building iometa on ubuntu fails: "cc: error: unrecognized command line option '-framework'"

[b17fr13nds]

hello, I tried to build iometa in an ubuntu 20.04 docker container. However when I type make, I get the following error:

cc -o iometa -Wall -O3 -flto -DVERSION=1.6.6 -DTIMESTAMP="`date +'%d. %B %Y %H:%M:%S'`" -framework CoreFoundation -framework IOKit -lc++abi -Isrc  src/*.c gen/cxxsym.c
cc: error: CoreFoundation: No such file or directory
cc: error: IOKit: No such file or directory
cc: error: unrecognized command line option '-framework'
cc: error: unrecognized command line option '-framework'
make: *** [Makefile:12: iometa] Error 1

So I tried to remove the -framework flags. Now I get a very long error message: https://pastebin.com/L0pxrtZn

Can someone please describe how to build iometa on linux correctly?

Thanks, BitFriends

Yeah Linux is not supported, too many dependencies on macOS internals.
You'd have to fix up libc++abi, and find a suitable replacement for IOKit plist parsing. Maybe you could patch and compile the parsing code from IOKitUser even, but it'll be a significant amount of work.
