The Security framework is linked only when it is available but CommonRandom is not. It is the case that the minimum required macOS version is 10.7(Lion)..10.9(Mavericks). I'm not sure whether other sources are available on these old versions. ---------------------------------------- Feature #17730: Ruby on macOS transitively links to ~150 dylibs https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17730#change-90997 * Author: rickmark (Rick Mark) * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- By using `-framework Security` and `-framework Foundation` Ruby 3 pulls in about 150 dylibs when compiled for macOS By using CoreCrypto / CoreFoundation I was able to reduce this to ~50. This greatly reduces Ruby's surface area and dependencies on macOS. Further CoreFoundation is only used for one call in the entire codebase of `CFStringNormalize(m, kCFStringNormalizationFormC);` - if we can replace this, Ruby could work with only `libSystem` and `libgmp`. ---Files-------------------------------- ruby_deps_after.txt (2.24 KB) ruby_deps_before.txt (9.81 KB) 0001-Remove-unneeded-dependencies-on-macOS.patch (2.36 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
