libelf deprecation on macOS #3129

Open iMichka opened 4 months ago

iMichka commented 4 months ago

Hello

I am a maintainer of the Homebrew project and wanted to give a small heads up: we would like to deprecate libelf on macOS.

The upstream libelf website is gone, the remaining source code can only be through archive.org ... (since at least 2019, which was 5 years ago ...). mgba is one of the last projects that is using libelf in macOS.

Are there any plans for a replacement solution on your side?

I have yet to find a viable replacement library. I went looking when I first implemented support in mGBA, but I haven't looked much since. I would love to know what replacements I could actually use.

Hi. Finding a replacement might be complicated. See this discussion we are having in another project: https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/issues/1653
