Building QxOrm 1.2.8 with Boost 1.56.0 on OSX fails

[doulos]

Hello all,

I just tried to build QxOrm under OSX 10.9.4 on top of a freshly compiled and installed boost 1.56.0. The first thing I saw was a few compile errors which originated in QxSerialze_shared_ptr.h, mentioning something about "singleton" and "extended_type_info" not being defined in namespace "boost::serialization". The compile errors actually originated from boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp, which led me to conclude that the issue could be mended by adding appropriate #includes to QxSerialze_shared_ptr.h. So I added

Code: Select all

#include <boost/serialization/extended_type_info.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/singleton.hpp>

in front of

Code: Select all

#include <boost/serialization/shared_ptr.hpp>

and the compile went through! However, now I am faced wilth linker errors shown below that I cannot make sense of. Note that I looked into libboost_serialization.a (using gobjdump), and it says "file format mach-o-x86-64", and there are entry points that look like the ones missing, however not exactly.. Has anyone successfully built the configuration at hand?

Code: Select all

Hello,

#include <boost/serialization/extended_type_info.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/singleton.hpp>

This is not normal : the only file you can change in the QxOrm package is the QxOrm.pri file.
You should not change any other files.
If you have a problem with boost 1.56 (I didn't test it yet, just released a few days ago), then you should install boost 1.55 : there is no problem with this version.

now I am faced wilth linker errors shown below that I cannot make sense of.

Yes, thanks to another user (Lamont Peterson), it seems that you can find the solution here : https://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/35646
So you should add this line in your *.pro file (or in the QxOrm.pri file) : QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.9
And maybe this line too : macx:QMAKE_MAC_SDK=macosx10.9
