simavr1.6 Makefile bug checking for avr-gcc installation #319

Open Jim-Carroll opened 10 months ago

Jim-Carroll commented 10 months ago

The current version of the simavr1.6 Makefile.common checks if avr-gcc is installed by looking for a folder called avr-gcc in the homebrew Cellar. This did not work on my system (macOS Ventura 13.5). Instead, I have two folders in the Cellar called avr-gcc@9 and avr-gcc@12.

To workaround this issue, I manually created a folder called avr-gcc in the Cellar. This allowed the installation to proceed and complete successfully.

# workaround
mkdir $(brew --prefix)/Cellar/avr-gcc
# now this works
brew install simavr

Looks like the new version of the Makefile fixes this by using a glob pattern, so I guess this cask is just outdated. However, the recommendation to brew install avr-libc is incorrect. No such package exists. I believe the error message should say brew install avr-gcc instead.

Should this not be opened at buserror/simavr?

Jim-Carroll commented 8 months ago

No. It has already been fixed upstream. This repo is just using an older version.

My mistake! But there is nothing on the surface to indicate that a simavr build is here.

Thanks, G.

This formula uses simavr v1.6: https://github.com/osx-cross/homebrew-avr/blob/main/Formula/simavr.rb

That version of simavr has the aforementioned bug.
