BUG #18980: Unable to perform make due to inability to resolve a variety of Undefined symbols arm64
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 18980
Logged by: Clifford Campo
Email address: cc@cj3.cc
PostgreSQL version: 18beta1
Operating system: Mac OS Tahoe on M4 Pro Mac Book Pro
Description:
Although I was able to compile and link 18beta1 source code on a very old
mid-2010 iMac running MacOSX 10.13.6 [High Sierra], I could NOT compile and
link PostgreSQL version 18beta1 source on my new M4 Pro Mac Book Pro running
Mac OS Tahoe; *** also failed to compile and link on this same machine
running Mac OS 15.5***
configure looked like:
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/pgsql/pgsql18beta1 \
--exec-prefix=/usr/local/pgsql/pgsql18beta1-exec \
--with-perl \
--with-python \
--with-pgport=5438 \
--with-bonjour \
--enable-debug \
--without-icu \
--with-tcl \
--with-tclconfig=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/tcl-tk/9.0.1/lib
NOTE: I was able to configure, make and INSTALL PostgreSQL 17.5 ON THIS Same
exact same Mac OS Tahoe on M4 Pro Mac Book Pro !!
Numerous "Undefined symbols for architecture arm64" errors when attempting
to perform the make step per

9.4.

That does work for me, and for quite a few other people.
Errors resulting from attempting to perform a make on PostgreSQL version
18beta1 look like:

All of these missing symbols seem to be from OpenSSL, which I don't
understand because your configure command didn't say --with-openssl.
Are you sure that's actually the full set of options you're using?
Maybe you have a stale autoconf cache you need to clean out?
If you are using --with-openssl, I wonder which OpenSSL you are
using. Apple deprecated their system-library version of that
long ago, and perhaps it's finally gone in Tahoe. Most of us
use Homebrew or MacPorts to install a version of the openssl
libraries that we can use with PG. If you are trying to do it
like that, I think the problem is that you're missing --with-includes
and --with-libs configure options to point at that installation.
For instance, I use
--with-includes=/opt/local/include --with-libs=/opt/local/lib
to build with MacPorts' openssl.
