frida-gum/meson.build:1:0: ERROR: 'c' compiler binary not defined in cross or native file

[Koororo]

I based on the frida build solution you provided. https://gist.github.com/miticollo/6e65b59d83b17bacc00523a0f9d41c11
The build can be done with arm64e and arm64 via m1 mac

make build/frida-ios-{arm64e,arm64,arm64eoabi}/usr/lib/pkgconfig/frida-core-1.0.pc

But there is a problem when the build program runs to arm64eoabi
meson-log.txt

make build/frida-ios-arm64eoabi/usr/lib/pkgconfig/frida-core-1.0.pc

I can't fix this error
just only this arm64eoabi ,HELP!!!!

• Are you sure that you installed Xcode (not only Command Line Tool)?
• Did you try to set export DEVELOPER_DIR=...?

Because this is a strange error. It seems that for target arm64eoabi meson doesn't find a C compiler (like clang). But it finds the compiler for the other two targets: arm64 and arm64e.

• I made sure that Xcode was installed on my m1mac.Xcode version 14.1

• execute echo $DEVELOPER_DIR, the path is right

echo $DEVELOPER_DIR
/Applications/Xcode14.app/Contents/Developer

The same problem occurs in macOS in VMware, but when I start Xcode 11.7 it works, which is a very strange problem.

DEVELOPER_DIR must be Xcode11.7?

[miticollo]

No.

At least the problem is meson.build + M1. Because to compile it I always use an Hanckintosh with Intel i7.

[Koororo]

I know where the problem is.

• 3.Once downloaded, opening the .xip archive will begin extracting it. After extraction, rename the app to avoid conflicting with your primary installation of Xcode and move it to (e.g., )./Applications/mv Xcode.app /Applications/Xcode-11.7.app

I did not rename for xcode11.7

before is : /Applications/Xcode11.app

after is : /Applications/Xcode-11.7.app

I have completed the build task of make build/frida-ios-{arm64e,arm64,arm64eoabi}/usr/lib/pkgconfig/frida-core-1.0.pc

Now my M1 can also build deb like you do

👍 Thanks for your reply and help 👍
