macOS 10.15.6: Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64

[scientificworld]

When I run make, it shows this:

/bin/sh: fbc: command not found

So I tried to run make bootstrap.
But when linking, it tells me:

So how can I compile it on macOS?

[rversteegen]

First of all, it looks like you're trying to compile a program that makes use of graphics routines. But you can't compile such a program on Mac, as libfbgfx has not been ported to Mac*. Your options are either to stick to console programs, or use an external library like SDL or GTK or OpenGL.

Where did you get your bootstrap copy of the source code? The official bootstrap package doesn't include darwin (Mac OSX).
I did notice that you previously asked about the Mac port in #127 (comment).

*There is an unfinished and unmerged SDL2 backend for fbgfx though, which would allow a Mac port if it gets finished.

[rversteegen]

Oh, my mistake, you got those errors because you ran make bootstrap, which tries to compile libfbgfx.

Edit makefile, find the line
bootstrap: rtlib gfxlib2 $(BOOTSTRAP_FBC)
near the bottom, and delete gfxlib2 from it.

[scientificworld]

Oh, my mistake, you got those errors because you ran make bootstrap, which tries to compile libfbgfx.

Edit makefile, find the line
bootstrap: rtlib gfxlib2 $(BOOTSTRAP_FBC)

Thanks. I'll try it.

I just found this line:
bootstrap: gfxlib2 bootstrap-minimal
And I try to remove gfxlib2, but it doesn't work.
There are still several errors when linking:

So where is the main function?

Thank you so much. I successfully compiled it with gcc.

I'm sorry to bother you, but why I get an error when I was compiling an "Hello World" program?

$ fbc x.bas -gen llvm

[rversteegen]

-gen llvm probably won't work on Mac (I've never tried it); use -gen gcc instead. In fact the -gen llvm emitter isn't finished and can't be used in general. Actually you shouldn't need -gen gcc since in my mac branch (which srvaldez also used) makes that the default.

Which build are you using?

I use -gen gcc and it tells me:

[rversteegen]

So which build of fbc are you using? Apparently you're using mine. Try using srvaldez's instead, see here. Looks like srvaldez patched it to not include crt1.o. I don't know why I didn't need to.

Also, make sure that fbc is invoking the homebrew gcc you installed, not the system gcc which is a symlink to clang. You can add -v to fbc's args to see what it's doing, and can set the GCC environmental variable to set whch gcc to use.

I hope it's not the case that Homebrew gcc has dropped -masm=intel.

main() is probably missing from your .c file because you ran fbc -r x.bas instead of fbc -r x.bas -m x. -m x tells that x.bas is the main module, which isn't implicit when using -r.

start is defined in crt1.o. Apparently starting in roughly mac OS 10.12, /usr/lib/crt1.o no longer exists, but will be created if you install "Command Line Tools for Mac OS X"? But that might have changed in macOS 10.15 and now that file is never created?

Looks like FreePascal may have hardcoded '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib as a library search path.

Try:
fbc x.bas -p '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib

If that doesn't work, try finding the correct patch by doing:

> clang -print-search-dirs

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools//SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/lib/crt1.10.6.o

Also, if you run into further problems try compiling my mac branch instead of fbc/master, it has many fixes for Mac compile problems. It's currently a year behind the upstream master, but if that's a problem I could pull upstream. However I wouldn't actually be able to test it myself, since I don't have access to a Mac for about another week.

(Ignore that mention of the "don't link to crt1.o" commit I pushed; I reverted it after better understanding the problem)

Is there any way not to link it? Because when HomeBrew upgrade gcc, the symlink will be deleted.

[savetz]

So... does fbc work on Mac or not?

[rversteegen]

Well, there are no official builds FreeBASIC builds for Mac (and Mac/darwin isn't even included in the official bootstrap package). So I would say that FB's Mac port isn't really officially supported, but it can be made to work with some effort (e.g. installing gcc and/or using the right commandline args), except that fbgfx, the builtin library for graphics, has not been ported to Mac. It certainly needs work.

(BTW, Jeff merged my mac branch into this official fbc repo, except for updates to the crt headers.)

However, links to srvaldez's builds seem to be dead. My ancient build of pre-release FB-1.06 for Mac is still up. Don't know if there's some other available. Unfortunately I rarely have access to a Mac, so haven't put up a new one yet, or properly tested FB 1.09 on Mac, but other people have tried FB 1.09.
You can also compile it yourself by creating a custom bootstrap package.

[scientificworld]

This issue is really old :D
Luckily I find the archive file of srvaldez's build for Catalina in my old Mac, you can download it below.
