The "cctools" package contains the linker ( ld64 ), assembler, and other binaries required to build mach-o executables (the format used by macOS and iOS).
Orchestrates thousands of computing tasks across clusters, clouds, or grids simultaneously.
The linker now respects .exports files more strictly. If your code relied on accidental exports, you must explicitly mark them. cctools 65 new
You would typically encounter this when:
: Ensure your environment variables point to an updated iOS or macOS SDK that matches the capabilities of the new lipo tool. Issue 2: Segment alignment errors from the linker ( ld ) The "cctools" package contains the linker ( ld64
