Description

I was trying to build git-po-helper on my MacBook Pro with Apple M1 processor and it failed with ld: framework not found CoreFoundation. I've searched throughout Google and StackOverflow and there is no information about this error in Golang.

Details

Golang

My golang was installed with brew. The following is the code I used to install Go compiler:

$ brew install golang

And the following is the Go compiler version I installed.

$ go version  
go version go1.16.3 darwin/arm64

macOS version

I'm on macOS Big Sur (11.5 Beta, 20G5023d) with its kernel version Darwin 20.6.0.

`xcode-select --install`

I've installed the toolchain.

➜  git-po-helper git:(master) xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

Some details

I didn't set up GOPATH, but I heard that it should be configured automatically.

I will ask my friend who has masOS on M1 for help.

Should be available to build in go1.17rc2 or later.
