FWIW, 20.1 seems to compile fine, so I'm going with that one.

[dragonwasrobot]

I have experienced a similar issue (also on newest OS/X) when trying to install erlang 20, 19.3 and 19.2 with asdf.

Last part of the log when trying to install erlang 19.3:

Same error here - I tried to compile R16B03 - the actual compiler command is:

Kerl have fixed this issue (Fix point arithmetic error in wx_impl.cpp for Erlang with XCode CLT 9.0 ) - they implement a patching mechanism - can asdf-erlang do something similar?

[madsheep]

+1 here, only 20.1 install works right now

[eproxus]

I started writing a pull request for this plugin to support patches. Since Kerl already patches many things for many versions and operating systems, I thought, why reimplement all that. So I created a plugin that just uses Kerl instead: https://github.com/eproxus/asdf-kerl

Maybe you find it useful.

[bryanhuntesl]

@eproxus genius - in my entire career that's the most pragmatic thing I've ever seen. It might be the _only_ pragmatic thing I've ever seen!

[eproxus]

@bryanhuntesl Thanks 🙇

[jeremyjh]

I had a similar issue installing 20.1. I worked around it by using gcc instead of clang as the C compiler. This was suggested in a thread about erlang build issues in Homebrew. https://github.com/Homebrew/legacy-homebrew/issues/7691

CC=/usr/bin/gcc asdf install erlang 20.1

[Stratus3D]

I just merged #54. In the PR I tried to combine the best ideas from asdf-erlang and asdf-kerl. asdf-erlang now uses kerl underneath for builds just like asdf-kerl. It also installs and configures kerl automatically, so users don't have to worry about getting it installed beforehand. And it is configured so it will not interfere with the user installed kerl, in case the user wants to use both.
