Error while building solunar2 in Mac

[lulunac27a]

I get an error while building this program after running make install command on Mac. I'm using MacOS 14.0. Program output:

I'm sorry about the slow reply. I removed the '-Werror' flag because different versions of GCC have different levels of fussiness about warnings.

I still get an error when I use make, make install or sudo make install when I update the version:

echo src//program.c src//program_context.c src//main.c
src//program.c src//program_context.c src//main.c
make -C klib
make[1]: `klib.a' is up to date.
make -C libsolunar
make[1]: `libsolunar.a' is up to date.
cc -s -Wl,--gc-sections  -o solunar build//program.o build//program_context.o build//main.o libsolunar/libsolunar.a klib/klib.a -lm

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I think you're using clang, rather than traditional gcc. I haven't tested with clang, and I'm not sure it will work. From the documentation, it looks as if the clang equivalent of --gc-sections is -dead_strip. I don't know what the equivalent of '-s' is, if there is one.

--gc-sections is used in conjuction with -ffunc-sections to remove unused functions from the final executable. That potentially matters a little, because I'm used library code in this utility, from which not all functions are actually used. Rather than -s you could just run 'strip' on the resulting binary -- both will remove debug symbols.

If you just want something that works, you could remove both these offending switches, and the code should still run the same -- it will just be larger than it should be.

Sorry, support for clang isn't really on my radar yet.
