[General]: libgccjit error "no such file or directory: 'HOST=mymacbook'"

[tzz]

Issue description

I recently upgraded to Mac OS 14.7 on this machine (actual hostname replaced with mymacbook below).

After the upgrade I started to get the errors at the end. I've ensured that gcc, libgccjit, and emacs-plus have been uninstalled and installed again.

I've verified that (getenv "PATH") is correct so I don't think it's #720 (and I'm on Sonoma anyway).

❯ grep -A 1 PATH $(brew --cellar emacs-plus@30)/30.0.91/Emacs.app/Contents/Info.plist
		<key>PATH</key>
		<string>/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/Users/tzlatanov/golang/bin:/Users/tzlatanov/bin</string>

and in Emacs-plus

(getenv "PATH")
/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Developer/usr/bin:/usr/local/go/bin:/Users/tzlatanov/golang/bin:/Users/tzlatanov/bin

The only way I've been able to start Emacs-plus has been by setting this in early-init.el:

(setq comp-dry-run t)

So this seems like perhaps an error in the way comp.el does the compilation invocation but I haven't been able to find the issue. I hope you'll have some clue. Thank you for your kind time and help.

This looks like an upstream issue, the MacPorts build of emacs-app-devel has the same problem on my machine. I have not been able to find if it's an Emacs or libgccjit issue.

[harisonkhlil]

I have made the same error after upgrade to macOS 15

[rbugajewski]

I had also the same issue after upgrading to Sequoia, but in my case it is related to #720, and the messages go away when I start Emacs from Terminal.app (or via the integrated scripts that also launch Emacs from the shell, but leave another window open).

[harisonkhlil]

No, I can't build with 'native-comp'

If you add the exec-path-from-shell package it will fix it for now. Eventually the bug will be fixed upstream and you can remove exec-path-from-shell. I can confirm it's still a problem on macOS Sequoia 15.1 official release version.

[tzz]

I have the same error after upgrading to Sequoia 15.1.

exec-path-from-shell doesn't fix the issue. Only (setq comp-dry-run t) shuts up the constant errors.

[tzz]

It's really frustrating that I can't trace what the heck is spewing these errors. It feels like somewhere the invocation of clang went from a shell exec to a direct exec.

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'HOST=mymacbook'

But I don't know where to report this or how to bisect it.

[tzz]

I have "resolved" this for myself, no more errors, with this against the latest Emacs, in early-init.el:

(setq
 native-comp-enable-subr-trampolines nil
 native-comp-jit-compilation nil
 )

I hope this helps others. I think it's still a valid issue but feel free to close it if it doesn't concern anyone else.

Holy ... @tzz ! I've spent more time on this issue - trying all the sym-linking, reinstalling, &c, to no avail, and your simple lines seem to work! Thank you.

• Sequoia 15.2 (M1)
• emacs-plus@31

Seems unrelated to Emacs+.
