Do not report this issue to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core!

This is also happening on Ventura (macOS 13). I'm using apple silicon (an M2 chip), which might be part of the problem? (it looks like this is the same issue as #47)

I'm happy to offer help, but I'd need some guidance; I'm an experienced software engineer, but very inexperienced in the SDR space.

[jphastings]

I made some progress by adding the following lines to the formula (openned by running brew edit pothosware/pothos/soapyosmo)

fails_with :clang do
    build 1400
    cause "C syntax issue"
  end

I added this because when I check ~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/soapyosmo/02.make (the log file listed at the top of the homebrew failure), I can see a line Clang: 14.0.0 build 1400. I had a hunch that building with CLang might cause problems, and I believe this declaration allows homebrew to recognise that it would fail when building with clang, so uses gcc instead.

This resulted in a different failure, which I'm having difficulty with:

The key issue being --no-undefined as part of the linking process.

I've found some references with google, but not had any luck in finding a path forwards.

---

Somewhat dumbly declaring a failure with gcc, and running brew install llvm to see if a different compiler helps produces a new error:

  fails_with :gcc do
    cause "unknown option: --no-undefined"
  end

This produces a new error (Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "boost::chrono::steady_clock::now()"), which I don't think is going to help.

[ncorgan]

This has been fixed upstream and will reach packages in the next few weeks.

[1nikolas]

still having this issue..

[lyra56k]

Issue does still exist, hoping for fix!

[lyra56k]

@ncorgan Coming back to this but still can't figure it out. Any news on the fix?

[righthalfplane]

Some where they said that they have dropped brew support for all versions of MacOS before Ventura.

[lyra56k]

Maybe it’s worth a new issue then, because I’m on Sonoma and things aren’t working.
