--- Comment #82 from Jens-S. Vöckler <jens4303 at me dot com> --- I had some prior issues with w.r.t 32bits. Tinkering, this script does build a gcc 9.1 on macOS 10.14.5 on APFS. I didn't create it for beauty, and it's specific to my setup. The resulting compiler is unable to generate 32bit stuff. #!/bin/bash # here="$PWD" trap 'cd "$here"' EXIT prefix=/opt/gcc-9.1.0 if [[ ! -d $prefix ]]; then echo "FATAL: No such directory: $prefix" 1>&2 exit 1 fi # fix for fink interference PATH=$(echo $PATH | \ tr -d '\012' | \ tr ':' '\012' | \ fgrep -v /sw/bin | \ tr '\012' ':') export PATH="$PATH:/sw/bin"; echo "PATH=$PATH" set -v test -d gcc-9.1.0 || gtar xJf gcc-9.1.0.tar.xz cd gcc-9.1.0 test -d gmp-6.1.2 || gtar xJf ../gmp-6.1.2.tar.xz test -e gmp || ln -s gmp-6.1.2 gmp test -d mpfr-4.0.2 || gtar xJf ../mpfr-4.0.2.tar.xz test -e mpfr || ln -s mpfr-4.0.2 mpfr test -d mpc-1.1.0 || gtar xzf ../mpc-1.1.0.tar.gz test -e mpc || ln -s mpc-1.1.0 mpc test -d isl-0.18 || gtar xjf ../isl-0.18.tar.bz2 test -e isl || ln -s isl-0.18 isl mkdir objdir cd objdir set +v ../configure "--prefix=$prefix" \ --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,lto,objc,obj-c++ \ --with-system-zlib \ --disable-multilib \ --with-cpu=core2 \ --enable-threads \ "--with-sysroot=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk" test $? -eq 0 || exit 2 make -j 3 BOOT_CFLAGS='-O' bootstrap test $? -eq 0 || exit 42 make install ---&< snip, snip &<--- $ file /opt/gcc-9.1.0/bin/g++ /opt/gcc-9.1.0/bin/g++: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 $ /opt/gcc/bin/g++ hello.cc -o hello $ file hello hello: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 $ otool -L hello hello: /opt/gcc-9.1.0/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.26.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.250.1) /opt/gcc-9.1.0/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) $ ./hello Hello, world
