FWIW - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/c/ccextractor.rb (the link pointed to in CCExtractor/website#40) is also gone; the formula was previously disabled and subsequently deleted after one year of disablement.

I do provide a formula at https://github.com/alebcay/homebrew-ccextractor/blob/main/Formula/ccextractor.rb but this is even less-maintained and has no prebuilt binaries - I may revisit it once in a while to try and keep things working but no guarantees that it continues to compile on newer versions of macOS.

For anyone stumbling here looking for a quick two liner to install ccextractor on macOS:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alebcay/homebrew-ccextractor/main/Formula/ccextractor.rb
brew install --formula --build-from-source ccextractor.rb

I saw that this was merged already, if so - do you know why is the formula unavailable on brew.sh?

It was merged on ccextractor website, not brew.sh.

I get that, but who is the maintainer of the formula on brew.sh? Is there one?

[superbonaci]

But that's not the reason, adding ccextractor to brew.sh has to be accepted first, since it's not there.

[seidnerj]

It was already there in the past, who added it then? Maybe they will be willing to add it again.

I created the attached scripts so I won't need to deal with this in the future. Hope somebody finds this useful. Tested on macOS Tahoe 26.0 (25A354).

@alebcay Can you help us get CCExtractor on homebrew again? Hopefully the blockers are gone. PR #1862 is where we'll making the changes that at least help with the CI build, don't know if it's correct for brew though.

I see someone has opened a PR for re-inclusion over at Homebrew/homebrew-core#260163. I'll provide feedback/guidance over there.

I noticed that there's no equivalent of the -system-libs flag in the Linux build script. Homebrew supports both macOS and Linux at this point, so it would be preferable to rely on system libs in Linux too.
