Error compiling demo to wasm on macOS

[DaveLomber]

I'm trying to compile the demo https://github.com/dtolnay/cxx/tree/master/demo for wasm under macOS

The command is the following:

cargo build --target=wasm32-wasi

But getting an error:

  cargo:warning=In file included from /Users/asd/workspace/cxx/src/cxx.cc:1:
  cargo:warning=/Users/asd/workspace/cxx/src/../include/cxx.h:2:10: fatal error: 'algorithm' file not found
  cargo:warning=    2 | #include <algorithm>
  cargo:warning=      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~
  cargo:warning=1 error generated.

What could be wrong?

What Clang version do you have? I have the same issue in my case (running demo also fails for host target). I suspect it's related to the build tools version, since I upgrade to macOS sequoia recently. My error:

I checked the header locates at /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/algorithm

[indirection42]

I have solved the problem by using the following workaround:
sudo ln -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/* /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1.
However, I'm not sure how the normal /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1 dir looks like.

I have the following

% clang --version
Homebrew clang version 18.1.7

InstalledDir: /opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin

I'm on macOS Sonoma 14.5

clang -v -E -x c++ - < /dev/null give me the following:

which indicates the cpp header file search files. And I think /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include should be /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1

I ran into this today too on linux. exact same problem with missing algorithm header

[BukiOffor]

I have solved the problem by using the following workaround: sudo ln -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/* /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1. However, I'm not sure how the normal /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/include/c++/v1 dir looks like.

this worked for me too, I guess its an issue with the new Mac OS sequoia update
