I also have this error, exactly the same logs.

[coolcoder613eb]

Me too.

Sorry for the delay (to be honest, I just switched to clang for my own i386-elf purposes, but I still like to update this repo if I'm able to).

I've updated the GCC version carried by this tap to GCC 14.1, and it seems to compile OK on my M2 system with macOS 14.4.1.

If someone can replicate that this i386-elf-gcc is working now, I'll mark the issue as fixed.

😅 Okay, let me check

[danirod]

I've bumped the version of GNU binutils that this tap is carrying to 2.42. I haven't checked the compatibility table, but it totally could be that Binutils 2.37 cannot be used with GCC 14.1.

I'm testing on a separate and empty Homebrew installation and it seems to work.

I can't build i386-elf-grub on a 64-bit machine. I get:

../../grub-core/lib/gnulib/base64.h:58:60: note: expected 'size_t *' {aka 'long unsigned int *'} but argument is of type 'grub_size_t *' {aka 'unsigned int *'}

[danirod]

Yeah, I am still looking at it. I believe that some packages just aren't compatible with macOS 14's clang yet, I can't build neither gdb nor grub with macOS 14's default compiler. Something something make[3]: *** No rule to make target ../../grub-core/extra_deps.lst', needed by syminfo.lst'. Stop.

I should probably just make these packages build-depend on normal gcc and binutils, because I'm very, very tired of these quirks whenever macOS releases a software update.

[snacsnoc]

@coolcoder613eb I was able to successfully compile grub 2.06, with the same configure options in this formula.

../configure --disable-nls --disable-werror --disable-efiemu --target=i386-elf --prefix=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/i386-elf-grub/2.06_1 TARGET_CC=i386-elf-gcc TARGET_NM=i386-elf-nm TARGET_OBJCOPY=i386-elf-objcopy TARGET_RANLIB=i386-elf-ranlib TARGET_STRIP=i386-elf-strip && make -j8

To fix the type mismatch, this simple patch I put together, while hacky, does work:

The patch resolves type mismatch errors by adding temporary size_t variables (temp_digestlen and temp_saltlen) for the output sizes in base64_decode calls, replacing the incorrect grub_size_t* parameters. This seems to stem from a cross-compiling issue in of itself, a more holistic solution to fix the mismatched types should be created.

[kksys]

I've faced this issue on my MacBook Pro (Intel Mac, mac OS Sonoma 14.7) too.

[tridivUX]

I've updated the GCC version carried by this tap to GCC 14.1, and it seems to compile OK on my M2 system with macOS 14.4.1.

If someone can replicate that this i386-elf-gcc is working now, I'll mark the issue as fixed.

Is this something I can do locally?
