Support for setting Deployment Target and Base SDK

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I'm using macports to build static libraries (i.e. ffmpeg and its dependencies) which will eventually be linked into an embedded framework in an application that may be deployed on multiple platforms, including systems older than the one I'm building on. In this case I'd like to build on 10.12 and deploy on 10.9 or later.

In Xcode, I'd just set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 and be done.

It appears that macports had a similar macports.conf feature (universal_target) which was removed, linking back to r30396

Looking for a way to set this so that I don't get errors linking static libraries built with macorts into a framework with a different deployment target for instance:

ld: warning: object file (/Users/sgs/GotoReplay/Source/gotoreplay/Common/IOXMediaFoundation/FFmpeg/local/lib/libavutil.a(dict.o)) was built for newer OSX version (10.12) than being linked (10.9)

There are also valid reasons to set SDKROOT

You can set macosx_deployment_target and macosx_sdk_version in macports.conf. They're undocumented because not all ports honor these settings.

Replying to ryandesign:

Thanks, gave it a try and doesn't appear reliable: someone is linking agains the wrong C++ libraries (see errors below).

In general, this is something that ports shouldn't have to be aware of as it's at the compiler/linker level.

The problem is that Apple guarantees forward, but not backward ABI compatibilty unless the deployment target is set for the oldest supported OS.

I'll reopen as a feature request, but understand if resolution is "Can't do it because CMAKE sucks".

Since this is an undocumented option in macports.conf, you should also not expect this to be tested much. In this case, it looks like you have to dive into x265 to find out why it is being linked the wrong way. Note the cmake port group already passes -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=... and -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=.... Check that these configure options have the values you expect. Of course, patches to make ports honor the SDK selection are welcome and will be applied.

Thanks -- will give that a try eventually. Note that this was a small chunk of the errors, there are multiple ports misbehaving.

Need to evaluate if it will be quicker for my own need so just build the binary on a machine running 10.9 or require a MacPorts install on the target machine (which means I can't just ship an application).

As I noticed x265 has no other dependencies, I just gave it a spin and it works for me.

comment:6 Changed 7 years ago by ssisak (Steve Sisak)

It BUILDS fine -- those errors come from linking the static .a into a private Framework that deploys on 10.9

(Errors are from linking the .a with the framework)

The test would be to link the .a built by MacPorts into an application built targeting 10.9

My intent here is to build a static copy of FFmpeg into an embeddable framework (including some nice Objective-C/Swift wrappers) which can be open-sourced to comply with GPL2.

I also occurred to me that some of those errors might be the result of the framework not having C++, so let me check that as well.
