish]

Sure, please go ahead.

Fixed in hrev46150
