Failed to install on macOS

[phuclv90]

I've followed the steps on the main readme file but it always failed at this point

In fact the first error happened was the below. And I managed to passed that with brew install python-setuptools but in the end the above error occured

src/edl/setup.py", line 2, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup, find_packages
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

Stack Overflow to the rescue!

I had to also uninstall Xcode from my system, since it was already updated to 15.3.

tl;dr:

• Downgrade Xcode Command Line Tools to 15.1
• uninstall Xcode 15.3 if you have it installed
• install should now work (did for me!)

I don't have Xcode as well as /Library/Devloper/CommandLineTools in my case so it probably uses the default /usr/bin/cc

Alternatively, you can try downgrading clang temporarily without having to fuss with Xcode.

$ which clang
/usr/bin/clang

$ clang -v
Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin23.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

$ brew install llvm@14
$ export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm@14/bin:$PATH"

$ which clang
/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm@14/bin/clang

$ clang -v
Homebrew clang version 14.0.6
Target: arm64-apple-darwin23.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /opt/homebrew/opt/llvm@14/bin

Afterwards, the build and install work as expected for me. Following the install, you can run brew uninstall llvm@14 to uninstall, or simply restart your terminal session to restore your PATH while keeping clang-14 available should you need it down the line.

thanks @randolph- I was able to build. But now I'm seeing another issue https://github.com/bkerler/edl/issues/556
