Perl 5.36 deprecated by Homebrew #27

Closed lschreib closed 11 months ago

lschreib commented 1 year ago

I tried to install ARB using the supplied Homebrew formula, but it failed because Homebrew deprecated Perl version 5.36. It would be great if you could update everything to the Perl version 5.38 currently supported by Homebrew. Thanks.

Thanks for letting us know. I'll update the formula later this week. Unfortunately, this issue will likely pop up again with version 5.38, too. ARB needs the run-time perl version to be identical to the perl version used at compile-time but Homebrew does not provide a stable perl version like it did with perl 5.18 for years. I need to think a bit about the best solution.

lschreib commented 1 year ago

Yes, I saw that they keep changing the supported Perl version in Homebrew. Really not an ideal scenario. Maybe running ARB as a container would solve this? On the other hand, maybe the interaction between ARB and XQuartz would be a bit tricky to work out when using containers?

Hi, similar issue here. Perl 5.18 also found deprecated.

When I tried to fix the issue over the weekend, I stumbled into multiple issue:

It would be nice if Apple fixes the issue but, fortunately, the flag is only causing a duplication check which is not too important for the ARB build. Thus, I could add a patch to the formula and we wait what Apple will do and then either add the fix permanently to the ARB source code or remove it from the formula. But that does not solve the perl problem.

If you are still using Commandline Tools version 14, you can use this ugly workaround to install ARB

brew tap homebrew/core
brew extract --version=5.36 perl arb-project/arb
brew install perl@5.36
brew install arb-project/arb/arb

Steps one and three will take some time. Have some tea or coffee ready 😉

To figure out which version of the Commandline Tools you use:

clang --version

If it contains a line similar to

Apple clang version 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1)

Then you are using Commandline Tools version 14. If the version starts with 15 than you already upgrade to 15.

Same issue with perl@5.36. Appreciate the efforts by jgerken, Unfortunately no workaround possible in my case since CLT is 15.0 in a new M2 mac. Time to wait and keep using the old machine.

Thanks for the workaround but sadly, mine also 15.0 so last step just say "x86_64 architecture is required for this software”. Guess nothing to do but wait.
