Hi Hayden,

 

I’ve made the preliminary port until I was blocked by the issue you’ve mentioned.

I reported this to the list but, AFAIK, nobody is working on it.

Hello there! I'm sure you're likely aware, but, as of macOS Big Sur, system dylibs are found exclusively in the dyld_shared_cache.

 

This poses a unique issue, where nothing can be linked now, as it can't find a libc mach-o. This can be solved one of two ways, by either dlopen/dlsym-ing at runtime, or by adding tapi support (Apple's YAML format they use in SDKs as opposed to real dynamic libraries). The source for libtapi can be found here: https://opensource.apple.com/source/tapi/tapi-1100.0.11/

 

My question is, is there a general consensus on which path to take, or has work already been started on one?

Cheers,

Hayden Seay
