Building intel pcm on Mac

Hi,

following errors when I build intel pcm 2.7 on my Mac with sdk 10.10.

Hello Grischa,

Hello Grischa,

Here are some workarounds. I'm not a Mac expert and generally quit looking for the 'right' answer after i get something that works.

For the 'expected function body' error you can try 1) commenting out the "#include <IOKit/IOKitLib.h>" line or 2) adding the following two lines before the include:

#define __DARWIN_SUF_DARWIN14 "_darwin14"
#define __DARWIN14_ALIAS(sym) __asm("_" __STRING(sym) __DARWIN_SUF_DARWIN14)

For the 'Debugger()' error you can try: A) finding the reference to /usr/include in the PcmMsr.xcodeproj settings... I hate xcode and can't find it.

or you can do B) get out of xcode and edit PcmMsr.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj and change (in two different places):

"HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS[arch=*]" = /usr/include;

to:

/*"HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS[arch=*]" = /usr/include;*/

Now it should build... at least it worked for me...

Hello Patrick,

Hello Patrick,

this worked for me. Maybe you want to change these settings to the repository? Additional I had some problems withe code signing on yosemite (10.10). This helped me out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26671885/codesigned-kext-but-why-not-load-in-yosemite10-10

A folder in /usr/include/ needs to be created if not existing.

cheers
Grischa

Glad it worked.

Patrick_F_Intel1 — Sat, 25 Apr 2015 13:47:08 GMT

Glad it worked.

For option 1) and 2), which worked for you? Similarly for A) and B) which worked? If A) worked, where in xcode is the reference to /usr/include?

Thanks, Pat

Building PCM will be one

Chris_S_3 — Sat, 25 Apr 2015 23:03:18 GMT

Building PCM will be one thing but then running it is another. OSX doesn't set the CR4.PCE bits to enable reading the PCM registers with RDPMC in user space.

I don't know about setting

Patrick_F_Intel1 — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 02:00:45 GMT

I don't know about setting CR4... but PCM runs fine for me... after another couple of changes below.

I downloaded the current version (which prints a message PCM v2.8). I'm running Mac OS X 10.10.3, xcode 6.3.1, LLVM ver 6.1.0. I had to change the build settings in MacMSRDriver/PcmMsr.xcodeproj.

My system is an ivy bridge based MacBook Pro.

I also had to comment out the call to freeRMID() in the PCM::cleanup() routine in cpucounters.cpp.

If freeRMID() is not commented out then my Mac crashes when I hit control-C while running pcm.x. I believe that the next version of PCM will avoid calling freeRMID() on systems which don't have the RMID MSRs.

Sorry. I hit send too quickly

Patrick_F_Intel1 — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 02:39:37 GMT

Sorry. I hit send too quickly. The line above in my reply "I had to change the build settings in MacMSRDriver/PcmMsr.xcodeproj" should say "I had to change the build settings in MacMSRDriver/PcmMsr.xcodeproj to say the Architectures Based SDK was OS X 10.9". The default Base SDK was 10.8 (I think) which I don't have installed (and I don't know how to get SDK 10.8).

Hi Pat,

Grischa_J_ — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 07:47:13 GMT

Hi Pat,

2) worked for me. I didn't tried 1). Is it some how possible to support Sandy Bridge?

Grischa

Hello Grischa,

Patrick_F_Intel1 — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 12:33:07 GMT

Hello Grischa,

I believe PCM does support Sandy bridge. Are you getting an error message? Can you redirect the output to a file and attach the file?
