Hi all Devs

 

Try to use gcc16.1  But I can't build Clover with these settings and Default Toolchian GCC161: build error 4000 gcc161 not defined etc.

if [[ $MYTOOLCHAIN == GCC* ]] && [[ ! -x "${GCC161_BIN}" ]]; then
    if [[ $MYTOOLCHAIN == GCC161 ]]; then
      cd "${CLOVERROOT}"
      ./build_gcc16.sh
    else
      MYTOOLCHAIN=XCODE16
    fi
  fi

 

 

 

I take a look at the repo and see :

if [[ $MYTOOLCHAIN == GCC* ]] && [[ ! -x "${GCC152_BIN}" ]]; then
    if [[ $MYTOOLCHAIN == GCC152 ]]; then
      cd "${CLOVERROOT}"
      ./build_gcc16.sh
    else
      MYTOOLCHAIN=XCODE16
    fi
  fi

I can't build too if Default ToolChain is GCC161.

 

I don't understand why Default ToolChain must be GCC152 !!!

                              Default TOOLCHAIN: GCC152

                     Switch to XCODE select: build (with XCode)

     Depending on your XCODE version the Toolset will be automatically chosen

---------------------- Current Python version: Python 3.14.6 --------------------

 

 

1) build Clover (Default Toolchain)    😎 build Clover (with XCode)

2) build all (Default Toolchain)       9) build all (with XCode)

3) make Release (Default Toolchain)   10) make Release (with XCode)

4) update Clover       11) build Clover with HFSPlus

5) make pkg       12) Extra Options

6) make iso       13) Exit

7) make Clover_V2

 

Please enter your choice:

 

So Buildme use gcc152 parameters instead of gcc161 :

Running edk2 build for CloverX64 using the command:

Because GCC 16.1 was not yet implemented.
After Shabbat is over, this will be published.

Yes, that's right. And I'm waiting for my pull request to be approved.

@MakAsrock 

I was under the impression that if you leave SMBIOS empty in config.plist, Clover will detect my OS and choose a compatible smbios. But why is it clover have chosen iMac18,1 on my Tahoe which is not compatible for Tahoe?

Unless i misundertood the changelog

I haven't touched the SMBIOS logic and can't say anything definitive about it. Everything should follow the instructions in Clover_Of_Khaki_Color_5172-en.pdf
It is likely that your RIG is more similar to the iMac18.1 in terms of hardware composition (You didn't specify which of the profile desktops/laptops displayed the SMBIOS iMac18.1).
In any case, the Intel HD 620/630 is the closest to the iMac18.1.
To automatically select another model, you need at least a discrete card from AMD from the list of suitable ones (not lower than Polaris).
I know that you can only specify the model, then Clover will automatically fill in the rest.
But all the models you listed are not fully compatible with Tahoe.
