Command Line Tools outdated

[real-or-random]

Can we get a catalina-xcode-12.3 image?

My use case is running valgrind (https://github.com/LouisBrunner/valgrind-macos) which is pretty fragile when it comes to versions. I currently use catalina-base and install Apple's "Command Line Tools" manually but that's a PITA in CI because the normal process involves the user clicking on buttons see https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/195963 .

A catalina-xcode-12.3 image should do the job. valgrind compiles fine on big-sur-xcode-12.3. But I can't switch to big-sur because valgrind just won't run work there properly, it's not supported yet.

catalina-base should have the command line tools installed. But probably not the latest. Will an update to catalina-base work for you?

Indeed, they're available (because installing homebrew automatically installs command line tools AFAIU) but not in the latest version.

Will an update to catalina-base work for you?

I believe this will do the job, too.

Ok, and with homebrew in mind , I can imagine that even a simple rebuild of catalina-base should work because then homebrew should fetch the newest version of CLT.

Let's try that first. The VM hasn't been rebuilt since October. If that won't work then I'll build the Xcode one of the update version. Will ping you once available.

Sorry it's taking a little bit of time. I want to include the latest security updates for Catalina in the VM and the VM just keeps hanging. I'm investigating it...

Thanks for the quick reply and no worries, it's not the urgent because the manual installation works. And have a merry Christmas!

BTW how do you update the CMD Tools manually? Though softwareupdates?

See https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/107307/how-can-i-install-the-command-line-tools-completely-from-the-command-line/195963 (and the comment including a change for catalina). It's implemented here: https://github.com/real-or-random/secp256k1/blob/1111e4801e88f605a2eb9839752ce68e40a14641/.cirrus.yml#L115

The image should be updated now. 👌
