mac os x port, less than alpha version

Since the question has popped up a couple of times, I will open this one to
collect the efforts regarding a Mac OS X port of the RTT.

Mac OS X uses the posix API, however it implements almost nothing of the posix
real-time extensions (1003.1b). Note that the use of these "real-time"
extensions doesn't mean the Mac OS X port will warrant real-time behaviour of
the RTT (not at all!).

Attached is a first "less-than-alpha" patch, which modifies the gnulinux code
in order to compile on mac os x.
That said, it only compiles (you have been warned).

Some notes about the patch.
- Idealiter, I think this project would result in a posix port of the RTT, with
some ifdef statements for non-portable (e.g. as currently in the gnulinux port)
or non-implemented (as will be necessary for mac os x).
- I've tested this on a Tiger (10.4) system (a white macbook, intel cpu) using
the fink system to install dependencies (boost/cppunit).
* I don't know what the state of Leopard is regarding the posix extensions.
* Unfortunately, the cppunit port that comes with fink www.finkproject.org is
still the deprecated 1.10 version, resulting in compiler errors with the gcc on
my macbook (virtual functions, but non-virtual destructors). This is where I
gave up :-) It seems like the macports project www.darwinports.com has a more
recent version though.
- The patch solves some issues (most of them 1003.1b stuff)
* No pthread_recursive_np defined in mac os x 10.4 (they omit the np prefix)
* No clock_gettime defined in mac os x 10.4 (solved by using gettimeofday)
* No sem_timedwait defined -> THE IMPLEMENTATION JUST MAKES IT COMPILE, AND
WON'T WORK.
- It adds some cmake logic to use the fink include path in /sw. Won't be
necessary with macport I guess.
- For now, I didn't even review the patch, I just checked it compiled, ran into
the cppunit error, svn diffed it, and uploaded it here. So although I guess it
must be possible to get it working in a day or so, this is not for the
faint-hearted people amongst you :-)

If no one objects, I will delete the branches in a couple of days. In case of
problems with the port, please submit a new bug.

I'm very grateful for this work. This improved many aspects of the build system
and also found a 'hole' in the OS layer, learning us we shouldn't rely on
sem_value() (which is a racy function anyway). Thanks for condensing many hours
of work in such a clean patch.

What remains for RTT:
* Find out why some unit tests don't build (if they don't, the apps will
neither)
* Remove sem_value()
* Improve the orocos-rtt-*.pc files such that the private libs go into
Libs.private.
* In my setup, the cflags also contained -I/usr/include. That should be
avoided on gnulinux platforms.

Fix Corba pkgconfig files for non-standard ACE/TAO location

This adds to #346 and patches RTT (on trunk) so that a non-standard location
for the ACE/TAO installation will work. This is particularly needed for Mac OS
X.

Builds fine under Linux, and also Mac OS X (with this patch, #346 and #347, out
on the macosx branch).

Fundamentally just adds values to the corba .pc file, and adds a couple of
extra ORO_ACETAO_xxx values in UseCorba.cmake.

OCL on Mac OS X now compiles with this one ... :-)

Since orocos-rtt-corba.pc depends on orocos-rtt-@OROCOS_TARGET@,
the "-DOROCOS_TARGET=@OROCOS_TARGET@ @RTT_CFLAGS@" flags should be added
automatically by pkg-config. I guess we can omit these.

So we should get:

orocos-rtt-.pc:
* Libs: only contains the -L... and -lorocos-rtt- directives
* Libs.private: the RTT_LINKFLAGS
* Cflags: -I${includedir} -DOROCOS_TARGET=@OROCOS_TARGET@ @RTT_CFLAGS@

* Libs: only contains the -L... and -lorocos-rtt-corba- directives

OK ?

The rest looks fine. We're really improving.

How about this then? Hope the patch comes through ok.

Successfully built RTT/KDL/OCL and our application code, in both Linux

I almost did this, and went the more conservative route instead.

I'm not too sure about this. I _think_ the Libs.private won't be
adequate when linking dynamic libraries on the Mac, due to it's desire
to see _all_ associated libraries when linking together a dynamic
library. Why don't I test this first.

Any chance that this patch (and #347 for KDL) can be applied on the Mac OS X
branch too? The problems these patches solve are really present out there.

This might make merging later more fun .... :-(

I have created 2 patches to be applied 1 or 2 weeks ago. I have the impression that the corba things are not a os x specifc problem so I would really prefer to have the 2 mac os x patches reviewed and if ok, applied to trunk. I don't see the point in maintaining 2 branches just for fun (I'm not a DVCS user ;-)

RTT Corba patch


Get RTT to compile with corba, for non-standard install location.

