Github macOS automate builds failing, any ideas?

[robertosfield]

Hi All,

For the last couple of days the VSG's github automated builds that happen each time we check in a commit or submit a PR has been failing due to an error with the macOS install failing:

https://github.com/vsg-dev/VulkanSceneGraph/actions/runs/8849485683/job/24342985502

The part where the error occurs is related to the make install:

[100%] Linking CXX static library ../../lib/libvsg.a
[100%] Built target vsg
[100%] Built target vsg
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Installing: /usr/local/include/vsg
CMake Error at src/vsg/cmake_install.cmake:36 (file):
  file INSTALL cannot make directory "/usr/local/include/vsg": No such file
  or directory
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  cmake_install.cmake:37 (include)


make: *** [install] Error 1
Error: Process completed with exit code 2.

I haven't changed anything in the VSG related to CMake recently, so it looks like there is a server issue, either github have changed permissions for the macOS builds so that one can't install to /usr/local any more.

Has anyone else come across this issue? Any ideas?

I've spotted the problem - the install to /usr/local was being without a sudo. The macOS virtual machine that githib was using must have originally been using a user permission for /usr/local but now that's been tighened up. I've fixed the problem with the commit to VulkanSceneGraph/.github/workflows/ci.yml.
