Crates for macOS

There's a Mac-special Alire repository on Github which provides for macOS-related issues.

Workarounds​

gprbuild can try to build static standalone libraries, where the 'standalone' part means that the library will be automatically elaborated. It does this using features available in GNU binutils, but not in Mach-O binary -- on either machine architecture. Alternative versions of crates that normally would attempt this are provided in the Mac-related index:

  • langkit_support-24.0.1, builds a plain static library.
  • libadalang-24.0.1, likewise.
