Problems building Emacs on macOS Sonoma 14.7.4 aarch

[Pierre Rouleau]

Hi all,

I've been trying to build emacs on a macOS Sonoma 14.7.4 without success so
far.
I tried building with the macOS provided clang system and also with gcc-14
toolchain with pretty much the same outcome.
I tried building from the git repo at emacs-30 and emacs-30.1 tags.  Also
with pretty much the same outcome.

- I executed a complete clean of the repo.
- then executed ./autogen.sh,  ./configure, make

The make ended up with

rm -f emacs && cp -f temacs emacs
make[4]: Leaving directory '/Users/roup/my/dvpub/emacs-repos/emacs/src'
/opt/homebrew/bin/gmkdir -p

Then I did a make bootstrap and ended up with:




load-with-code-conversion("/Users/roup/my/dvpub/emacs-repos/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-preloaded.el"
"/Users/roup/my/dvpub/emacs-repos/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-preloaded.el"
nil nil)
  load("emacs-lisp/cl-preloaded")
  load("loadup.el")

I then tried:
- make extraclean
- make bootstrap
- make V=1

Nothing seems to complete the build.

Is there a specific set of instructions to built Emacs on macOS?  I was
able to build it from Linux, but macOS seems a little more difficult.

Any pointers as to what I might want to look into?

Thanks
