How can I start with macos????

[Picasso-r]

I really need to perform it on macos, but I'm trouble with installing it.

[vitalybuka]

Do you have libFuzzer on MacOS?

[Picasso-r]

Yes, I have libFuzzer. I just want to do these:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev binutils cmake \
  ninja-build liblzma-dev libz-dev pkg-config autoconf libtool

However, it seems that homebrew doesn't have those packages .

[Picasso-r]

By the way, does it also work with AFL++? I am a complete beginner in this area.

[Picasso-r]

I have tried many ways and used homebrew to install lots of dependencies, but when it comes to

ninja

I failed on everything, just like this:

The version of my clang++ is:

➜  build git:(master) ✗ clang++ --version
Apple clang version 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin22.6.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

and the verison of abseil of mine should be the newest. Do I need to download the older version of this repo?

[Picasso-r]

I modify the compile option -std=c++14 to -std=c++17, which solves the problem. But I encounter a new one. After change the -Xliner --start-group into -force_load as it doesn't match macos, I get many errors, and a short glimpse is like this:
