Any extra information

Was working literally a week ago. Not sure what I did to my computer in the meanwhile.. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks! P.S. I added coreutils to the PATH and "which cp" results in "/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/cp" but that didn't resolve it.

I'm also facing this issue, and cp has a -c option

sudo-human commented 3 weeks ago

The coreutils cp doesn't support -c option, I tried the following it gave me the same error:


/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/cp -c ~/asdf ~/Downloads
/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/cp: invalid option -- 'c'
Try '/opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/cp --help' for more information.

I have the same problem. My workaround is renaming the cp in the coreutils:

$ cd /usr/local/Cellar/coreutils/9.5/bin/
$ mv gcp gcp_

I use an Intel Mac, so the Homebrew directory and cp command name are as above.

I am pretty sure it's related to the fact that we are using standard env. See point (2) on how to switch to superenv, which should work. It's a workaround, I will think about fixing it properly without giving up on standard env.

Hi, wame problem here. I tried commenting out the "env :std" line and it gets further but craps out when installing:

That's a completely different error. Please open a new issue and also provide output of brew install --verbose emacs-plus@30.

nidan841g commented 2 weeks ago

I am seeing this on an M1 Pro Macbook Pro as well. brew doctor reports "Your system is ready to brew." I did the rename gcp trick from @suzuki and then saw the

NoMethodError: undefined method `+' for nil

error. The build command was brew install -v -s emacs-plus\@29 --with-modern-sexy-v2-icon --with-poll.

siriu5b commented 2 weeks ago

Same issue here (MacBook M1)

$ brew install d12frosted/emacs-plus/emacs-plus@29 --with-native-comp

Output

I +1 @suzuki solution with a slightly different path (see prefix from brew config).

$ wheris gcp
gcp: /opt/homebrew/bin/gcp /opt/homebrew/share/man/man1/gcp.1
$ ls -l /opt/homebrew/bin/gcp
/opt/homebrew/bin/gcp ⇒ ../Cellar/coreutils/9.5/bin/gcp
$ cd /opt/homebrew/Cellar/coreutils/9.5/bin
$ mv gcp _gcp

[Then proceeds to install with success]

KJSanchez commented 2 weeks ago

@siriu5b and @suzuki's solution worked for me, although I needed to rename a different cp binary. Steps I took were to run the build with vebose output to get the PATH variable that's used during the build.

brew install ---verbose emacs-plus@29 --with-native-comp

then copy that below to figure out which cp binary should be renamed to cp_

PATH=<whatever> which cp

For me that was /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/cp

bradhowes commented 2 weeks ago

@KJSanchez Thanks for the steps to debug this. For me on a MacBookPro M1 under macOS 15.0 I had to do the rename step to /opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/cp but after that (and deleting a non-beta Xcode), brew install emacs-plus --with-native-comp ran to completion.

Same issue here (MacBook M1)

Output Brew config I +1 @suzuki solution with a slightly different path (see prefix from brew config).

Thanks @siriu5b. I followed your suggestion and it worked for me!

5183nischal commented 1 week ago

@siriu5b solution solved it for me too. Should the issue stay open?

thegeorgeous commented 1 week ago

I have the same issue but with /bin/cp

Update: This is an issue with homebrew itself. It was fixed in the PR reference a little above.

I solved it by switching to the master branch of homebrew from the stable branch.

MikeMcQuaid commented 1 week ago

This is released/fixed in Homebrew 4.3.7 now: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/releases/tag/4.3.7

d12frosted commented 1 week ago

Thank you for heads up @MikeMcQuaid ❤️

Folks, just make sure to upgrade to the latest brew and try again.
