discount fails to build with option --with-shared

[telemachus]

• Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• Ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried your prior step?

I'm unable to install discount with the options --with-fenced-code and --with-shared. It appears that --with-shared is the problem, but I can't quite follow why from the logs.

Logs are here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/d348e9efff83a9caef0c4f8452415f54

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help debug the problem.

A further note: this fails on a Sierra machine (10.12.1) at home, but works on a Yosemite El Capitan version at work. Not sure what that may mean, but I thought I would mention it.

Hm, I can't repro on my Sierra machine. It looks like it's having trouble calling the cpp superenv shim. Just to check, if you brew update does it still fail for you now?

[telemachus]

@mistydemeo brew update told me that I was up-to-date already, but still no joy.

One other item of information that may or may not matter: I just updated this machine from El Capitan to Sierra with Homebrew already installed. In theory that shouldn't matter, but you never know. Also, now that I think about it, the machine at work is probably El Capitan too. (I can't keep the names straight any more...) (Edit: Yup, the machine at work is El Capitan.)

The more I think about this, the more I wonder if the problem isn't that the machine at home has been upgraded several times, at least once with Homebrew already present. At some point, I may try a clean install of Sierra, just to see, but I'll need to set aside some time to do that. Until then, I'm happy to hear any other suggestions.

Xcode: 8.1
CLT: N/A

I just noticed, the difference between your environment and mine is that you're Xcode-only and I'm CLT-only. What's the configuration on the work machine?

[telemachus]

Thanks for continuing to look into this! At work looks like this:

Xcode: 8.1
CLT: 7.3.1.0.1.1461711523

When I get home, I'll install the CLT tools as well. Hopefully that will fix the problem.

[telemachus]

@mistydemeo Installing the CLT tools fixed my problem. Thank you very much again for seeing that.

I'm not sure if that's expected behavior though or still a bug, so I'm not closing this just yet. Any thoughts?

[ilovezfs]

It's still a bug since we still haven't caved in and decided to require the CLT, so everything is required to work with Xcode alone or it's a bug by definition.

Closing as there's no work ongoing on this issue, sorry.