Adds UseCorba.cmake file to encapsulate logic about varying ACE/TAO installs

and platforms.

Fixes some namespace resolution issues

Fixes assumptions on ACE_DIR/TAO_DIR



It looked ok at first sight. Let's see if other people can live with this patch
as well...


Forgot to mention that this one (and the KDL one) have both been tested on a Linux system also, so hopefully no gotcha's.

OCL mac os x patch

Dear maintainer, ...

Notes:
- has undergone same testing as rtt patch
- Hardware stuff hasn't been tested (and won't work for mac os x without
additional code in most cases)
- there might still be some corba issues, but I guess they are not mac os x
specific, so we can/should fix these later on trunk

Again, Thanks Stephen!

patch to merge on trunk/rtt

Dear RTT maintainer, please review :-)

Patch has been tested on Mac OS X 10.4/10.5 with fink/macports, and it seems it
doesn't break stuff for gnulinux build (tested on ubuntu/debian)

Some notes about this patch (more info in previous comments):
- Some tests are not yet performed (probably compiler issues)
- cp -a doesn't work on mac os x
- implementing sem_value() seems not straightforward

Thanks Stephen Roderick for patches and testing!

I think I'm hitting a similar problem over and over. I've got RTT and
KDL compiling fine with Corba on the Mac, but are having troubles with
OCL. It's the same sort of trouble I had with KDL, just a lot more of
it (and I don't want to keep hacking CMake files when a better overall
solution is available, I think).

I think it stems from a mix of your above two comments, Peter. We're
not carrying around all the information about non-standard-install-
dirs (ACE+TAO in this case). From CMake output for OCL


-- Looking for orocos-rtt-corba-macosx >= 1.3.0 -- found
Detected CORBA build for macosx
-- Looking for orocos-rtt-corba-macosx -- found
Includes in: /opt/code/nrl/mac-local/include;/opt/local/include

CMake knows about the libraries it needs from the pkgconfig file, but
it isn't carrying the extra link dirs that are required. If we fill
out the associated pkgconfig information completely (defines, include
dirs and link dirs), then I think we might be able to avoid some
(all?) of the problems of modifying individual CMakeLists.txt files in
each dir. Basically, I think Orocos is already set up to handle this.
Either we should add the link-dirs, etc, data to the pkgconfig file,
or we should take out the libraries and put all that information in
some other singular place.

This problem is particularly evident on the Mac, where linking of each
dynamic library requires that all other dynamic libraries referenced
from this library be known at link time.

Thoughts?

Getting there ... definitely we're getting there ...

How about following CMake style, and adding a UseCorba.cmake file in
rtt/config? This file would add the necessary definitions, include
dirs, and link dirs as appropriate. FindCorbaDeps would then just need
to record what those additional values need to be. Each subdir/
CMakeLists.txt interested in Corba would just include the UseCorba
file, rather than individually specify the definitions, include dirs,
etc.

Thoughts?

Good idea. The OCL has probably even more need for such a system than the
quite static RTT build system.

Yes, OCL is definitely a different beast. I noticed that it pulls some
of the libraries and flags out of the pkgconfig files for RTT (and
prob. for KDL, I imagine). Problem is (and I thought I previously
posted on this, but can't find it ...) that the Corba libraries are in
the pkgconfig data, but not the additional compiler defines that are
actually needed to compile against.

Also, I noticed a bug in the Mac version in that the corba libraries
are in both the orocos-rtt-macosx pkgconfig as well as the orocos-rtt-
corba-macosx. This is not the case with the Linux version. I will look
into it.

So the question is, when dealing with Corba in OCL, does OCL go
looking for it with a pair of FindCorba/UseCorba cmake files, or do we
use data out of RTT's pkgconfig files (which means we'd have to update
RTT to put out everything required)?

Then these should be added in the orocos-rtt-corba-.pc file as well
(and used by the OCL cmake logic)... I believe they were not included because
the Linux version did not require them.

The RTT_CFLAGS, RTT_LINKFLAGS, etc., variables appear to be project-
wide global flags for everything to build against. They also end up in
the pkgconfig files. Problem is, Orocos is currently mixing Corba-
related variables in there (see rtt/src/corba/CMakeLists.txt). This
pollutes the non-corba RTT pkgconfig file on non-Linux installations
(and most likley, on Linux installations with a Corba distribution in
a non-standard location).

