macOS 13 required for savi on macOS?

[achou11]

Installed the latest Savi via asdf today (https://github.com/savi-lang/savi/releases/tag/v0.20230324.0) and get this error when running savi:

dyld: Symbol not found: __ZNKSt3__115basic_stringbufIcNS_11char_traitsIcEENS_9allocatorIcEEE3strEv
  Referenced from: /Users/andrewchou/.asdf/installs/savi/0.20230324.0/bin/savi (which was built for Mac OS X 13.0)
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib

Abort trap: 6

I'm on macOS 11 and wasn't planning to upgrade anytime soon. Guessing this is just a matter of not being able to use a prebuilt version of Savi at this point. Maybe worth documenting for macOS users :)

If there's a way to build Savi that will work on both older and newer systems I'm definitely open to it.

I was forced to upgrade my CirrusCI build machine to Ventura when they discontinued CI for MacOS x86_64: https://github.com/savi-lang/savi/commit/ace59e8df714ea39a51c78a78062b2f1450c75a1

Maybe there's a flag I can provide to clang when building the Savi binary that will force it to link against a lower version of MacOS? I don't know.

[achou11]

yeah that's certainly out of the range of my knowledge, although this flag seems be relevant?

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangCommandLineReference.html#cmdoption-clang-mmacos-version-min

otherwise, not requesting for you to go out of your way to support older versions if there's no straightforward way of doing so - just adding a note about supported versions would be helpful

@achou11 Please check https://github.com/savi-lang/savi/releases/tag/v0.20230405.0 after the build completes to see if the issue persists, and close this ticket if it's working for you now.

[achou11]

unfortunately still seeing the same issue :/

[achou11]

Upgraded my machine to the latest macOS, so can no longer confirm if this issue is still relevant. Closing as a result :)
