Won't compile at OS X 10.11

[tiagobugarin]

I am testing OS X 10.11 El Capitan GM and while trying to compile Heimdall I got this output for make:

$ make

Also, i made a little modification at the original to remove the frontend subdirectory as I just need to compile the CLI

I could be wrong, but this doesn't looks like an El Capitan issue. It seems as though you haven't followed the README, specifically libusb was not installed from Homebrew.

[tiagobugarin]

libusb was installed but as I am not anymore with OS X 10.11 GM I will close this issue and try to compile again soon with OS X 10.11.0 (final)

I have libusb installed as described at the instructions and I got the same error on OSX 10.11.4.

Mac OsX 10.11.6. Code from github (commit 9bcc42da350bd2e1766980bcb77d806a82d56a1d) - today Did: brew install libusb qt5 cmake - all worked (strange comments for qt5, but seems to be ok) mkdir build cd build cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release - DQt5Widgets_DIR=/usr/local/opt/qt5/lib/cmake/Qt5Widgets .. All without apparent error... but make fails with "library not found for -lPRIVATE" at this ld -demangle -dynamic -arch x86_64 -macosx_version_min 10.11.0 -o ../bin/heimdall ... (see complete statement at end)

Seems that the problem (by process of elimination) is related to -lPRIVATE /usr/local/lib/libusb-1.0.a which is a symbolic link to /usr/local/Cellar/libusb/1.0.21/lib/libusb-1.0.a

I thought the link might be a problem, so pulled the command from the trace and rewrote it with the direct page and reissued the ld command, and got the same error: specifically - $ cd heimdall $ ld -v -demangle -dynamic -arch x86_64 -macosx_version_min 10.11.0 -o ../bin/heimdall -search_paths_first -headerpad_max_install_names CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/Arguments.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/BridgeManager.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/ClosePcScreenAction.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/DetectAction.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/DownloadPitAction.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/FlashAction.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/HelpAction.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/InfoAction.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/Interface.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/main.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/PrintPitAction.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/Utility.cpp.o CMakeFiles/heimdall.dir/source/VersionAction.cpp.o -lPRIVATE ../libpit/libpit.a -lPRIVATE /usr/local/Cellar/libusb/1.0.21/lib/libusb-1.0.a -lc++ -lSystem /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/../lib/clang/8.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.osx.a --- output --- @(#)PROGRAM:ld PROJECT:ld64-274.2 configured to support archs: armv6 armv7 armv7s arm64 i386 x86_64 x86_64h armv6m armv7k armv7m armv7em (tvOS) Library search paths: /usr/lib /usr/local/lib Framework search paths: /Library/Frameworks/ /System/Library/Frameworks/ ld: library not found for -lPRIVATE

Suggestions?
