macOS Intel CI by TheMrIron2 · Pull Request #135 · ps3dev/ps3toolchain

TheMrIron2 · 2026-06-06T10:44:03Z

Working macOS CI builds with GitHub actions.

Main changes:

Added macos-15-intel as stable target with correct staging
Fixed broken dependencies (zlib)
Clean build - brew checks intelligently for existing python3.11 and installs deps as normal
Made macOS non-blocking alongside Ubuntu

Messy commit history due to CI retesting so squash and merge if approved.

we shouldn't use this mirror with old config files. I think we can do the same you did on ps3libraries repo, and add the get_config script, that tries to download but has a fallback.

Also we remove the duplicate download on gcc/binutils/ppu/spu and have a single download point.

Agreed, thanks for the catch.

This PR can't proceed as long as ps3libraries is blocking. Changes to ps3libraries are currently affecting the reliability of the toolchain wholesale. Will reopen once it stabilises.

The utime.h thing was already fixed in the newlib-1.20.0-PS3 repo, and the patch updated from that.

Don't go making manual changes to newlib-1.20.0-PS3.patch, it's autogenerated from the repo.

That’s what I thought too, but I was hitting an issue with it during CI runs. Maybe I wasn’t rebasing, I’ll roll back and try it again today.

It's still occurring on latest CI, https://github.com/ps3dev/ps3toolchain/actions/runs/27085703145/job/79939629234?pr=135

@zeldin do you know what the root cause of this is?

zeldin · 2026-06-07T08:42:29Z

@TheMrIron2 The root cause has been fixed already, but since your fix-macos-cli branch does not contain the fix you need to rebase it on current master first.

Replaced a bad path. On modern macOS, both `TARGET_OS_MAC` and `__APPLE__` can be visible. So the old "no fdopen()” path runs and the macro replaces fdopen() with NULL and corrupts it.

Same behaviour as ps3libraries - check Savannah, and if not, fall back on local copy

sys/utime.h declares utimbuf using time_t, but does not include a header that declares time_t. This breaks libraries that include <utime.h> directly, eg libnfs. Include <sys/types.h> earlier so the header is self-contained.

This reverts commit 9475164.

This reverts commit 93f2b6d.

zeldin · 2026-06-07T09:39:54Z

BTW, this PR seems to contain two completely orthogonal things:

Adding a macos build to the CI
Refactoring the fetching of config.sub and config.guess

These should be split into two separate (and appropriately named) PRs before merge.

TheMrIron2 · 2026-06-07T09:51:53Z

That did the trick, Ubuntu CI is back to passing. Still getting the hang of this! A lot of moving parts here haha.

Yes, one bled into the other as I worked on it, Savannah was hanging some CI attempts. I'll split them up once I verify macOS is clean. Thanks!

TheMrIron2 · 2026-06-07T09:58:54Z

Closing in favour of two separated PRs.
