nomos hangs when scanning GPLv2 on OSX about fossology HOT 9 CLOSED

I have no experience on OSX. actually we do not support OSX.
couple questions:

1. how did you scan those files? upload from GUI or just run nomos on those files from the command line?
2. any error log message on /var/log/fossology/fossology.log or postgres log, etc?
3. can I get which GPL2 license files are you using to do the testing?

thanks

Hey @yaobinshi, thanks for the fast response.

1. I am scanning using the nomos standalone (nomossa); I build nomos directly using make inside of src/nomos/agent using the process I outlined in #15 . I heard @bobgob works off of a mac? Is there a precompiled binary available for the nomos standalone?
2. No logs available.
3. The GPL license file is actually the one included in the top-level fossology repo under COPYING.

Another way to reproduce:

1. create an empty text file with the string "parser license" as the only contents
2. run nomossa on this file

It will hang

can not reproduce on non-mac system, I have no mac os system to do the troubleshooting, will get help from others asap.

Confirming this is a platform issue -- I have built nomos on an ubuntu box and it works properly!

Did you make any changes to get this to compile on OSX? I’m on Yosemite (10.10).

@bobgob All I did was add a CFLAG -I include to my brew installation of glib. I am on glib-2.42

Also to be clear, I am building the standalone in the nomos agent folder, not FOSSology as a whole. Literally make in src/nomos/agent with -DSTANDALONE and -I/usr/local/Cellar/glib/2.42.0/include/glib-2.0/

First suggestion is to keep this and if someone has the abilities to work on this (using macosx). But, I am not sure about a high priority for this. Also it would be possible to ...

1. use the vagrant on macosx (that is what I do)
2. try to get Docker running on macosx

As mentioned here https://github.com/fossology/fossology#installation

FOSSology is available for multiple versions of Linux.

There is also a Docker version available.
