building 1.8.12 on osx fails

Hdf-forum archives

Hello,

I build HDF 1.8.12 on OSX (Montain Lion & Mavericks) and I get at the end of the build the error:

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:31 (FILE):
  file cannot create directory: /HDF5
  1.8.12.framework/Versions/1.8.12/HDF5/include. Maybe need administrative
  privileges.

I don't want to create a OSX framework or anything else, cmake should build only
the libs and installed it to the prefix directory with the header files. How can
I disable the framework build?

Thanks

Phil

Phil,

   This issue was just discovered after the release. The problem is in the
CMakeInstallation.cmake file starting at line 232. An IF
(HDF5_PACK_MACOSX_BUNDLE) needs to surround lines 232-241.
The problem is line 235 which needed an IF(NOT DEFINED CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)
around it.

./configure && make install works for me.

I am hoping as more and more OS X HDF5 Builders hit this issue that the HDFGroup will reassess the fix and PLEASE put out a revised source release (not a patch to apply to the sources). This is really a show stopper bug on OS X and should be fixed immediately.

Thanks

Correct,
  The issue is with the CMake build system. The AutoConf build system seems to work just fine.

Does this happen with a vanilla build? What's different about my 3 Mac buildbots that don't show any problem?

Dear HDF5 users,

We replaced the HDF5 1.8.12 source tar ball (see http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html) with the source that contains a fix for the OS X CMake installation problem.

Have a great weekend!

Elena

The build bots do not have a test to actually try to "install" HDF5 anywhere. And if they _do_ happen to have that test, then the test is being run with root privs. The issue is that CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is over ridden on install with a path starting with "/" which means the root level of your hard drive. 99% of OS X users do not have privs set to allow this so a test that tried to do the default install would fail. Additionally since CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is over ridden you have no control over where it is installed.
