CodeLite IDE

After upgrade of brew yesterday, 3/20/2024, an install of CodeLite produces an app that is corrupted and so useless to me.

The problem is at least one library that brew does not load but that codelite needs. Here is a copy of a crash report generated when codelite starts on an Apple silicon mac.

Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing
Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew//libcrypto.1.1.dylib
Referenced from: <DD73C6E3-8CF6-3547-B7C6-AA2F6BFC23B1> /Applications/codelite.app/Contents/MacOS/libssh.4.dylib
Reason: tried: '/opt/homebrew//libcrypto.1.1.dylib' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew//libcrypto.1.1.dylib' (no such file), '/opt/homebrew//libcrypto.1.1.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.1.1.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/libcrypto.1.1.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache)
(terminated at launch; ignore backtrace)

The library is present in
"/opt/homebrew/lib/libcrypto.1.1.dylib",
but codelite is not finding it.

Things would be much better if codelite were not installed using brew. In the past, the codelite site had direct downloads and I had no problems. Brew is too invasive.

My whole project is on hold because of the corrupted codelite on arm64 Macintosh, Sonoma 14.4. I have been a codelite user for 14 years and have provided funds at times. I would change to Code::Blocks like I have on Windows, but it does not run on Macs. Please fix this!

Hi,
Usually, such errors should go to GitHub where I get a direct email and it will brought to my attention much faster
Having said, that, I will check this and hopefully will release a fix tomorrow (too late now)

FYI: CodeLite does not (at least it shouldn't) rely on local homebrew paths, instead it should load everything from the bundle
probably a bug in the packaging script file

HTH,

What is the output that you get when running:

$ otool -L codelite.app/Contents/MacOS/libssh.4.dylib
codelite.app/Contents/MacOS/libssh.4.dylib:
	/opt/homebrew/opt/libssh/lib/libssh.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.0.0, current version 4.9.5)
	@executable_path/libcrypto.3.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.12)
	/System/Library/Frameworks/Kerberos.framework/Versions/A/Kerberos (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 6.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1336.0.0)

Notice that for me, libssh requires crypto 3. and not 1.1

Which macOS & CodeLite are you using? I am running 14.2.1 M2

Here is the result of running

otool -L codelite.app/Contents/MacOS/libssh.4.dylib

I am running macOS Sonoma 14.4 M1 and the latest version of codelite that brew downloads.

I am really am clueless here, the list of libraries is completely different than mine...
I would accept libssh to be dependent on crypto but for you -> its not even on the list...

Also: I tried downloading CodeLite on a different clean M2 macOS running Sonoma 14.4 and it runs nicely

An attempt to run codelite gives a message that libcrypto.1.1.dylib cannot be found. I removed brew and reinstalled it, and then installed libssh. That produced a file /opt/homebrew/lib/libcrypto.3.dylib. I tried copying it to /usr/lib as libcrypto.1.1.dylib and got the output

dyld[42133]: Symbol not found: _EVP_PKEY_base_id
Referenced from: <DD73C6E3-8CF6-3547-B7C6-AA2F6BFC23B1> /Applications/codelite.app/Contents/MacOS/libssh.4.dylib

Abort trap: 6

Apparently there have been problems with libcrypto.1.1.dylib for some time. The link

  https://gist.github.com/aklap/e885721ef15c8668ed0a1dd64d2ea1a7

discusses it, but I could not get any of the suggestions to work.

Sadly, I may have to try eclipse or just abandon arm64 macs and release my software on outdated x86_64 macs.

Thanks.
