cannot install llvm using homebrew on macOS mojave

Question

System: macOS mojave 10.14.6

when I use brew install llvm , this error appears:

Error: cmake: undefined method `on_linux' for #<Class:0x00007f7f744bf6b8>

Answer 1

I happened to have a Mojave machine and re-did the installation process myself, and it works fine.

Here is what I did:

• brew install llvm (I actually used brew reinstall llvm , since it is reinstall for me)
• echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile , brew version would be on your PATH
• source ~/.bash_profile , apply the PATH change

The full installation log:

$ brew reinstall llvm

==> Caveats
To use the bundled libc++ please add the following LDFLAGS:
  LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib"

llvm is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.

If you need to have llvm first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin:$PATH"' >> /Users/rchen/.bash_profile

For compilers to find llvm you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/llvm/include"
