Prior to the update to Mojave, my projects (which I build on the command line) linked perfectly fine with the frameworks I installed in /Library/Frameworks. Now, it seems that this path is no longer searched by the linker (include files within the frameworks are also not searched).
I’m aware I can specify the include and framework paths with -I and -F, respectively, but I thought this was the canonical way to link with an installed framework on macOS. Should I be doing this differently now?
I'm not sure about your exact build environment, but, following this comment on neovim, it seems like macOS 10.14 isn't installing all headers in the expected locations anymore.
After installing the package mentioned in the comment above, things worked fine again !
Edit: the actual way to install the headers (as found in abovementioned comment):
open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
This is not triggered automatically during or after the update.

I want to build FuTTY.
The original author uses Visual Studio, I want to avoid that. I found out that apparently I have to:
Add MinGW/bin and MinGW/msys/1.0/bin to the PATH
run perl mkfiles.plto restore some missing makefiles
Remove -mno-cygwin from Makefile.cyg
Add XFLAGS = -DCOVERITY to Makefile.cyg
run make -f Makefile.cyg putty.exe from the windows directory
This works for building the original PuTTY, but is not enough for FuTTY.
It complains that KEY_WOW64_32KEY is undeclared. When I googled that, I found that apparently this means you need MinGW-W64.
At this point I'm making wild guesses, but I think the selector shown below means that the MinGW-W64 project is about making all kinds of toolchains run on Windows 64 bit and if I want something that works with PuTTY's MinGW makefile, I need this:
Right? So after downloading that, I am presented with questions I cannot answer:
I'm using more handy tool chain distribution MSYS2
I've downloaded the portaudio codebase and compiled it fully with source, and installed it to my system with these commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
But XCode is complaining to me, even when I put -lportaudio in the Other Linker Flags for the project settings.
I've researched this problem and tried whatever I could find on Stack Overflow, but there was no decisive answer that would work for me. Any advice on how to fix this?
I'm using an older version of XCode and haven't bothered looking at how the interface might have changed in the newer versions, but this is generally solved for me by modifying the User Search Paths under your project settings. Look at the screenshot, add /usr/local/include to Header Search Paths and make Always Search User Paths "Yes." That should do the trick
Edit:
One more thing to note, this is only /usr/local/include because that's the default install directory for the portaudio.h file in the portaudio build (as it is with many libraries).
If you have a different prefix other than /usr/local/include, add that instead.
I am using Mac OS X 10.8 with Xcode. I have installed the jansson library, with the following commands:
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install
Everything went fine and the library installed correctly. I have created a smple .c file with a text editor and tried to include the <jansson.h> file. I builded everything and it gave no errors, meaning that the library is installed on my system.
Now, Xcode doesn't find the library at all, saying that <jansson.h> is not found. I have tried to restart my Mac, but nothing happens. If anyone knows a possible solution, I will be grateful. Thanks!
I resolved the issue, by going under Build phases, and searching for HEADER_SEARCH_PATH. Then I changed the search path label with /usr/local/include, where the library was installed.
I'm trying to install a geocoder for a website I'm building. I'm using Geocoder because the query limit for the Google Maps API falls short of my needs. I installed all the gems required and have SQLite3. When I'm actually trying to install the geocoder gem (Geocoder::US) I get an error while running the make file.
I'm getting an error I cannot figure out. It mentions the error (in the title) then talks of an non-existent file (sqlite3ext.h). Here is the error:
I know this is vague but I've been working for 10+ hours trying to install this and have found little help online. Any advice on which direction to go would be appreciated.
This is from the project's Readme:
To build Geocoder::US, you will need gcc/g++, make, bash or equivalent,
the standard *NIX ‘unzip’ utility, and the SQLite 3 executable and
development files installed on your system.
It seems that you lack the SQLite3 development headers.
This is relevant:
NOTE: If you do not have /usr/include/sqlite3ext.h installed, then
your sqlite3 binaries are probably not configured to support dynamic
extension loading. If not, you must compile and install SQLite from
source, or rebuild your system packages. This is not believed to be a
problem on Debian/Ubuntu, but is known to be a problem with Red
Hat/CentOS.
Also they do not mention Windows. You should:
Ask them if someone uses it on Windows and if there are instructions for that.
Evaluate the thing on Linux, Debian/Ubuntu especially.
-fPiC is not your problem. As the log states, the compiled code is already position independent. The problem is, that the sqllite3ext.h is not in the compiler include path.
I am a begineer trying to get code in C. I am working on a Mac and using xcode. My only past experience has been with java using eclipse and everything was pretty straight forward. I have almost no experience with terminal.
I am required to learn a bit of C for a project I will be working on and the learning of syntax is coming along okay, but I am at a point where I need to include some libraries in my c program. Specifically I am attempting to make plots with gnuplots.
I have downloaded gnuplot-4.6.3 from their repository and I do not even know how to install the files. I have been looking around and have tried using terminal to use the ./configure command when I am in the gnuplot-4.6.3 directory. But I really don't know what I am doing so I don't even know where to go next or what to do next.
Sorry if this is so trivial, I honestly just have never done this before and I cannot find a good tutorial on what to do.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
I would recommend using MacPorts for installing third-party tools and libraries. It knows the dependencies required and will install them as part of the installation.
Download it from macports.org.
Install it, and allow it to modify your ~/.profile so that /opt/local/bin is in your $PATH (any issue then just do export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH from the command line).
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install gnuplot
Now that will install the library into /opt/local/lib with the include files in /opt/local/include, so now just add that library to your Xcode project. Select the target and in the Build Phases tab open up the Link Binary With Libraries and press the + button and select Add Other. Now find /opt/local/lib/libgnuplot.a (I am assuming that's what it's called; I don't have it installed my self):
Now add /opt/local/include to your Header Search Paths so the compiler can find the gnuplot header files. Select the target and in Build Setting type in "header search" in the search box. Now double-click on the Header Search Path in the target column (or the project column to the right) and add /opt/local/include:
It's fine! You're learning then! Keep up! When I hit this kind of problem you may want to learn about the basis for linux gcc/g++ compilation and linking processes. Then you should learn Cmake and Automake, which are basically packages to configure projects before compiling building.
A typical (good) project in Unix systems build with commands
./configure
make
sudo make install
or
cmake CMakelists.txt
make all
sudo make install
That's what you need to do after downloading a source tarball online to install unix programs.
Now since you are using Mac, there are so-called package installers, one which is macports and homebrew. I personally suggest homebrew than macports here (I've tried both, although macports still outnumber homebrew with the number of repos, homebrew has the newest support, especially when upgrading to a new OS). So to install homebrew you can do
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Execute that in your terminal (see http://brew.sh/) for more information.
Then you could simply install GNUplot by
brew install gnuplot
