I am using Mac OS 13.0.1

i get to this point everytime everyway I try to configure the code from source….

0checking dependency style of g++... gcc3
1checking whether g++ supports C++17 features with -std=c++17... yes
2checking whether std::filesystem can be used without link library... no
3checking whether std::filesystem needs -lstdc++fs... no
4checking whether std::filesystem needs -lc++fs... configure: error: in `/bitcoin/bitcoin-cli':
5configure: error: cannot figure out how to use std::filesystem
6See `config.log' for more details

what can i do to remedy the situation?

You’re using an unreleased version of macOS?

What compiler are you using? What is the error in config.log?

There is a macOS 13 beta out. I’m not sure why Apple would call it 13.0.1 while it’s still in beta though?

I’ve recently encountered this on MacOs 12.5 I think I needed to install g++8 to get it to work, I see that you have g++3 there. I’m trying to redo my google searches. Did you follow the instructions through the macOS guide and have all the dependencies installed?

you know i actually meant 10.13.6

using this guide:

There’s no need to use (outdated), 2 year old build guides from Medium. Just use our actual build documentation: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md.

In any case, you didn’t answer either of the questions we need answers to, to solve your problem: What compiler are you using? What is the error in config.log?. The problem is that your compiler doesn’t support using std::filesystem. You can install and use a newer compiler that does. i.e GCC 8.1+ or Clang 8.0+.

how do i go about updating gcc in mac os? with home brew ? i couldnt seem to get it working with brew install gcc@8 but it still recognizes gcc3 and not the new one. how exactly do i install the new compiler?

What is g++ --version (I think on macOS this will just print some clang version, as g++ may be an alias for clang)

There’s no particular reason to use GCC 8. I’d instead suggest llvm, which is currently version 14.0.6. Once installed, pass CC and CXX to configure. i.e:

0brew install llvm
1./autogen.sh
2# where /path/to is something like /opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin/clang.
3# brew info llvm will show you this.
4./configure CC=/path/to/clang CXX=/path/to/clang++
5make check

clang ? is that what llvm is?
