macOS Compile error (git master 3.1.3) property 'effectiveAppearance' not found Topic is solved

[rocrail]

Hi,

after a git pull, and a new configure command:

Code: Select all

../configure --enable-unicode --with-osx_cocoa --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.14 --enable-graphics_ctx --enable-monolithic --enable-compat28 --disable-mediactrl

I get the following compile error:

Code: Select all

/Users/rob/Projects/wxWidgets/macbuild/bk-deps g++ -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.14 -c -o monodll_generic_caret.o  -D__WXOSX_COCOA__      -DWXBUILDING -I/Users/rob/Projects/wxWidgets/macbuild/src/tiff/libtiff -I../src/tiff/libtiff -I../src/jpeg -I../src/png  -I../src/regex  -I../src/stc/scintilla/include -I../src/stc/scintilla/lexlib -I../src/stc/scintilla/src -D__WX__ -DSCI_LEXER -DNO_CXX11_REGEX -DLINK_LEXERS -DwxUSE_BASE=1 -DWXMAKINGDLL  -dynamic -fPIC -DPIC -Wall -Wundef -Wunused-parameter -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-deprecated-declarations -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/Users/rob/Projects/wxWidgets/macbuild/lib/wx/include/osx_cocoa-unicode-3.1 -I../include -O2 -fno-common -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden ../src/generic/caret.cpp
../src/osx/carbon/utilscocoa.mm:630:48: error: property 'effectiveAppearance' not found on object of type '__kindof NSApplication *'
        NSAppearance.currentAppearance = NSApp.effectiveAppearance;

How can I solve this compile error?
macOS=10.14.3

Hi,
This trype of things are better reported to the wx-dev ML. This forum is for users of the library and it is managed by the users.

In the meantime check the commit log here and if you don't see anything as a possible fix, please send an e-mail to wx-dev ML.
When you do, put in complete configure line you used and make sure you did completely remove the old build directory (no old remnants).

Thank you.

1. Does it work when you compile stable version?
2. do you really need wx28 compatibilty (see --enable-compat28)?

[rocrail]

Yes, the stable version is OK.
The Git master was also OK until last week.
I use the master because of the Dark Theme support.

Hi,
Just for test - can you create a clean checkout and try to compile?

Thank you.

[rocrail]

Thanks!
That did the trick.

So make clean and configure does not always get it straight.

Hi,
I usually remove the build directory completely and the create it again. Something like

Code: Select all

cd wxWidgets
rm -rf buildGTK
mkdir buildGTK
../configure...... && make

Remember the build creates the hidden directories which are not removed by "make clean". Why - I don't know.

Thank you.
