Error while applying 'make' to a Sage package

[Douglas Hulbert]

Dear Member of the SAGE-DEVEL team:

1. My latest attempt to use MAKE to install sage is unsuccessful.
   
2. I'm using a MacBook Pro 15" 2019 2.4 GHz 8-core Intel Core i9 running macOS Catalina V. 10.15.7.
   
3. A log file requested in zsh shell output response to the MAKE command is attached.
4. Other zsh output is pasted below.
5. Just this month retired from USGovt service, I'm a math Ph.D. and former professor who is enthused about the prospects of putting sage to work in math education.

Best regards to you and your team,

Doug Hulbert

Can you post the config.log file that was generated by running ./configure before running make?

[Dima Pasechnik]

Dear Doug,
your OS and Xcode are much newer than Sage 9.1 - there could be no way
to make sure that they would work together.
You could better try the latest release candidate instead -
http://mirrors.mit.edu/sage/devel/index.html

And yes, the top level config.log would be very helpful.

Dima and Zachary, thank you for rapid responses.

Attached is the config.log file, found in the directory /Users/douglashulbert/sage-9.1.

I noticed that there's a gap in the version numbers between my OS version and those posted on the MIT mirror site.  

I went to http://mirrors.mit.edu/sage/devel/index.html.  I'm working to see how to choose the appropriate tar file.

Dima is the expert on this and can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Xcode 12 broke sage 9.1.  Fortunately this is being fixed for 9.2 which is already on a release candidate but has not been released in the wild yet.  Probably the easiest thing to do would be to clone the git repository and install the latest developer version:

git clone git://github.com/sagemath/sage.git

cd sage

./bootstrap

source .homebrew-build-env

./configure

make -j16

Also, you can see from config.log that sage encourages you to brew install python3, which isn't necessary but could speed things up a tiny amount.

our source code does not depend upon

OS. Just take the latest one:

sage-9.2.rc2.tar.gz