Are the corba-related variables only needed by the corba-related
RTTdirectories (src/corba/ and the corba_test in tests/)? If this is
the case, I think the src/corba/CMakeLists.txt file should be modified
to not affect the global RTT_FLAGS, etc. If other directories and
source files do need access to these corba-related variables, then I
think we need to separate them out into RTT_CFLAGS and
RTT_CORBA_CFLAGS (or something similar). A question then is does the
corba RTT pkgconfig file then need both RTT_CFLAGS and
RTT_CORBA_CFLAGS, or just the corba flags?

Thoughts?

No they aren't. They are only meant for the pkgconfig files. Project wide
global flags are set using the CMAKE equivalents. That's because the flags
with which you link/compile your application are different than those we use
to build the library itself.

That's a trick: they are temporarily extended (scope is corba subdir) to
generate the orocos-rtt-corba .pc file.

There are certainly bugs in these flags, when I set it up, it was the first
time I worked with .pc files. Normally the TAO libs must be listed in the
Libs.private, because you only need to know them when linking against the
static orocos-rtt-corba library. So the first bug seems that the
RTT_LINKFLAGS must be set in that section and not in the Libs section...

Pollution only happens if the variable is stored in an ENV{} construct.

The plain orocos-rtt .pc file is corba independent. The orocos-rtt-corba .pc
file adds the corba flags. It should work already like that, or it's a bug.

The current way is detecting if the orocos-rtt-corba-.pc file is
there, and if so, store the TAO flags found in there in
OROCOS_RTT_CORBA_LIBS. So we use the exact same settings as detected by the
RTT. In which way would you improve this ?

I have a feeling we're mixing OS X specific and non-specific changesets here. I would prefer to have some stuff (e.g. ) merged on trunk first, and then evaluate/apply an OS X specific patch onto the branch. That will make it easier to evaluate the patches (they should be much smaller for a start). Thoughts?

Agreed. If you consider that #581 is a valid bug that needs fixing, it
makes sense to apply it to the trunk first. I was personally not
considering it OS X specific, just that it had been noticed while
doing work on that branch.

It's a bug in the compiler, it's valid C++.

This was a bug and fixed in r29487. A previous patch had changed the interface
from returning an ControlTaskProxy* to returning a TaskContext*. This was
necessary because the ControlTaskProxy may in fact return the *real*
TaskContext in case the TaskContext is in the same process and thus no proxy is
needed.
The unit test's corba_test.h needed to be changed to TaskContext*. Your patch
for corba_test.cpp is wrong.

Ok, but is that part of the patch acceptable? I presume it won't bother non-buggy compilers? (which I will go and test now)

Confirm that the macosx branch (r29517) compiles - RTT fine on both Mac OS X and Ubuntu Gutsy (ie Orocos gnulinux). - KDL fine on both Mac and Ubuntu, but is having problems installing on Mac as one of the generated files in the corba bindings is missing (I'll look at it another time) - OCL fine on Ubuntu

This tree does include some recent patches that aren't yet committed.

I also did not need to explicitly specify where Boost was to cmake. It found it for itself! :-) S

Committed this with 2 small changes:
- Fixed the ifdef __DARWIN__
- Fixed a compile error in your patch, where you called setsockopt(). the
socket variable was not known over there, I guess you meant mainClass->socket.

Can you test and confirm? TIA!

Get Corba to work

This is a PITA ... but the corba-test now passes. :-)

I'll document the whole thing, as it is a tiny bit involved

Downloaded ACE+TAO 5.6.5. Built with standard "configure; make; make install"
and installed to non-standard (/usr/include, etc) location.

The ACE install does not copy some of the files we need from the source dir to
the install dir. Have not yet found a configuration option that controls this.
Manually copy the following files from /path/to/source/ACE_WRAPPERS to
/path/to/ace/install/

ace/Svc_Conf_Token_Table.h
ace/Unbounded_Set_Ex.h
ace/Unbounded_Set_Ex.inl
ace/Unbounded_Set_Ex.cpp

For Mac OS X 10.5.4 plus Macports

export ACE_ROOT=/path/to/ace/install/include
export TAO_ROOT=/path/to/ace/install/include
export CMAKE_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/local/include
export CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH=/path/to/ace/install/bin
ccmake -DBOOST_INSTALL=/opt/local/include ..
make

Add /path/to/ace/install/lib to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and then
make check
./tests/corba-test

The attached patch is required. I'm not happy with a couple of bits of it,
particularly the mod's to `config/FindCorbaDeps.cmake`. Seems a little heavy
handed. Also the explicit namespace resolution is required (we've seen this
before with some of our code, not sure why the Mac gcc complains about this),
but I've no real qualms with this.

