Libgccjit error with new gcc 14 update

[dylanjm]

OS: macOS 14.4.1

Not sure if this is a systemic problem with this formula or just on my end, but I am recieving the following error when trying to install emacs-head@30.

I noticed I also had to update my paths this morning after doing a homebrew update. Referenced from d12frosted/homebrew-emacs-plus#323

from:

(setenv "LIBRARY_PATH" "/usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/11:/usr/local/opt/libgccjit/lib/gcc/11:/usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/11/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin21/14")

to:

(setenv "LIBRARY_PATH" "/usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/14:/usr/local/opt/libgccjit/lib/gcc/14:/usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/14/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin23/14")

I am getting the following error/output when trying to run the following command:

brew install emacs-head@30 --with-crash-debug --with-cocoa --with-imagemagick --with-xwidgets --with-native-comp --with-native-full-aot --with-tree-sitter --with-poll --with-infinity-yak-shack

Encountering the same problem earlier this day. After manually link libs into /usr/local/lib, it compiles now for me:

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/libgccjit/14.1.0/lib/gcc/14/libgccjit.dylib /usr/local/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/libgccjit/14.1.0/lib/gcc/14/libgccjit.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/14.1.0/lib/gcc/14/libgcc_s.1.dylib /usr/local/lib/
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/14.1.0/lib/gcc/14/libgcc_s.1.1.dylib /usr/local/lib/

@dylanjm thanks for spotting this issue. Lemme have a look into it ...

It worked for me as well. We can consider it as a temporary workaround until I provide a fix :)

[dylanjm]

Hello, @lotuc and @daviderestivo the above workaround worked for me as well. Thanks for your time and taking a look at this!

[daviderestivo]

I have currently two MacBooks. One with an Intel CPU and another one with an Apple M1. The problem seems to be present only on the Intel CPU.

I suppose the issue is related to the fact the while in the Apple M1 then symlink path: /opt/homebrew/lib/gcc/current/libgccjit.dylib

is equal to the one in the dylib

opt/homebrew/opt/libgccjit/lib/gcc/current/libgccjit.0.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 26.0.26)

for the Intel CPU this is not the case.

/usr/local/lib/gcc/current/libgccjit.dylib
usr/local/opt/libgccjit/lib/gcc/current/libgccjit.0.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 26.0.26)

This could explain while the above workaround helps.

I guess we should report this upstream to the homebrew team. Before doing it I would like to see the otool -L ... output of some of you with the same issue.

@dylanjm @lotuc can you please provide me with such infos?

[adamliter]

@daviderestivo: a relevant discussion and PR

[daviderestivo]

@adamliter The PR is exactly what I had in mind. Long time ago we discussed something similar in Homebrew/brew#10075 and Homebrew/brew#9526.

I guess until this is fixed in homebrew upstream the only solution is the above proposed workaround.

[carlocab]

This should be fixed now; do brew update && brew reinstall libgccjit. (You may have to wait ~20 minutes for the JSON API to get updated.)

[daviderestivo]

I can confirm the issue has been solved.
