MacOS Sonoma - configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs

Writing, because all the solutions I tried didn't work.

Error:

⚠️  Something went wrong running `pod install` in the `ios` directory.
Command `pod install` failed.
└─ Cause: /bin/bash -c 
set -e
cd sqlite-src-3450300

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

Solution:

  1. Open zshrc: nano ~/.zshrc
  2. Add export SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk
  3. Save changes and go back
  4. Run source ~/.zshrc

TL;DR

It may be very tricky, it can not run, because in my case was compiling incorrectly.

I created C "Hello World" program with zsh terminal and tried compiling it with clang. Every time I tried to run, system was killing it.

To find the issue, I created C program in XCode, and ran it. It ran without issues, then found compiled file by XCode moved to exact same directory as "Hello World" program before (with cp command): it ran without issues.

Here I understood problem wasn't how or from where compiled files run, but how they were compiled.

I logged XCode build & terminal build and found that, SDKROOT difference was the cause: I had some other path, when XCode was using /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk.

So adding this path to SDKROOT solved the issue.

P.S. 2 Days wasted on this
