Adding a conda-forge recipe #96

Closed matter-it-does closed 2 years ago

matter-it-does commented 2 years ago

Hi Michael. FYI I posted a PR https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/17097 to add zld to conda-forge.

After several failed build attempts (as you can see in the commit history), I've resorted to using homebrew-fixes-1.3.3 for the source code. Let me know when that is merged into master. I'll be available in https://gitter.im/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io

Cheers.

The homebrew fixes branch is a stopgap for homebrew's (IMO unnecessary) issues, and not necessarily going to be merged into master. Can you just use the prebuilt release instead?

matter-it-does commented 2 years ago

If I was maintaining my own recipe, yeah sure. But I don't think conda-forge folks accept that..

michaeleisel commented 2 years ago

How widely used is Conda? How much value can we expect out of supporting it? I'm unfamiliar with people using it over homebrew

matter-it-does commented 2 years ago

Brew dropped support for 10.14 and I don't want to be building stuff all the time. Conda supports even 10.9 for certain recipes.

matter-it-does commented 2 years ago

If you support that, you can even download the binary for your brew cask from anaconda.org like so https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ccache/files It's a superset in that sense.

matter-it-does commented 2 years ago

Oh I see that you have changed the code to build from source too. Still, brew is not a superset of conda as ~it~ brew doesn't allow binary download publicly.

michaeleisel commented 2 years ago

I'm not too interested in supporting 10.14 and below, and unfortunately I just haven't heard much of people using Conda for macOS. I'm going to close for now, but people are welcome to comment if they too need Conda support.

Just keeping static tbb, abseil, mimalloc helps a ton. If you remove them, I'll try to replicate what you do after removing the stopgap homebrew solution.
