brew install deno needs Xcode, that's too big about deno_install HOT 8 CLOSED

@dwiyatci Now I'm running BigSur.
brew gives me a prebuilt version.

from deno_install.

@xialvjun You are using with macOS Sierra (10.12) an too old and unsupported version of macOS, for which homebrew doesn't provide any official bottles anymore. You could either try to use the binary provided by deno for macOS or try to forcefully install the High Sierra bottle in homebrew, which might or might not work for you.

If not, than you have no other option than trying to build it from source, which unfortunately requires full XCode (because of V8).
Note that you will likely have to export FORCE_MAC_SDK_MIN="10.12" too, because V8 doesn't official support building V8 on Sierra (it's SDK is too old) anymore either).

maybe we can offer a prebuilt version.

from deno_install.

The homebrew version of deno is prebuilt and doesn't require xcode. We also publish binaries here.

It's not. I don't know should I issue here or in homebrew.

@xialvjun Oh, sorry, it must be an error in the brew formula (which is maintained externally).

Summoning @chrmoritz : have you experienced this situation?

from deno_install.

Got it. I'll upgrade macos version to latest mojave.

from deno_install.

@xialvjun Just out of curiosity: are you still running Mojave (and has it been good)? Got the same problem today when trying to isntall deno from Homebrew– call me old-skool but I've been staying with El Capitan ever since I bought my last non-TouchBar MBP in late 2015 😅
