Erlang OTP-24.0.1 released!

There’s no ElixirForum announcement forum post to comment on yet but I’ve just installed Erlang 24.0.1 without having to downgrade autoconf or specify any env vars on the command line!

It was just a matter of a simple asdf install erlang 24.0.1

EDIT: Oh, there was a forum post after all, missed it by an hour or so.

You missed it Dimi… moved your post to it

Did you have KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS set at all?

I typically use this on macOS:

KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--disable-hipe --without-javac --with-ssl=/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1
KERL_BUILD_DOCS=yes
KERL_DOC_TARGETS=chunks

But asdf install erlang 24.0.1 fails for me with:

checking for OpenSSL header in /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1... yes
checking for OpenSSL in /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1... configure: error: neither static nor dynamic crypto library found in /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1
ERROR: /Users/jason/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_24.0.1/otp_src_24.0.1/lib/crypto/configure failed!

And brew --prefix openssl does give /usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1

Nope, zero tinkering this time. Just a normal install command.

I just tried asdf install erlang 24.0.1 and am still getting the same error as before:

ERROR: /Users/Macbook/.asdf/plugins/erlang/kerl-home/builds/asdf_24.0.1/otp_src_24.0.1/lib/crypto/configure failed!

(This is on macOS Mojave)

Do someone know what to do with
wxWidgets was not compiled with --enable-webview or wxWebView developer package is not installed, wxWebView will NOT be available
message?

Seems to be related to Best option to do desktop apps in Elixir - #32 by dominicletz. It doesn’t look like anything you need to deal with unless you want to build desktop apps with elixir.

Error here too. macOS Mojave 10.14.6

From the Issue comments on github:

Looks like kerl is still setting DED_* flags for you, as you can still see them in your paste. Since it’s kerl setting these, it’ll need to be fixed by the kerl maintainer, otherwise you’ll have to patch your kerl shell scripts to omit those flags.

and

Until kerl stops passing these DED_* flags you wont be able to build OTP 24 using kerl on MacOS.

I am receiving this error.

I am coming from OTP 23

Erlang/OTP 23 [erts-11.1.6] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1]

Eshell V11.1.6  (abort with ^G)

never installed OTP v24.0 before

Does anyone know what could cause this?
