Compile error on MacOS 14.1 [M1]

[MaximilianCarver]

Hello! I'm trying to compile this on my MacBook Air M1, and I'm getting this error. I've reinstalled Xcode tools several times and manually installed gcc with HomeBrew. Any solutions? My terminal looks like this:

------------------ build % ../configure --enable-sdl --disable-cocoa --target-list=arm-softmmu --disable-capstone --disable-pie --disable-slirp --extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@3/include --extra-ldflags='-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@3/lib -lcrypto'

ERROR: "cc" cannot build an executable (is your linker broken?)

------------------------ build % cc --version
gcc-13 (Homebrew GCC 13.2.0) 13.2.0

@MaximilianCarver I just had a look at this, are you sure you have the Xcode command line tools installed? You can do so by running xcode-select --install (or opening Xcode I think).

[MaximilianCarver]

Hello, @devos50 . Yes, I have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed (in fact, I've reinstalled them several times): xcode-select: note: Command line tools are already installed. Use "Software Update" in System Settings or the softwareupdate command line interface to install updates I don't know what else it could be. As a side note, my Xcode version is a beta, but I don't see how that could influence the command line tools. Additionally, in my zshrc, I have set an alias: alias cc='/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gcc/13.2.0/bin/gcc-13'. Any ideas on something I can try? Thank you very much.

Postscript: Sorry for my bad English ;)

UPDATE: I'm trying to see if it's a problem with the cc compiler, but it's not. I've been able to compile files with it. Upon entering the QEMU configuration file and modifying the line that refers to host_cc (line 243), to point to a path where the compiler is located, it gives me the same error (the linker error). The strange thing is that a normal file can actually be compiled in that path. It's quite puzzling. Does anyone have any ideas?

For me the problem was that OpenSSL was not in the right location. I ended up using the following configure command:

../configure --enable-sdl --disable-cocoa --target-list=arm-softmmu --disable-capstone --disable-pie --disable-slirp --extra-cflags=-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include --extra-ldflags='-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include -L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/lib -lcrypto'

Of course, I had OpenSSL installed by Homebrew

[MaximilianCarver]

Hello, @tux-linux I just tried this, and the error has changed. Instead of showing the CC error, it now displays an error: glib-2.56 gthread-2.0 is required to compile QEMU. Did you also encounter this error? Do you know how to fix it? Greetings and thank you very much.

[tux-linux]

Maybe you could try installing the glib Homebrew package?

[tux-linux]

Also, I think I used clang (llvm) on my side for compiling QEMU; maybe that could make a difference

[MaximilianCarver]

Hello, @tux-linux: I already have GLib installed. I've tried reinstalling it, and it gives the same error. Regarding using LLVM, I'll try that now. Thank you very much.

[MaximilianCarver]

Hello again, @tux-linux , I tried using LLVM (setting in my zshrc this: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin/clang), but I'm still getting the GLib error. My version of GLib is 2.78.3. Any idea what might be going on? Thanks.

[tux-linux]

When you run cc, does it launch clang?

[MaximilianCarver]

Yes, when I run 'cc' in the terminal, clang (with llvm) is executed.

clang: error: no input files

[tux-linux]

Sorry, I don't have a clue, then

brew install openssl@3.0

../configure --enable-sdl --disable-cocoa --target-list=arm-softmmu --disable-capstone --disable-pie --disable-slirp --extra-cflags=-I/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3.0/include --extra-ldflags='-L/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3.0/lib -lcrypto'

[MaximilianCarver]

Hello, floral-obradovic, I just tried what you've provided, and I'm getting this error: ERROR: glib-2.56 gthread-2.0 is required to compile QEMU Any ideas on how to solve this? Thank you very much

[florian-obradovic]

I think this should help brew install glib (gthread comes with Glib).

[MaximilianCarver]

Hello, I already had glib installed when the error occurred. I have reinstalled it, and the same issue persists. Any ideas? Thanks

hm.. no, sorry... I can only show you a list of my installed apps on the test Mac with macOS Sonoma 14.3:
