[tim-morriss]

Getting same issue. Sonoma 14.2.1 M2 Pro, Homebrew 4.2.12

[Bominfood]

yes we found it was a problem across what we think is all m1/2/3 macs with this dependency of qmk
brew reinstall arm-none-eabi-gcc@8

[shearn89]

Same issue here, Sonoma 14.4 M3 Pro:

$ brew --version
Homebrew 4.2.12-29-g58b84c3

Reinstalling arm-none-eabi-gcc@8 results in this:

[ladislas]

@fauxpark any ideas?

[fauxpark]

None at all. Something has evidently changed...somewhere...as it was previously compiling fine as of a while back. I still have the formula installed, but running brew reinstall fails with the same thing.

[GafaiZheung]

Same issue here. Sonoma 14.4, M1 Pro. I've tried to reinstall a lower version of Xcode Command Line Tools(I tried 15.1), it works. Hoping help you.

[manicnerd]

Today, I was able to successfully run

brew install qmk/qmk/qmk

on my M2 mbp

[fauxpark]

Yep, the QMK CLI is now bottled for M1 users on Sonoma 14.2 and up. This issue can be closed.

[shearn89]

Same, confirming on Sonoma 14.4 M3 Pro - install worked fine, as did the dependencies (gcc etc).
