dieharder compilation failure on Apple Silicon: 'ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64' - c

Question

Attempting to compile dieharder from source on an M1 Max (macOS 12 + Xcode 13.3.1 + command line tools) and running into an error:
...

I got to this failure with a MacPorts installed gsl and by executing the following:
$ mkdir dieharder; cd dieharder
$ wget --no-check-certificate https://webhome.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder/dieharder-3.31.1.tgz
$ tar xf dieharder-3.31.1.tgz
$ cd dieharder-3.31.1
$ sudo port install gsl
$ ./configure LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include CFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include --disable-shared
...
$ make
...
I reproduced the failure with Homebrew:
$ brew install gsl
$ make distclean
$ ./configure LDFLAGS=-L/opt/homebrew/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/include CFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/include --disable-shared
...
$ make

Anyone know what might be going on here and how to properly configure this to complete compilation on and for Apple Silicon systems?

Answer 1

It turns out that the insert functions are not exported public for the ARM compilation of the library:
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"_insert", referenced from:
_dab_filltree in libdieharder.a(libdieharder_la-dab_filltree.o)
_main_filltree in libdieharder.a(libdieharder_la-dab_filltree.o)
"_insertBit", referenced from:
_dab_filltree2 in libdieharder.a(libdieharder_la-dab_filltree2.o)
See: https://github.com/eddelbuettel/dieharder/pull/1/files
After adding static to those four lines dieharder compiles fine.
