Hi,

I tried following the instructions. Aside from a build-couchdb issue that I filed separately, I had to change a few things.

1. xcodebuild expects the build folder to be in ../build-couchdb-1.2.1/build instead of ~/build
2. xcodebuild then expects erl to be in ~/build/bin. I tried link -sing the above build directory to ~/build, I got the build to succeed, but now the Erlang system that is used to start the server is in ~/build/. Testing the.appon another Mac then fails of course, because~/build` doesn’t exist.

This seems to be missing a little fiddling with paths and whatnot, but looks otherwise fairly robust to make proper releases with in an automated way. I am happy to help if I can get a few pointers :)

Hi Jan,

After build-couchdb, erl is a link to ../erlang/bin/erl. But that version has absolute paths. The OSX version needs to be fully relocatable and that is why the couchdbx-app comes with an own relocatable version. It is in the supporting files groups. A build phase rule copies that version into the couchdbx-core/bin directory.

[janl]

I understand that that’s what’s supposed to happen in theory, but it doesn’t. I end up with a non-relocatable .app file

Hm, can you please check the make.log file if the rule is executed? It should look like:

PBXCp "Couchbase Server/erl" "build/Release/Apache CouchDB.app/Contents/Resources/couchdbx-core/bin/erl"
cd /Users/hs/prj/couchdbx-app
builtin-copy -exclude .DS_Store -exclude CVS -exclude .svn -exclude .git -exclude .hg -strip-debug-symbols -strip-tool /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/strip -resolve-src-symlinks "/Users/hs/prj/couchdbx-app/Couchbase Server/erl" "/Users/hs/prj/couchdbx-app/build/Release/Apache CouchDB.app/Contents/Resources/couchdbx-core/bin"

It looks like the rule you mention does get executed.

But that doesn’t address the fact that the build directory is required in two locations, I’ll try to debug this some more.

[janl]

Yeah, there is definitely an oddity here:

> xcodebuild
[...]

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
    PBXCp ../build-couchdb-1.2.1/build/bin "build/Release/Apache CouchDB.app/Contents/Resources/couchdbx-core/bin"
    PBXCp ../build-couchdb-1.2.1/build/etc "build/Release/Apache CouchDB.app/Contents/Resources/couchdbx-core/etc"
    PBXCp ../build-couchdb-1.2.1/build/env.sh "build/Release/Apache CouchDB.app/Contents/Resources/couchdbx-core/env.sh"
    PBXCp ../build-couchdb-1.2.1/build/lib "build/Release/Apache CouchDB.app/Contents/Resources/couchdbx-core/lib"
(4 failures)

Why would it look in ../build-couchdb-1.2.1/build instead of ~/build as it says in the README?

When I copy/symlink ~/build to ../build-couchdb-1.2.1/build then I get xcodebuild to pass, but then it expects erl to be in ~/build

fixed this in janl@3110ca4

building this on 10.7 runs on 10.7 and 10.8.

Here is a link to the resulting binary/zip:

http://people.apache.org/~jan/Apache-CouchDB-1.2.1.zip

It still fails to be portable:

[15:48:58] jan____: /couchdbx-core/bin/couchdb: line 263: /Users/jan/build/bin/erl: No such file or directory on 10.8

[janl]

It looks like fix-paths.sh “absolutizes” bin/couchdb which puts in full paths for the machine this is built on. Absolutizing doesn’t seem to make sense if we try to build a relocatable file.

[janl]

These two made things work:

janl@3110ca4
janl@36dffe6

I didn't even expect that, that is awesome, thanks Ryan!
