Failing to install fyabai *sorry*

[Bellavene]

Sorry for writing here, but I didn't find a possibility to do it on fyabai page. I wanted to update, but for some reason now I have an error:

brew install --HEAD felixkratz/formulae/fyabai

It seems to compile fine for me, make sure you have installed the proper compiler toolchain. size_t is a very basic type.

[Bellavene]

Could you please describe about the "toolchain"? I have installed or didn't something that is causing this? I can't find anything useful about it.

[FelixKratz]

Try to compile the cloned repo:

git clone https://github.com/FelixKratz/yabai.git
cd yabai
make

and try to do the same with the upstream repo, because I don't think I have changed related to this error in my fork

[Bellavene]

git clone https://github.com/FelixKratz/yabai.git
cd yabai
make

rm -rf ./bin

[Bellavene]

Still the same problem, yabai from Asmund's source is installing without problems. Is there a way to install older edition of your code? It was working ok, but unfortunately I tried to update it.

[FelixKratz]

So this works?

git clone https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai.git
cd yabai
make

[Bellavene]

Nope https://github.com/FelixKratz/dotfiles/issues/41#issuecomment-1964023396

[FelixKratz]

Its a slightly different command. The command given in https://github.com/FelixKratz/dotfiles/issues/41#issuecomment-1964026719 builds upstream yabai from source. If this fails as well, your compiler setup is broken. Maybe try reinstalling xCode or commandline tools.

[Bellavene]

Ah yes! My bad, This one works well as expected And installs through brew also

[FelixKratz]

Ok, the next step in getting to the bottom of this is to do a bisection of all the commits that I made: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/compare/master...FelixKratz:yabai:master By doing this we find the point at which it breaks, i.e. the problematic commit. If you need help with this, I can assist you.

[Bellavene]

It was some type of homebrew bug, updated homebrew today and it fixed it.
