Cannot compile on ARM64 MacOS

[Kiblyn11]

Hello,

I have errors compiling with buildNatives, it does not find cstdint.

I do have installed the XCode command line tools, clang, gcc, make, etc.

clang --version

I just tried on my ARM64 macOS with the official 11.2 download and it worked fine. What directory are you in when running your gradle command? What is the output of gradle -v?

[Kiblyn11]

I'm running it from: /opt/homebrew/Caskroom/ghidra/11.2-20240926/ghidra_11.2_PUBLIC/support/gradle

gradle -v

I'm not sure what if anything is different about that homebrew distro, which we don't support. Can you try our official release which can be downloaded here: direct download link

If that still fails, there is something weird about your dev environment which we haven't encountered yet.

[Kiblyn11]

Just tried with official release and it is the same error.

[Kiblyn11]

Well I managed to build it, using homebrew llvm package, not Apple's one.

[ryanmkurtz]

Ok. I've only ever used whatever XCode installs and never had an issues. I've never used homebrew.
