[KazuakiM]

Hi, @fakiyer Can you put the results to the gist?

brew install --verbose  --HEAD universal-ctags/universal-ctags/universal-ctags

[fakiyer]

Hi, @KazuakiM OK. Here are results:

https://gist.github.com/fakiyer/3a32c1c69a2c1f6226658adb1eacc8d9

[KazuakiM]

@masatake Do you have any solutions?

[masatake]

Looks very strange. Maybe a broken errno.h file is installed to @fakiyer's environment and oru build-sys includes it.

What we expect as errno.h may be https://github.com/st3fan/osx-10.9/blob/master/xnu-2422.1.72/bsd/sys/errno.h.

As far as reading https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/lsof.rb, I guess errno.h may be at "#{MacOS.sdk_path}/usr/include". I wonder following patch for universal-ctags.rb can avoid including the unwanted header file:

I tried it but still getting error...

[masatake]

@fakiyer, could you try to install lsof via brew? lsof also uses errno.

[fakiyer]

@masatake Yes, I could.

[masatake]

(I don't know brew well.)

@fakiyer, thank you. But it seems that you tried the binary package of lsof. I would like to know whether you can introduce source package(?) of lsof. Could you try though I don't know how to do it?

Like u-ctags, lsof uses errno and ENOENT in its source code. If you can build lsof binary without trouble, the brew build-script(?) of u-ctags does something wrong. If you cannot build lsof binary because the compiler cannot find the declaration of errno and the definition of ENOENT, I guess your environment may be broken.

[fakiyer]

Is this alright?

@masatake @KazuakiM It worked after clean install. Thanks a lot for your help.

[madtrick]

@fakiyer do you still remember what did you mean by "clean install"? I'm running into the same problem

[fakiyer]

@madtrick It's to return to factory settings.

[madtrick]

@fakiyer reset the computer? 😱

[fakiyer]

@madtrick Unfortunately, yes... I reset MacOS and reinstalled universal-ctags.

[madtrick]

ok, thx for the info 😄

[wadkar]

@madtrick : First of all, a gist with verbose log of the build process would certainly help to know more about your specific problem.

If you don't want to go to an extent of reinstalling macOS and try few things, I would suggest following options:

1. Uninstall your xcode-tools and installing it again. Try installing ctags.
2. brew update, then do a brew doctor and fixing any issues it reports. Try installing ctags.
3. Create a Brewfile brew bundle dump and remove brew completely. Then do a restart (just in case), and install brew again. Try installing ctags. If you succeed, you have the Brewfile that you generated inn brew bundle dump that you can use to recover your old brew installs.
