[MacOS Sequioa 15.0.1 M1 Pro] Build fails when building fontconfig

[nikolalukovic]

Both

CC=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang CXX=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang++ ./Meta/ladybird.sh run ladybird

and

./Meta/ladybird.sh run ladybird

fail with the same error:

The log from: /Users/nikola/src/ladybird/Toolchain/Tarballs/vcpkg/buildtrees/fontconfig/package-arm64-osx-rel-out.log is attached as log.txt. It complains about Undefined symbols for architecture arm64 for:

• fc-pattern/fc-pattern
• fc-scan/fc-scan
• fc-validate/fc-validate
• fc-query/fc-query
• fc-match/fc-match
• fc-conflist/fc-conflist

I'm not sure if I should create an issue in vcpkg repo instead?

The build log you posted is about libpng. There was some issue with libpng a while ago. What ladybird commit and vcpkg commit are you pulling from? We clone vcpkg into Toolchain/Tarballs/vcpkg from Toolchain/BuildVcpkg.sh

[nikolalukovic]

Ladybird commit: d6a8fc00c3435bd9b4e61edeb364dec5c1bf65ea vcpkg commit: 2960d7d80e8d09c84ae8abf15c12196c2ca7d39a

[ChaseKnowlden]

Doesn't fail for me.

[nikolalukovic]

I got desperate so I nuked my whole system. Reinstalled and set up everything from scratch. And now it works ¯\(ツ)/¯. The only thing I didn't do is install llvm. So I suppose I did something stupid with env after installing llvm previously which caused this breakage.

[struckchure]

Well, i installed llvm and i'm still having the same issue.

Please note, I'm not a C++ / Systems Engineering expert 😃

[osalbahr]

@struckchure have you tried installing llvm@19 and running CC=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang CXX=$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang++ ./Meta/ladybird.sh run? That seems to have fixed it for me.

I found it in https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/blob/master/Documentation/BuildInstructionsLadybird.md#using-ladybirdsh

Yes I have llvm@19 installed, but I'm still getting this 👇

Strange. It works on my end (M2 Pro). I recommend asking in the Ladybird Discord server or opening a new issue.

[ADKaster]

If the issue is libjxl, I just got a PR merged there to fix this.

Assuming you don't have some new bug, the fix is to entirely clear out your $LDFLAGS before running our script.

[ADKaster]

But also, this issue was closed 7 months ago. The first place to look for build support should be #build-problems on our discord. If you really have a strong reason not to do that, a new issue would be better than zombie posting.

Thanks
