[llvm-dev] Ld64.lld cannot find Foundation framework

[Edmund Furse via llvm-dev]

James, many thanks.

Is there any linker available for Macs that has a freely available binary version?
I thought maybe that GNU’s linker might fit the bill?

I cannot use Apple’s linker from /usr/bin/ as it is not allowed to make external calls from a sandboxed app.
Hence my interest in the LLVM lld.
