[Discuss-gnuradio] fusb_darwin.cc compile fails on Mac OS X Snow Leopard with -arch x86_64

[Jonathan P Jacky]

I am building from gnuradio-3.2.2.tar from Trac on an iMac9,1 with an
Intel Core 2 Duo running Mac OS X 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard), XCode version
3.2, gcc version 4.2.1.

I am following the directions at
https://radioware.nd.edu/documentation/install-guides/mac-os-x
and just got all the prerequisites from macports for this build.

I am building one component at a time.  I built gnuradio-core (but
with one wrinkle - see PPS below).

The build for usrp failed, in particular the compile for
fusb_darwin.cc failed with these error messages, among others (full
compile command with output appears in PPPS below):

 fusb_darwin.cc:348: error: cast from s_both<s_buffer*>* to unsigned int loses 
precision
 fusb_darwin.cc:391: error: cast from void* to UInt32 loses precision
 ... etc. ...

I suspected a 32 vs. 64 bit problem so I tried typing the compile
command by hand with the -m32 option to supercede the default -arch
86x_64 option.  It compiled.  Looking at the output file of this
compilation, along with some others, I find:

 d-128-95-165-159:legacy mrfm$ file .libs/fusb*
 .libs/fusb.o:                  Mach-O 64-bit object x86_64
 .libs/fusb_darwin.o:           Mach-O object i386
 .libs/fusb_sysconfig_darwin.o: Mach-O 64-bit object x86_64

So it seems fusb_darwin.cc compiles for 32 bits but not 64.  This Stackoverflow 
thread
discusses the general issue:

 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1455720/mac-osx-10-6-compiler-a-puzzling-experience-
with-32-vs-64-bit

It looks complicated.  I'm not sure how best to proceed.  Please advise.

PS - I also tried installing gnuradio-usrp from macports.  It also
fails at compiling fusb_darwin.cc with the same messages (but
different line numbers, I suppose because it is 3.2 not 3.2.2).  In
the macports compile commands, the -arch x86_64 option is explicit; it
does not appear in the compile commands from the Trac build.

PPS - I did have a problem building gnuradio-core: at first the
compile for gnuradio-core/src/lib/filter/float_dotprod_sse.S and
several other *sse.S files failed with messages like:

 float_dotprod_sse.S:63:suffix or operands invalid for `push'

This post says the error message indicates 32-bit code where 64-bit is expected:

 http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/address@hidden/6122483.html

Just to get the build to complete, I made symbolic links from
float_dotprod_sse64.S to float_dotprod_sse.S (etc. for the other .S files).

I also had this same problem with the macports build.

PPPS Here is the complete compile command for fusb_darwin.cc which failed, and
