check-libelf and check-ncurses fail on recent macOS #79

Closed IngwiePhoenix closed 4 years ago

Recently, actually since a while now, Apple does not put certain files into /usr anymore - for instance, the ncurses.h file is actually here: /Applications/Xcode.app//Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/ncurses.h. And when installing libelf through Homebrew (brew), then the corresponding libelf.h is actually located as libelf/libelf.h.

Symlinking the two above fixed this and let the toolchain script pass the checks. Might be notable to mention here.

The libelf.h check can be done by just looking one folder deeper, and the ncurses check can be done either by a try-compile, or by looking for libncurses.dylib instead, which actually IS located in /usr/lib.

I was building the toolchain under macOS Mojave and had those issues with the lib path after installing with brew.

A fix for the macOS dependency checks was added in #88

Just in case, there's also a compiled macOS toolchain here: https://github.com/bucanero/ps3toolchain/releases/tag/macos-latest-a5186b17
