Compiling under macOS: libclang_rt not found

Question

You might into the problem that CMake complains about not finding libclang_rt when trying to compile under macOS:

library not found for -lLIB_clang_rt.osx-NOTFOUND

Answer 1

You can provide the path to this library manually, e.g. my running ccmake instead of cmake. It should be found in a path similar to this one depending on the XCode version you've installed:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/11.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.osx.a

Comments

I've found one in:

`/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/lib/clang/14.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.osx.a`
