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 !!!

                           🍀 Clover r5172 (SHA: 9af58b239)

                              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:

build --cmd-len=50000 -D NO_GRUB_DRIVERS_EMBEDDED -D LESS_DEBUG --conf=/Users/mathieu/src/CloverBootloader/Conf -D USE_LOW_EBDA -D ENABLE_MODERN_CPU_QUIRKS -p Clover.dsc  -a X64 -b RELEASE -t GCC152 -n 9

 

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

@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

The changelog is accurate, but automatic SMBIOS selection is a hardware-matching heuristic, not magic. Clover chose iMac18,1 because it detected your Intel HD 620/630. For desktop Macs, iMac18,1 is the last profile where this IGPU works as the primary display output.

Clover couldn't automatically choose iMac20,1 or 20,2 for Tahoe because Apple completely disabled the integrated Intel UHD 630 on those models at the factory level (they rely exclusively on AMD dGPUs). Forcing iMac20,x on an IGPU-only desktop would result in a black screen.

The only real Macs with a working HD 630 on Tahoe are laptops (MacBookPro16,1 / 16,4), but Clover won't automatically assign a mobile profile to a desktop configuration.

Leaving SMBIOS empty is always a gamble on newer macOS versions. If you want to boot Tahoe on this hardware, you must manually specify a compatible SMBIOS in your config.plist and inject the required device-id patches as described in Clover_Of_Khaki_Color_5172-en.pdf.

Thanks for the clarification. So would say that it's more of a hardware based detection rather than OS.

 

Im saying this due to macos not allowing you to do "fresh" install with unsupported smbios even with no_compat_check or Skip Board ID Check
