Unable to install: full installation of Xcode required #4

Closed exhtml closed 4 years ago

exhtml commented 4 years ago

Hi! I found very useful your tool and I wanted to give it a try but when I try to install it: brew install samuelmeuli/tap/tmignore Homebrew throws this error: A full installation of Xcode.app 10.0 is required to compile this software. Installing just the Command Line Tools is not sufficient. Am I doing something wrong or truly I need to have full Xcode installed in order tu install and run tmignore? I'm using MacOSX Mojave. Thank you very much for your help!

Hi @exhtml, Xcode is required for compiling the tmignore Swift code on your machine. Homebrew downloads the Git repo (not the binary) and builds it locally. You should be able to remove Xcode once tmignore has been installed.

I'm not sure if Swift is included in xcode-select and if that tool would be sufficient to build the binary. But unfortunately, it's not currently possible to specify xcode-select as a dependency for a Homebrew formula.

You can now download a pre-built binary from the Releases page.
