Notes on macOS ventura build. Patience through rvbuild "failure".

[sfjohnston]

In case this helps anybody, I compiled OpenRV on Ventura 13.4.1 today.

Used this gist (slightly modified) to create a sandboxed homebrew, as I don't want to mess with /usr/local:

https://gist.github.com/pudquick/29bc95b6c49703992981864e48f8e341

Created a venv for the pip stuff to keep it sandboxed as well:

$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

Removed "--user" from the rvsetup alias line in rvcmds.sh since we're using venv.

Add this to the rvcfg alias:
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-Wprofile-instr-unprofiled

Something has a hardcoded path to python3.8, and in order to succeed, I needed to symlink my brew's python (3.9) as python3.8.
ln -s python python3.8

$ source rvcmds.sh

rvbootstrap
rvbuild

Initially, without the CXX_FLAGS change, rvbootstrap fails, but continued issuing of rvbuild eventually succeeds. (Hammer)
By suppressing this warning with the CXX_FLAGS, ninja no longer fails. (Scalpel)
I did have to run rvbuild an extra time to complete things after libssl stopped it.

Since the minor changes to rvcmds.sh are more about my setup, I don't think they warrant a pull request.
However, I thought these notes might prove useful to other macOS RV builders.

The result is an intel binary, so it's using Rosetta. I haven't poked around to see about compiling for Apple Silicon.

Hey! Thanks a lot for the notes and for the 'hammer' trick !!! It worked for me

This was extremely helpful for me, worked like a charm. Thank you! One additional step I had to take was to allow terminal to make changes to other applications in privacy and security settings under app management.

hey @sfjohnston @GatesARC @onlyquads
I am compiling for Ventura 13.0
My default shell is zsh, in that I have already done python alias
alias python='python3'
but running the cmake build command
I get this error

any idea on this?

[sfjohnston]

Most likely the alias for python in your shell isn’t making it to the sub shell that is executing the commands, thus the python not found error. If you can make a symlink from python to python3 you should get over this hurdle.

In case you didn't figure this out:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python

You may need to run this in sudo.
