[llvm-dev] Ld64.lld cannot find Foundation framework (original) (raw)

James, many thanks.

Is there any linker available for Macs that has a freely available binary version? I thought maybe that GNU’s linker might fit the bill?

I cannot use Apple’s linker from /usr/bin/ as it is not allowed to make external calls from a sandboxed app. Hence my interest in the LLVM lld.

Will ld64.lld be fixed in LLVM v11.0 and when is this likely to be? Likely won't be fixed that soon. 2). You mention Apple’s linker, by which I assume you mean GNU’s ld. Is it possible to get a binary version of ld (preferably that does not use other things from /usr/bin)? No, Apple does not use GNU ld, they have their own linker, "ld64". That's what you ran as /usr/bin/ld on your mac.
