Homebrew and latest MacOS SDK

[spinicist]

Hello,

I’m not sure if I should post here or in Newbie, as I am a Newbie trying to use Cling.

I installed Cling via Homebrew (brew install cling) and it appeared to install fine. However, when I start Cling I received the error message:

warning: no such sysroot directory: '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.0.sdk'
In file included from input_line_1:1:
In file included from /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../include/c++/v1/new:90:

#include_next <stdlib.h>

And indeed, I do not have the 11.0 SDK installed, because I have the 11.1 SDK installed. Is it possible to point Cling towards this? Should I also report this on the Homebrew forums?

Thanks for any help.

Hi!

Yeah, we need to fix this. In the past, new Xcode provided old SDKs, that seems to not be the case anymore. You can work around that with cd /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs; sudo ln -s MacOSX.sdk MacOSX11.0.sdk

Cheers, Axel.

I’ve created https://github.com/root-project/root/issues/7021 to keep track of an actual fix.

Thanks! For reference - I also reported it on the Homebrew forum here: https://github.com/Homebrew/discussions/discussions/504
