IPP 7.0 Mac OS X rebinding dylibs.

Hi all,

This has been an issue for us for a while, and methods to fix the issue seem to have varied. I have posted a number of times on the subject myself. The issue is that for many applications in the Mac OS X environment, it is not easy to set the dynamic library path. For example, it used to be possible to set the environment variables using ~/.MacOS/environment.plist, or in the package plist of the application itself; both of these have been switched off for security reasons in recent versions of Mac OS X.In at least some versions of IPP, we were able to rebind the install locations of the libraries using install_name_tool. For example:

otool -L libippcore-7.0.dylib

libippcore-7.0.dylib:

libippcore-7.0.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)

libiomp5.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0)

/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 111.1.3)

libippcore-7.0.dylib: libippcore-7.0.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0) libiomp5.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 111.1.3)

Then:

install_name_tool -change libiomp5.dylib /Library/Frameworks/Intel_IPP.framework/Libraries/libiomp5.dylib libippcore-7.0.dylib

For at least the recent revisions of IPP, including IPP 7.0, running install_name_tool as above gives the following (or similar) error:

install_name_tool: for architecture i386 object: libippcore-7.0.dylib malformed object (section contents at offset 0 with a size of 172, overlaps Mach-O headers at offset 0 with a size of 1336)

I noticed that the rebind scripts (which attempted to do much the same) seem to pop on and off the radar depending on the version, and I cannot find them in the IPP 7.0 for the Mac.

Since this is an issue that many have posted on for years, I imagine that we are doing something wrong. What exactly should we be doing? Being able to rebind the libraries used to work flawlessly for us, and so it has been a disappointment to see the above error pop up. At least one poster has reported this error before, and the reply was that it would be fixed in IPP 7.0, but clearly that does not seem to be the case.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Best,

Robert.

Hi Chao,

Here is some more history on this:

One of my original posts regarding library location:

http://origin-software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=63689&o=d&s=lr

And a report where this new error was indicated would be fixed in IPP 7.0. (the post by Pavel indicates that it could be fixed)

Best,

Hi Chao,

Note that I can do this on Mac OS 10.5 with Xcode version 3.1.3. I am testing doing this, then moving the libraries back to 10.6 at the moment. I have not tested with all version of 10.6, or all versions of Xcode for 10.6, but at least this seems to be related in some way to the different versions of Xcode, OS, or install_name_tool.

Thanks,

Robert.

Another update ...

So, I can use install_name_tool successfully onMac OS 10.5 with Xcode version 3.1.3, and then transfer the libraries back to 10.6 machine from whence they came. Not ideal, but it works.

Thanks,

Robert.

Please compare your version of cctools with mine and could you give me your version of cctools?
Once I've met the problem with cctools and upgrading them helps me.

Hi Pavel,

Just to make sure, I ran the same attemp again since I have probably updated my machine since the post. I usually keep my machines quite up to date. Here is the latest output:
