Building on MacOS and get "use of undeclared identifier" error

acha · January 19, 2023, 12:06pm

Build Device: MacBook 2021 with M1 Pro, MacOS 13.0.1
Target Device: NanoPi R2s with RK3328 SoC

At first I built it with multi-thread, most of the package builds well but uboot failed

Then I tried to build uboot only with single thread, and get lots of use of undeclared identifier error

Full Output

Thanks if anyone can help

Instead of building on raw macOS, fire up a Linux (Debian works fine) VM, and follow the Linux build guide. IIRC macOS is not a supported build host, not directly.

Borromini · January 19, 2023, 3:29pm

MacOS should work, but for x86_64 devices. AFAIK ARM64 ones are largely untested.

frollic · January 19, 2023, 3:37pm

Free oracle cloud FTW again

giuliomagnifico · January 19, 2023, 4:01pm

Yes I also had lots of errors with M1 Macs... also because "the GCC compiler is too newer" or something similiar, I ended by compiling my build on the oracle VM. Way better!

acha · January 19, 2023, 4:51pm

Do you use the Ampere A1 VM? This one is based on ARM too... Does it work well?

frollic · January 19, 2023, 5:01pm

read the other thread ?

Some time ago, I successfully built openwrt on MacOS12, but now its MacOS13
I guess it's caused by Apple Clang, heres my gcc version

version info

gcc -v && llvm-gcc -v && clang -v
Apple clang version 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin22.1.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin
Apple clang version 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin22.1.0

Finally I successfully build it on a suck x86 Debian machine, and it took me 1.5 hours

giuliomagnifico · January 19, 2023, 5:37pm

Yes but it’s running on Oracle OS (CentOS), not macOS.

I haven’t digged into what’s the issue with macOS and the OpenWrt build environment, I just tried one time on an external SSD and I saw lots of weird errors due to the gcc compiler (too newer IIRC), then I switched to Oracle VM.

I build my images for the NanoHDs and the RPi4 in a macOS 13 on an M1 Pro. Just make sure you have all your GNU tools installed using brew, and that you export the right PATHs before firing up the build.

PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/make/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/gnu-getopt/bin:$PATH"
PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"
PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/grep/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

acha · January 20, 2023, 4:38am

I created the env.sh following [OpenWrt Wiki] Build system setup macOS
And Im pretty sure that my PATH is correct

PATH
