Heimdall Fails to Compile Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.3

[elitebyte]

So I am trying to compile the latest version of Heimdall 1.4.2 but I seem to be getting stuck on the make command. I don't really know C++ so I'm not able to understand the errors that I am getting back.

The output of cmake

This runs relatively fine, but then this is where it hits the fan:

Any ideas? I am running the latest versions of libusb, qt, and cmake via homebrew download. Not sure where to go from here. Also trying to use Heimdall v1.4.1 also fails to get PIT file. But assuming that 1.4.2 is a fix, I am trying to get the latest one to work.

I have found the fix. Try this. The issue is with compiling libpit. The compiler is using old C++ flags therefore we are getting these errors. Go into the file located at Heimdall/libpit/CMakeLists.txt and remove this '-std=gnu++11' and replace with '-Dnullptr=NULL'. (without quotes). It will now build.
