How to Build ClickHouse on Linux for Mac OS X
This is for the case when you have Linux machine and want to use it to build clickhouse
binary that will run on OS X. This is intended for continuous integration checks that run on Linux servers. If you want to build ClickHouse directly on Mac OS X, then proceed with another instruction: https://clickhouse.yandex/docs/en/development/build_osx/
The cross-build for Mac OS X is based on the Build instructions, follow them first.
Install Clang-8
Follow the instructions from https://apt.llvm.org/ for your Ubuntu or Debian setup. For example the commands for Bionic are like:
sudo echo "deb [trusted=yes] http://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ llvm-toolchain-bionic-8 main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get install clang-8
Install Cross-Compilation Toolset
Let's remember the path where we install cctools
as ${CCTOOLS}
mkdir ${CCTOOLS} git clone https://github.com/tpoechtrager/apple-libtapi.git cd apple-libtapi INSTALLPREFIX=${CCTOOLS} ./build.sh ./install.sh cd .. git clone https://github.com/tpoechtrager/cctools-port.git cd cctools-port/cctools ./configure --prefix=${CCTOOLS} --with-libtapi=${CCTOOLS} --target=x86_64-apple-darwin make install cd ${CCTOOLS} wget https://github.com/phracker/MacOSX-SDKs/releases/download/10.14-beta4/MacOSX10.14.sdk.tar.xz tar xJf MacOSX10.14.sdk.tar.xz
Build ClickHouse
cd ClickHouse mkdir build-osx CC=clang-8 CXX=clang++-8 cmake . -Bbuild-osx -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Darwin \ -DCMAKE_AR:FILEPATH=${CCTOOLS}/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin-ar \ -DCMAKE_RANLIB:FILEPATH=${CCTOOLS}/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin-ranlib \ -DLINKER_NAME=${CCTOOLS}/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin-ld \ -DSDK_PATH=${CCTOOLS}/MacOSX10.14.sdk ninja -C build-osx
The resulting binary will have Mach-O executable format and can't be run on Linux.
