Make check fails on Mac OS X

[mvuksano]

I've tried following the instructions on installing protoc but there is a failure during make check step. The error I get is:

Making lib/libgtest.a lib/libgtest_main.a in gtest
depbase=`echo src/gtest-all.lo | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.lo$||'`;\

Is there any workaround for this?

What's the gtest version you are using? You can try to replace the gtest directory with the gtest that comes from our release packages (2.6.0 or 2.5.0).

xfxyjwf, running make check on the 2.6.0 release package gives the same error:

I'm on osX 10.9.4

How did you get the release package? Our release package has a bundled gtest directory and it appears the code line the error message points to doesn't exist in the bundled gtest code. Can you try this version:
https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v2.6.0/protoc-2.6.0-win32.zip

[ari62]

I downloaded it from:
https://github.com/google/protobuf/archive/v2.6.0.zip
by choosing the 2.6.0 tag from the branches dropdown in github.
I'm not sure what I should do with that zip, I'm on a mac and that zip contains a .exe.

[xfxyjwf]

Sorry, the link should be:
https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v2.6.0/protobuf-2.6.0.zip

You can find it on the releases page:
https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases

The zip file you downloaded is a snapshot of the git repository, not a release package. It doesn't contain the correct gtest code.

I also had this issue, on OSX Yosemite, but managed to solve the problem by installing Xcode.

Run ./configure CPPFLAGS=-DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1 on OSX 10.10 to fixed it
