Hi, i'm having trouble installing argos3 via homebrew. I have macOS Big Sur 11.2.2. I can't solve this problem. Below I report the output after doing brew install argos3:

I was installing argos3 via homebrew. I have macOS Big Sur 11.2.3. After brew install bash-completion qt argos3 my output is:

The prompt suggested me to post this here. Are there any updates on this issue? Thank you in advance

I'm sorry but i haven't found a solution to the problem yet. For now the only solution has been to install argos on Linux.

I believe your mistake is from Xcode. I think you might find this useful: https://forums.swift.org/t/is-anyone-else-getting-this-error-when-building-the-compiler-from-master-on-macos/36113.

I had the same problem, solved this I still had the above error.

[LFK01]

Yeah my mistake was from some .sdk in Xcode. I solved it with sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools. Now I have your same problem.

[ilpincy]

I have encountered this problem and worked on it for a bit, without success. I'll try the command @LFK01 suggest, thanks!

@giadagibertoni It's an issue related to Homebrew specifically - if you compile ARGoS from the sources on Mac, everything works (that's how I develop ARGoS).

[ilpincy]

I tried the command suggested by @LFK01 - no luck. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Xcode completely - no luck. The thing I noticed is that forcing Homebrew to use a different compiler generates a different error message. This error is related to something Homebrew configures early on, which I have not been able to reproduce fully. By comparing the compilation flags I get when I compile manually and when I do it with Homebrew, I noticed that the include directories are different. For lack of time I haven't been able to make Homebrew behave like my normal compilation environment, although I made some progress by hardcoding a few include folders.

I tried the command suggested by @LFK01 - no luck.

Sorry for the lack of clarity but the command I was referring to did not solve the problem. I was able to have the same error of @giadagibertoni with that command. Anyway I'm happy if it has helped you in troubleshouting even a little.

if you compile ARGoS from the sources on Mac, everything works (that's how I develop ARGoS).

I switched to compiling the source code and it is way better than installing linux :D

Hello Guys, could somebody explain how to install from the sorces on Mac? Thank you in advance!

[kingchou007]

Anyone can share how to compile the source code?
