Hello CT team,

I'm using CT on macOS Ventura (Intel) with very good success. Recently, XCode automatically updated to version 15.0, and I was not able to compile anything (I used CT 8.0).

So I reinstalled XCode, MacPorts, and when I tried to reinstall CT 8.21, I got a lot of linking errors dealing with the pointers (see below). The list with ld: warning is much longer. But the result is that FPC is not compiled, nor is the CT. Please, can anyone help? What did I do wrong this time? Thanks in advance.

With best regards

Premek

We have the same problem.

The only solution until now is to install previous version of XCode
Xcode 14.3.1   developer.apple.com/services-account/dow...3.1/Xcode_14.3.1.xip

Rename OR Delete XCode 15.0 first.

We hope Apple to solve this problem with next XCode release....

Hi Matis,

Thanks a lot for the link. I was not sure where to find the old XCode version.
So far it seems that at least FPC is compiling fine.
It is strange that I get the XCode update when my automatic updates and isntallations from AppStore are disabled.
