Actually no. Works fine now with clean sources in HS using Xcode 9 with CLT set to CLT 10.

I’m testing Mojave as we speak (same CLT, only Xcode 10 Beta 5).

Since it didn’t work before with the HS setup above, and it does now, I’m expecting it to work with Mojave as well.

I’ll update you as soon as possible. I’m doing it with clean sources on both. So that will take a little bit more than just the building itself.

But so far, yeah, seems to be working.

Let me know then :wink_anim: , last night I've set up a new hack (asus) and finally I was able to see the error 65 you mentioned that is nothing than a known bug in Xcode 10 build system (it is already in the radar ). Basically new Xcode didn't find generated resources (by ibtool) for just a matter of timing (they get generated, but Xcode looks for it before are in place) and my workaround is just to create and traslate xibs before invoke the make file.... so stuff are already there.

Guys, in the meantime, since this is the second time this happens...is there any way that Clover could just remove FakeSMC.kext from Clover/kexts/Other upon installation?

It's the second time this happens, and I don't think it's a coincidence. And it's a bit annoying, cause that's one of the things you really cannot boot without. And it's the only thing that's missing from the kexts folder.

Could you, please, take a look if the post-install script does something funny here?

I see. So Beta 2 doesn't have this issue, but Beta 4 and 5 do. So yeah, looks like an Xcode bug...

Anyway, I promised I'll make a new clean install in Mojave. And...here I am.

Yes, it does work. Clover 4634 can now be built successfully with Xcode Beta 5.

And...I see what you did there. LOL

IMHO can't happen, or better to say not by Clover. Each Payload is just a cpio archive and this program doesn't overwrite existing folders or files while instead create missing ones, like can be the /EFI/CLOVER/kexts directory. So if that instead is happening the only guilty is cpio and we cannot do nothing and cause can be only the problematic file due to some weired circumstances. I can only advice to sosbitute your fakesmc with a new one and delete all the copies.

You're most welcome.

And yeah, it's weird... I just tried reinstalling 4634, with Finder opened to Clover/kexts/Other...and I watched that damn FakeSMC.kext the entire process and it did not go anywhere... Not sure how the hell did it get removed the last time.. And I tried this with both HS and Mojave. Worked perfectly fine with both. And different partitions. :)) So yeah....not sure. I'll keep an eye on this. But as you said, it's most likely not Clover's fault here.

Thank you very much for all the time and effort you put into fixing these issues.

I think @arsradu talking of existing one. Clover doesn't provide it for installation even though an old copy is present inside the ThirdParty directory, but is unused.

Slice · August 3, 2018

If the kext was install with some other clover package which had the kext then new package will consider that the option is unchecked and will remove it.

If you always use official installer then it will never happen.

Correct. I was talking about Clover (which...doesn't seem to be the case) removing FakeSMC.kext (and ONLY FakeSMC.kext) from Clover/kexts/Other. Not adding it. :)) It will not added it, cause it doesn't have it anywhere.

vector sigma · August 3, 2018

Guys, any problems with ApfsDriverLoader? What about make it now mandatory and ban apfs.efi(I mean deleting it if found during the build process and at installation time)? Please advice..

All fine from my side. I mean, I already switched to it on all my systems. So yeah, from my experience, I'd say we could use it by default.

vector sigma · August 3, 2018

+1. But to correct my self, I wanted to say ban apfs.efi only if

1) ApfsDriverLoader is ~~not~~ present.

2) any?

But...does Clover have FakeSMC inside it...? Cause I didn't find an option in the installer to check/uncheck it... I mean, you do have this for drivers. But not for kexts. I could be very wrong though.

And yeah, this happened when upgrading from one Clover version to the other. But still...there was no checkbox for FakeSMC.kext in Clover installer.

No, official installer never had FakeSMC as an option. It is unofficial installer should be.

But Clover.iso does contain some version of FakeSMC but it will not delete anything, it is iso and no more.

You are right. Now I remember I did use a custom script to build Clover once. Not the one I use on a daily basis. Which is based on official instructions and doesn't add any custom kexts. But another one. I used it just to see if the Error 65 still occurs. Which it did. And that had absolutely nothing to do with the script.

But yeah, that was the point of testing this theory in the first place. :)) To see if the method used for building Clover makes any difference for that error. In this case, it didn't. But I remember now that this script also installs FakeSMC. So you're definitely right.

Now it's perfectly clear what happened. Many thanks!

It's too bad to install the FakeSMC among Clover:

1) user can have it in SLE already

2) user can have plugins from an incompatible branch anywhere, and cause kp.

really a bad thing mixing stuff.

Yeah, but in this case, it was all automatic. Good thing I was paying attention to the log, so I could see what was it doing. :))) Otherwise, it would continue to be a mystery forever.

Sherlocks · August 3, 2018

i alway kept FakeSMC in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other.

i never FakeSMC installation issue.

Yep. I thought it could have been a bug somewhere, with the post-isntall script. But also, I see no reason why the post-install script would even go into the kexts folder to begin with. That's why I thought I could just ask... Also, it was weird from the beginning, cause I use the same version of Clover on my systems. And this only happened on one of them. :)) That was my next step debugging this issue. But I totally missed the part where I used a custom script to see if Error 65 occurs... and that script also installed FakeSMC. And now that I think about it, I remember I was surprised it did that. :)) I never thought it will actually create issues later on. But yeah, everything that Slice said makes perfect sense now.

Many thanks, guys.

Hi Guys

Great Job :thumbsup_anim:

Thanks a lot @Slice @vector sigma @Sherlocks @arsradu for theirs work and their remarks. I test two UDK2018 script: they work well on Mojave with Xcode 10 beta 5.

A small detail though:

the Clover logo would not appear in dark mode
I have a problem with the alphabetical order of UEFI drivers

arsradu · August 4, 2018

Yep, the logo is a known issue, for as far as I know. And yeah, I was also wondering how to order the drivers alphabetically in the installer.

This happens if you compile Clover on an apfs volume. Alphabetical order is maintained if compiled on an HFS+ volume (but mandatory drivers show first, then optional drivers in "drivers-Off", in alphabetical order) eg

Thank you for this clarification, which gives the cause of the problem of alphabetical order under Mojave (apfs). :yes:

As on High Sierra, the drivers list includes the mandatory and then the additional drivers. These two groups are affected by the problem indicated on 10.14.

I don't know if there is a solution.
