Postgres found by cmake, but not by make (Mac Ventura)

[ultrasaurus]

attempting to build on M1 Mac, I was able to resolve some, but not all errors.

To make it find postgres on my machine, as well older version of OpenSSL which it seems to require:

cmake -DPostgreSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/postgresql@9.5/lib -DPostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/postgresql@9.5/include -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=. ..

To resolve warnings (below) and also find system includes on MacOS, I modified CMakeLists.txt to add the following lines right below the version check:

cmake_policy(SET CMP0114 NEW)
cmake_policy(SET CMP0135 NEW)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -I/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/")

cmake runs without error:

when I run make, I see this error:

then the make process continues until it halts at:

make: *** [all] Error 2

How do I make it so it finds Postgres in make?

Hi @ultrasaurus!

Seems like some CMake + OSX-specific problem. I'll try to take a deeper look over the next few days 😄

Is this critical for you? Since it's about migrating data, do you have another way to import the data?

[katarinasupe]

Hi @ultrasaurus! I managed to install mgmigrate on my Mac M1 after having similar issues.

Reproducing the error

Here are the steps I did to reproduce the error:

I installed XCode and Homebrew and ran:
brew install git cmake make openssl postgresql

After that, I ran:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR="$(ls -rd -- /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@1.1/* | head -n 1)" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=. ..

just like in the instructions.

I got the same error as you:

CMake Error at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.25.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
  Could NOT find OpenSSL, try to set the path to OpenSSL root folder in the
  system variable OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR (missing: OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY
  OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.25.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:600 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.25.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindOpenSSL.cmake:613 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
  CMakeLists.txt:42 (find_package)

Solution that worked for me

I then googled a bit and ran into this SO answer. Hence, I ran the following:

brew upgrade openssl

The output was: Warning: openssl 3.0.7 already installed
Then I ran:

mgmigrate % brew link --force openssl

Output:

Linking /opt/homebrew/Cellar/openssl@3/3.0.7... 5517 symlinks created.

If you need to have this software first in your PATH instead consider running:
  echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

I decided to go for it and ran:

echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

and in the end, ran the last command from the SO answer to check:

pkg-config --modversion openssl

Output: 3.0.7

I removed the build folder, created a new one, and ran:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR="$(ls -rd -- /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@3/* | head -n 1)" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=. ..

The above command is similar to the one in the README, but I changed the version of OpenSSL. After that, the build files were written to the build folder.

Let me know if that works for you.

[gitbuda]

Nice! Thanks 😄 Since it seems it's all about machine config, should be extend the README page and how?

[katarinasupe]

@gitbuda I will extend the README. I will just wait a bit for @ultrasaurus, to see if the provided solution helped.

[ultrasaurus]

yeah, I had to do some work to install an older version of SSL, will try with newer one and let you know

[ultrasaurus]

I needed to run...

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@3/lib/pkgconfig"

before this worked:

pkg-config --modversion openssl

For cmake to find my version of postgres, I needed to modify the command as:

cmake  -DPostgreSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/postgresql@9.5/lib -DPostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/postgresql@9.5/include -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR="$(ls -rd -- /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@3/* | head -n 1)" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=. ..

which was successful (as before), yet make failed as before:

[ 51%] No install step for 'postgresql-proj'
[ 53%] Completed 'postgresql-proj'
[ 53%] Built target postgresql-proj
make: *** [all] Error 2

So, I was able to revert my changes to CMakeLists.txt -- progress!

However, I'm still stuck with the same problem where make is not successful.

[katarinasupe]

@ultrasaurus, I did not manage to reproduce your error. Did you install the XCode, as mentioned in README? Did you have any progress in the meantime?

[ultrasaurus]

yes, I've installed XCode and command-line tools. The issue is around configuring a specific version/installation of Postgres.

I think I don't know enough about cmake to get it set up correctly. Is there something else I need to do to carry over the configuration to the make stage? or other suggestions for debugging?

[katarinasupe]

Hi @ultrasaurus,
the error message you provided gives too little info, so please:

1. use make -j1 to force single-threaded compilations, so the log messages are not mixed up
2. provide full logs
3. provide the exact versions of CMake, Make, OpenSSL, Postgres and MacOS

Also, I found a similar issue; maybe it helps.
