Hi,

Installing stuff

brew install automake libwebsockets asciidoctor pkg-config openssl@3
brew install qt5
brew install qt
brew install npm
npm install electron -g
brew install rust jq

Prepare Build

git clone https://github.com/PerBothner/DomTerm
cd DomTerm

autoreconf -i

This doesn't look like a DomTerm problem, but a gcc or installation problem.

First of all, gcc 10.* is quite old and no longer supported. I would try to update your gcc version.

If that doesn't work, I'd look at the last part of config.log and see if that gives you clues.

Thank you for taking the time to have a look into it and sorry for my delayed response

Using system clang

I refer to this as sysclang

export CC=/usr/bin/clang

$CC -v Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin23.6.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

configure with sysclang

./configure: every thing looks fine here please have a look at the attached confout-sysclang.log file

confout-sysclang.log

make error at dt-wry

Every things compiles until dt-wry:

I'm using rust rustc 1.80.1 (3f5fd8dd4 2024-08-06) (Homebrew)

Cannot run ./bin/qtdomterm

But also when I try to run an other backend domterm fails to create a new window

./bin/qtdomterm -Bqt

I was finally able to start looking at this. I was able to reproduce your problem building dt-wry on MacOS, though it builds fine on Linux.

However, if I configure --with-\out-wry, it builds, and I'm able to run both bin/domterm -Bqt and bin/domterm -Belectron.

I'll look into thedt-wry issue - though first I want to update to the latest version of Wry (which failed on Linux also).

[PerBothner]

I can build (and run) dt-wry on MacOS now. Possibly because I updated DomTerm to use the latest Wry releae.

[bentxt]

I can confirm, that I was able to compile it and run with bin/domterm -Bqt

[PerBothner]

Thanks for the feedback!
