Using macOS 11.6, trying to install OTP26 via asdf and getting:

In file included from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/Foundation.h:12:
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Headers/NSBundle.h:91:143: error: function does not return NSString
- (NSAttributedString *)localizedAttributedStringForKey:(NSString *)key value:(nullable NSString *)value table:(nullable NSString *)tableName NS_FORMAT_ARGUMENT(1) NS_REFINED_FOR_SWIFT API_AVAILABLE(macos(12.0), ios(15.0), watchos(8.0), tvos(15.0));

What’s the fix for this function does not return NSString error?

Hi @chocolatedonut that is a very strange error, can you show how you’re installing it specifically?

Hi Ben. I set erlang 26.0.2 in .tool-versions (along with elixir 1.15.4-otp-26) and ran asdf install.

asdf is v0.10.0-77fd510 and only potentially relevant env-var is KERL_BUILD_DOCS=yes.

Here’s the tail part of otp_build_26.0.2.log, from the error mentioned in OP to the end:

This seems related to WX. The fastest solution is to add a flag to not build WX if you will not use it, by default it doesn’t build if it can’t locate WX, otherwise take a look at issues like this one: Unable to compile with wx on mac os x mojave · Issue #95 · asdf-vm/asdf-erlang · GitHub

Thank you both! KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-wx" asdf install solved the issue.

As documented in the readme, the real fix is probably brew install wxwidgets.
