[CMake] SDL troubles on Mac OS X

[Werner Smekal]

Hi,

I'm building an application on Mac OS X and link the SDL libraries into
the app. Basically it all works fine (app runs, etc.), but if I want to
use the BundleUtilities to fix/include the SDL framework into the app
bundle I encounter errors. Problem is, that the references to the SDL
libraries in the executable already point to
"@executable_path/../Frameworks/...." although the SDL Frameworks are
not there (see below). BundleUtilities is then not able to find the SDL
Frameworks. In my opinion the references should point to
~/Library/Frameworks. I wonder why this app runs, but maybe Mac OS X
looks for other standard locations if it doesn't find the library. I
googled around but could only find one other post:

http://avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=5802

where it is mentioned that: "However, cmake "thinks" that the
SDL.framework is already inside the bundle (and therefore doesn't copy
it), but cmake can't find it in the next step."

Is this a cmake bug, a FindSDL.cmake bug or is it just me :)

Thanks for any help,
Werner


More information. Here is what I do:

1) Download the SDL and SDL-Mixer Frameworks and copy them to
~/Library/Frameworks

2) Try to find them with

find_package(SDL REQUIRED)
include_directories(${SDL_INCLUDE_DIR})

find_package(SDL_mixer REQUIRED)
include_directories(${SDLMIXER_INCLUDE_DIR})

which also works ok:

SDL_INCLUDE_DIR = /Users/smekal/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers
SDL_LIBRARY =
/Users/smekal/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework;-framework Cocoa
SDLMIXER_INCLUDE_DIR =
/Users/smekal/Library/Frameworks/SDL_mixer.framework/Headers
SDLMIXER_LIBRARY = /Users/smekal/Library/Frameworks/SDL_mixer.framework

3) Link them to my target:

target_link_libraries(
zct
${SDL_LIBRARY}
${SDLMIXER_LIBRARY}
${OPENGL_LIBRARIES}
)

4) Verbose compile (example):

[ 7%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/zct.dir/src/game/app.cpp.o

"/Users/smekal/Applications/CMake 2.8-0.app/Contents/bin/cmake" -E
cmake_progress_report /Users/smekal/Development/zct/build/CMakeFiles 2

5) Verbose Link:

6) and if I look at the references with otool:

Hi

What is the install-name of SDL.framewor/SDL? What does

otool -L ~/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/SDL

tell you? I suspect it is something like

/Users/smekal/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/SDL:
@executable_path/../Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
....

right? The second line is the one the linker uses to embed as a reference into your executable. The linker doesn't use it's actual location, but the library's install name.

Not sure what's going wrong in the CMake part, though...

IMHO FindSDL.cmake is buggy. The variable SDL_LIBRARY (and all its siblings) should only contain the framework, not Cocoa. Another variable, SDL_LIBRARIES (which should be uncached) should then contain the value of SDL_LIBRARY and all other required supporting libraries, such as Cocoa on OS X.

For now, what you can do is manually install the SDL framework using install(DIRECTORY ...) and the first list element of SDL_LIBRARY.

Yes that's right. It was actually 5 minutes after I wrote my email, that
I remembered somewhere back in my head, that the library itself has this
reference, so this explains, why the executable also has this reference.

BundleUtilities/GetPrerequisites will print a warning message if the
framework's id isn't where its really at.
But a few lines down after printing that warning message, it checks
to see if it can find it in ~/Library/Frameworks.
So I suspect its working, but the messages are misleading.
Perhaps the SDL installation shouldn't be setting framework ids like
that.

Hi Michael,

Hi
What is the install-name of SDL.framewor/SDL? What does
otool -L ~/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/SDL
tell you? I suspect it is something like
@executable_path/../Frameworks/SDL.framework/Versions/A/SDL
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
....
right? The second line is the one the linker uses to embed as a
reference into your executable. The linker doesn't use it's actual
location, but the library's install name.

Yes that's right. It was actually 5 minutes after I wrote my email,
that I remembered somewhere back in my head, that the library
itself has this reference, so this explains, why the executable
also has this reference.

Not sure what's going wrong in the CMake part, though...

I assume BundleUtilties uses this reference to copy the libraries
into the app - if the library itself has a "wrong" reference it's
not able to find the library, or?

BundleUtilities/GetPrerequisites will print a warning message if the
framework's id isn't where its really at.
But a few lines down after printing that warning message, it checks
to see if it can find it in ~/Library/Frameworks.
So I suspect its working, but the messages are misleading.
Perhaps the SDL installation shouldn't be setting framework ids like
that.

I think the SDL developers are just being a bit "too" slick. They are
setting up SDL for Xcode development where typically you would link to
the SDL and then have a "Copy Files Phase" where you copy the
framework into the Application Bundle that resides in the build
directory. All the tutorials regarding Xcode and embedding frameworks
have you do it this way). So the SDL folks made the reasonable
assumption that one would be using Xcode on OS X and they could do it
this way.

This probably explains why OS X developers coming to CMake keep
wanting to copy the framework into the App bundle at build time and
not wait for "Install" time like CMake basically has us doing now.
Just a different way of accomplishing the same thing but it does come
with caveats.

The OP will probably have to add a custom_command to copy the SDL
framework into the .app bundle after building. Then the OP should
verify that when the .app package gets copied to the install location
that the entire .app package is copied, which will bring with it the
SDL framework and so BundleUtilities will just basically skip past the
SDL fixup/copy because it is already "correct".

Just my thoughts.

Its a cultural difference also. Mac developers think of creating the
complete application as part of the build process. A Mac app generally
contains everything it needs so you can just drag it to another
machine and run it. I would never want a half-baked app that is wired
into my machine. Copying the libraries into the app isn't part of
"installation", its part of "building"... Copying the app somewhere
else is "installation" i.e. a no-op as far as my build process is
concerned.

In the case of OS X bundles, don't think of it like "installation". It's more like "finishing up".

How about adding some logic to target_link_libraries that writes a file, similar to depend.internal, mapping the install-name of the linked libraries to their location (if a full path has been used for linking). This file could then be used by BundleUtilities.cmake. Probably one would need to black-list certain directories (such as /System/Library/Frameworks), or is this already done?

BundleUtilities avoids copying "system" files -- they are expected to be
installed everywhere by virtue of the fact that they "belong" to the OS.
Files in /System do not get copied in by default with the BundleUtilitles
fixup routines.

Most of our examples of using BundleUtilities occur at "make install" time
via cmake scripts, but you could just as easily use them as part of a
post-build custom command step on your bundle, as long as all of the
dependent pieces are ready to be assembled.

HTH,
