From compiling recently it looks like `Security.framework` is always linked (see the static linkage results from the text files) I can rework this patch to do what we would expect (use Security.framework on 10.7-10.9 and then use CoreCrypto for > 10.10) Will open a new issue for that work ---------------------------------------- Feature #17730: Ruby on macOS transitively links to ~150 dylibs https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17730#change-91039 * 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: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
