Re: CMake

Hello.

It was nice meeting Al and Felix at FOSDEM 2017.
Allow me to restart this thread about 2 years after it first started.

I just managed to rebuild gnucap on my Mac.
Please have a look in the branch update_cmake_osx_build [1].
I merged the latest autotools branch on my modified version of cmake
branch.
So, it now contains gnucap and CMake fixes.
It is running well. A few tests are failing. I will try to find out more
about them later.

I also had to create a /usr/local/bin/gnucap.rc containing:
"load /usr/local/lib/gnucap/gnucap-default-plugins.dylib"

For some reason it would not find the plugins:
===
main version: unstable 2016.11.17
core-lib version: unstable 2016.11.17
load gnucap-default-plugins.dylib
     ^ ? dlopen(gnucap-default-plugins.dylib, 6): image not found
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type Exception_CS
Abort trap: 6
===

So, CMake is working for me.

So far I haven't tried the Make1, Make2, Make3 makefiles.

I also tried fixing the autotools build, see [2] (which is now based on
[1]).
It builds fine but I am unable to run it. See bellow:

From the build directory:
===
[autotools-osx]~/git/gnucap $ ./main/gnucap
./main/gnucap.real: line 117:
/Users/guitorri/git/gnucap/main/.libs/gnucap.real: cannot execute binary
file
./main/gnucap.real: line 117:
/Users/guitorri/git/gnucap/main/.libs/gnucap.real: Undefined error: 0
===

After make install:
===
[autotools-osx]~/git/gnucap $ gnucap
-bash: /usr/local/bin/gnucap: cannot execute binary file
[autotools-osx]~/git/gnucap $ which gnucap
/usr/local/bin/gnucap
[autotools-osx]~/git/gnucap $ otool -L /usr/local/bin/gnucap
/usr/local/bin/gnucap:
.libs/gnucap.real (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/usr/local/lib/libgnucap.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
1238.0.0)
/usr/lib/libedit.3.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version
3.0.0)
/usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (compatibility version 5.4.0, current version
5.4.0)
/usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
307.4.0)
===

How to proceed to get the functioning patches upstream?
Shall I split the patches targeting unstable, cmake and autotools branches?

Best regards,
Guilherme
