tea without Xcode-cli-tools

[tnxz]

Have installed tea with out installing Xcode-cli-tools don't seem to be running into any issues other than occasional popup to install them when something like git or gcc are invoked without wrapping them with tea. This can be solved symlinking them(git, gcc, ..) to tea as described in tool to PATH in the readme.

Will there be any foreseeable problems that might be encountered?

Xcode CLT provides the macOS SDK. If something on mac needs eg gcc then sometimes it also need the SDKs.

I would love for there to be a way to provide the SDKs without the Xcode CLT, hopefully we can all figure out a way some day. Also would love to be able to provide something like the SDKs that works in most cases, but we haven't had much luck there yet either.

So, you can tea +llvm.org +tea.xyz/gx/cc to try to use our cc, gcc etc. without Xcode CLT. If you have problems then install the Xcode CLT.

recently tried to compile a project with the same command as you pointed, but it is complaining about ld

[mxcl]

What's the complaint? We have good experience here.

[tnxz]

./configure ... prompts no ld and install xcode clt prompt

ln -s $(which tea) ~/.local/bin/ld still prompts to install xcode clt

which ld - ~/.local/bin/ld

ld does trigger ~/.tea/.../bin/ld from tea -n ld

~/.local/bin is on the PATH

cc seems to be triggering popups even on installing tea
+llvim.org +tea.xyz/gx/cc. Am I missing any other package??

As it currently stands, cc requires the CLT on darwin: https://github.com/teaxyz/pantry/blob/bdbb2fcecf7bcc5baef86a91b30bcac96da18240/projects/tea.xyz/gx/cc/package.yml#L8-L12

You should be able to use llvm.org in place of tea.xyz/gx/cc in many applications, however our packaged build mechanics generally depend on our cc for the SDK reasons. But in any project which you control, you have the ability to use llvm or gcc or something else freely.

If you +llvm.org it cc should use it, if not it's a bug. Please open a ticket if so.
