Can't build standalone anymore

[Fredos]

MacOS Mojave 10 14 6, LiveCode 9 6 1

Since I updated to LC 9 6 1, when trying to build standalone for MacOS, it fails and I get "XCRun error : invalid active developer path"
Same MacOS Mojave 10 14 6 and LiveCode 9 6 0 worked fine.
Looks like scrun is missing from path "Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/" (even whole bin folder missing there)
Copying the whole bin folder from usr didn't fix.
What's the fix ?
Thanks

Dunno: over "here" on macOS 11.0 beta 5, LC 9.6.1 builds standalones without
a hitch.

Hi.

So without changing anything, if you try to build your standalone in 9.5 it works fine? And the EXACT same stack file(s) with the exact same procedure fails in 9.6? The exact same inclusions, etc.?

I also had no problems migrating upwards.

I am building standalones without any of that; so that is NOT
your problem.

Your problem may lie here: it seems to cause a series of "hiccups":

Anyone sending it by email at fredos(at)me(dot)com ?

Just to mention more infos, I did a fresh install on my MacBook Pro (MacOS 10-14-6 too) where LiveCode never was installed before,
still get the same error when trying to build the standalone.

Hello all,

Try typing this in the Terminal, and then try again to build a standalone (you might need to quit and reopen LC):

Code: Select all

sudo xcode-select --install

This command will hopefully install the missing command line tools that are needed for building the Mac standalone

That worked ! Thanks for it.

Is there anything that might be of general interest in the solution you provided?

Hello Craig,

If you build Mac standalones, then you need to keep that in mind. Starting from LC 9.6.0 (I think), the standalone builder includes an ad-hoc signature in the Mac standalones. This was needed for preventing an error on Catalina, if you had built the standalone in a different machine (https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22702).

But for adding an ad-hoc signature, you need the codesign tool. This tool is included in Xcode, so if you develop iOS apps and have Xcode already installed, you will not get the error Fredos got. If not, you need to install codesign, and the easiest way to do so is by updating the command line tools, using the terminal command I posted.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Panos

I recently upgraded to Catalina MacOSX, and to LC 9.6.1. I have installed Xcode 11.5 which has the SDK 13.5, which this version of LC demands, but I am getting the same error message as Fredos when trying standalone build for iOS.

I have tried the terminal command you suggested, but I get a message that the software can't be downloaded because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

Is there something I am missing?
