Qmk_firmware: [Bug] Linker error

[kdheepak]

I'm getting a linker error when trying to compile the firmware for the keyboard.

$ qmk compile -kb helix -km kdheepak

Ψ Compiling keymap with make helix:kdheepak

Any thoughts on what might be going on here?

This should be fixed by https://github.com/osx-cross/homebrew-avr/pull/183

Bottles with a fix are currently being built. I'll merge and publish tomorrow.

In the mean time, you can look up https://github.com/osx-cross/homebrew-avr/pull/185 for a fix if you want to build from source.

~I guess it might be related to this: https://github.com/osx-cross/homebrew-avr/issues/182~.

I should have refreshed the page before commenting. Thanks!

I built from source after making the same changes from the patch and this worked!
