It also fails on Lion 10.7.5. See attached main.log.

KeePassXC 2.7.6_0 installs fine but 2.7.6_1 does not.

FYI -- The upgrade of KeePassXC from from 2.7.6_0 to 2.7.6_1 also fails on Mountain Lion with the same error.

Exactly the same … 2.7.6 built, 2.7.6_1 won’t build. Quite often metioned: clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1.

OS: macOS 10.12.6 Sierra. I’ll attach the log.

Logfile for macOS Sierra.

It's likely failing due to a change in clang-17 that weak links that function now.

Try it with some clang < clang-17, that should still have the old behaviour, until someone sorts out a fix for this.

@kencu -- Thank you for the heads up. I did not realize that the latest Portfile for KeePassXC now has clang-17 as a build dependency.

You are right, KeePassXC@2.7.6_1 builds just fine with clang-16. See below.

P.S. I was able to build KeePassXC@2.7.6_1 on High Sierra without specifying the clang-16 on the command line. But the buildbot for High Sierra failed. The build bots succeeded for Mojave to Ventura.

It is interesting when one runs port info keepassxc on High Sierra, one does NOT see clang-17 as a build dependency.

But one does see clang-17 as a build dependency when running port info keepassxc on Lion and Mtn Lion.

Ye, ran through with clang-16 under Sierra, too. I don’t know why, but clang-9 was also loaded, one-off, I think (and will be removed). Under Sierra one sees clang-17 as build dependency.

Could someone update the portfile so that it builds on older versions of macOS?

Replying to RobK88:

It does not. MacPorts as a whole was updated to use clang-17 as its default fallback compiler in October 2023 if Xcode clang cannot be used.

Replying to tenzap:

The change was rolled back for older systems in November 2023 because it caused other problems.

According to the ​build status, KeePassXC 2.7.6 built fine on OS X 10.8 and later in January 2024.
