ld: warning: text-based stub file are out of sync. Falling back to library file for linking

Question

When I am trying to sourceCpp, it gives a warning:

ld: warning: text-based stub file /System/Library/Frameworks//CoreFoundation.framework/

Answer 1

The dates of CoreFoundation and CoreFoundation.tbd show that the latter is much older. This suggests it can be ignored. The out of sync problem can easily be cured by deleting the .tbd file. It is not needed and if not present cannot generate the out of sync error.

I use CoreFoundation and IOKit on 10.13.6 and this is a simple solution avoiding reloading CommandLine tools or setting links or trying to export SDKs etc.