The last mod's, to tests/corba_test.c I think bring up a different issue. The
explicit casting is required, and I think is due to a bug or an inconsistency
in the interface. Internally, Corba::ControlTaskProxy::Create() actually
returns a Corba::ControlTaskProxy*, but the return type is TaskContext*. That
is not correct, as a ControlTaskProxy is multiply derived from TaskContext and
ApplicationServer. If you cast it to TaskContext*, you will at some point get
some "interesting" behaviour. Shouldn't the return type be
Corba::ControlTaskProxy*?

I'm reluctant to apply this patch. If your component uses an 'external' library
(kdl, opencv,...), it should link with it using COMPONENT_ADD_LIBS, such as
COMPONENT_ADD_LIBS( mycomponent ${KDL_LIBS} )

Which OCL component requires this ? In that case, it's CMakeLists.txt file
needs to be fixed instead.

Further patch to get OCL to compile/install. In Mac OS X (10.5 at least) you

need to link a dynamic library with _all_ dynamic libraries that it uses.


Hope the formatting is good Peter ... :-)

Tried the following
{{{
export CMAKE_INCLDUE_PATH=/opt/local/include
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/sw
ccmake ..
}}}
with RTT. CMake immediately failed to find boost headers.

:-(

Hey Stephen,

for boost, that's no surprise, I haven't adapted it (yet), since you can configure that in the ccmake interface via the variable boost_install!
For sure this should be changed to in the final version.

(Our http:// connections seem to fail, so I'm writing this answer in an email instead)

Can you try again (please :-)?

[Bug 533] Mac OS X port

Ok, here's what I know

- we're using two (2) different CMake methods to find files for boost,
readline, etc. In RTT we use the hacked CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_CXX() while
OCL uses FIND_PATH
- FIND_PATH _will_ use the CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH if specified in the
environment. Occasionally we have to use the CMake-suggested back to
back checks of FIND_PATH with the additional NO_DEFAULT_PATH to the
first option (e.g. readline on Mac OS X with a different version
installed by a package manager. Could easily happen in Linux also
though less likely)
- for me, OCL tends to find things better than RTT does
- one of my previous patches that you questioned the necessity for is
taken care of using FIND_PATH and CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH, so we could
clean some things up there

Personally, I would hope that the project could decide on one method
or the other and use it in all places. CMake logic can be fun enough,
without choosing two different ways to do things. :-)

I would suggest standardizing on FIND_PATH as it does take into
account CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH and also it has the counterpart
FIND_LIBRARY to find library files using the same approach.

Thoughts?

Yep :-)
See the thread on orocos-dev on "cmake CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE_CXX macro"
(our internet connection is still down :-((().
To sum up:
- I completely agree with all of the above.
- *IIRC* (no internet indeed...), the reason why I didn't merge the
patch you are referring to, was that it was overly complex (it
contained fixed paths that should have been submitted via the
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH variable instead).

Although the weather was bad this weekend, I spent too much time
watching the olympics, so patches are warmly welcomed :-)

Thx for the patch. Will have at look at it soon if Belgian weather stays as it
is today :-)

Is there a reason why you use #if __APPLE__ in one place and #if __DARWIN__ in
the other?

ps. Did you have a chance to test this one yet?

Further patch to get OCL to compile/install. In Mac OS X (10.5 at least) you
need to link a dynamic library with _all_ dynamic libraries that it uses.

Hope the formatting is good Peter ... :-)

No. I had to hardwire in the default MacPorts path to the FIND_XXX calls.
Notice that the Fink paths aren't there (wonder how this works for you?). I was
just getting at the fact that probably should centralise this list of
"non-standard paths". Originally we had a cmake variable deciding between Fink
and MacPorts, and then used that to generate the non-standard path of choice.
Either something like that, or maybe as simple as just add global cmake var's
that hold a list of non-standard include and lib dirs to use in FIND_XXX calls.
That way, only one place has to change if we need to add/modify the list.

Thoughts?

Yes, see
We shouldn't try to look everywhere. That results into disaster (especially when cross-compiling). It's up to the user to specify those non-standard locations via CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH etc., and the FIND_XXX calls take into account these. So maybe your patch wasn't even necessary?
