Install fails on OS X with Xcode 10 Command Line Tools about nes-py HOT 8 CLOSED

Let me see if I can get an emulated environment up and running that can duplicate the error and make sure the pandas solution will work here. Thanks for catching this issue and providing a solution!

from nes-py.

I found a fix for OS X 10.11 with CommandLineTools 9.2, but it should work for other versions.
Just add '-stdlib=libc++' in setup.py under EXTRA_COMPILE_ARGS
Then run pip install -e . in the repo folder

If you are getting clang: error: invalid deployment target for -stdlib=libc++
do export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.10

from nes-py.

OSX 10.13.6
clang-1000.10.44.4

My solution, paste this 2 commands in the terminal:

1. export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.13
2. CFLAGS='-stdlib=libc++' pip install nes-py

macOS-deployment-target can be less then 10.13, but I'm not sure how much less

I can't seem to replicate the issue on either my development machine or build server both running MacOS 14.14.4 with Xcode 10.2.1 (also clang 10.0.1 and python 3.7.3). Which specific version of MacOS and Xcode caused this compilation failure?

It does appear that libstdc++ has been deprecated by Apple in favor of libc++ [1]. It may be worth exploring the support for libc++ on Linux and Windows instead of building on deprecated MacOS toolkits.

EDIT: quickly found a rebuttal to the above idea.

I am on OS X 10.14.4 with the CommandLineTools installed, not Xcode. CommandLineTools version is 10.2.1.0.1.1554506761.

from nes-py.

I've switch compilers as g++ produces better results on Linux (although the results are the same on MacOS for both clang++ and g++). If the issue still happens, it might be worth updating setup.py with some MacOS specific logic for more seamless installation.

Running MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 pip install nes-py worked for me

Closing issue as it seems stale and mostly environment-dependent.
