Package and Environment Details (include every applicable attribute)

Package Name/Version: boost/1.75.0
Operating System+version: MacOS 10.15.7
Compiler+version: Apple clang version 12.0
Conan version: conan 1.36.0
Python version: Python 3.8.10

Conan profile (output of `conan profile show default` or `conan profile show <profile>` if custom profile is in use)

[settings]
arch=x86_64

Steps to reproduce (Include if Applicable)

Building boost on macos fails with the following error:
ERROR: libunwind/1.5.0: Invalid configuration: libunwind is only supported on Linux and FreeBSD

It seems that #5420 has introduced a dependency on libunwind that cannot compile on macos

@madebr do you have a quickfix for this issue? boost with default options values can't be built anymore except on Linux, FreeBSD and with Visual Studio. It also means that there are no Boost pre-built binaries on Macos anymore.
This issue will propagate to all downstream recipes.

madebr · 2021-05-19T21:57:50Z

conan-center-index/recipes/boost/all/conanfile.py

Lines 241 to 243 in 630ce84

    
           # libbacktrace cannot be built on Visual Studio 
        
           if self.settings.compiler == "Visual Studio": 
        
               del self.options.with_stacktrace_backtrace

The test should include tools.is_apple_os(self.settings.os).

SpaceIm · 2021-05-19T22:01:21Z

And Windows instead of Visual Studio?

madebr · 2021-05-19T22:02:24Z

Looks like it.
libunwind only builds on FreeBSD and Linux.

SpaceIm · 2021-05-19T22:03:18Z

so:

if self.settings.os not in ["Linux", "FreeBSD"]:
    del self.options.with_stacktrace_backtrace

madebr · 2021-05-19T22:06:38Z

I think so. No promises 😉 .

SpaceIm · 2021-05-19T22:09:06Z

It should work, but it's misleading, backtrace can be built on Macos (and maybe also with MinGW, but the recipe is broken in this case), the issue comes from libunwind.

madebr · 2021-05-19T22:25:08Z

Mmm, I'm starting to doubt the combination of libunwind and libbacktrace.

I assumed they were closely linked because boost.build tests the presence of both libraries (headers):
https://github.com/boostorg/stacktrace/blob/b37e0d8e9f9613813534b6765559bdec693f34d5/build/has_backtrace.cpp#L7-L8
But it looks like addr2line also needs libunwind: https://github.com/boostorg/stacktrace/blob/08d720adbd01c0187af256eb491cffece7e87857/build/has_addr2line.cpp#L11

It also looks like no actual libunwind symbols are used in these tests.
boostorg/stacktrace#27 is the reason for that.

I think unwind.h is needed when building the stacktrace library as a whole.
Not only when building libstacktrace_backtrace.

It worked because unwind.h is provided by gcc and clang.

SpaceIm · 2021-05-20T11:53:23Z

Ok, so just remove libunwind dependency?

erathorus · 2021-05-22T15:06:17Z

I cannot install a downstream package of boost due to this error right now. Are there any way to avoid this error while the proper fix is being delivered?

SpaceIm · 2021-05-22T15:08:48Z

yes add option -o boost:with_stacktrace_backtrace=False

erathorus · 2021-05-22T15:10:45Z

Awesome! :)

ahmadbeirkdar · 2021-05-23T02:51:22Z

yes add option -o boost:with_stacktrace_backtrace=False

Seems like the option does not work on macOS, due to missing libraries

erathorus · 2021-05-23T02:54:06Z

I ended up cloning the recipe and reverted it back to the commit before libunwind was introduced.

ahmadbeirkdar · 2021-05-23T02:55:33Z

I ended up cloning the recipe and reverted it back to the commit before
libunwind was introduced.

Seems like this is the only option, in case this ever happens again...
