Missing archive platform-tools-osx-x86_64.tar.bz2 on release v1.42

[gmaurice]

Hello,

Just to mention that the osx-x86_64 archive for v1.42 release is missing.
Anchor v0.30.1 needs it.

Thank you.

I did some tricks,make anchor can pass defalt solana program.

1. cargo build-sbf --tools-version "v1.43"
2. cd $HOME.cache/solana
3. cp -r v1.43 v1.42

Please, update your Solana version, and you'll get the new tools version v1.43, whose binaries are available for x86 Macs.

The version installed using the process documented here: https://solana.com/docs/intro/installation, i.e. sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)", installs a Solana version requiring platform-tools v1.42

Edit: agave-install update does not fix this, cargo build-sbf is still failing. Even --tools-version v1.43 --force-tools-install doesn't work, it initially downloads the v.43 version, but than fails again at the end as it tries to download the v1.42version again.

agave-install update
solana-cli 2.0.19 (src:2c653b09; feat:607245837, client:Agave)
avm use 0.30.1

Still require v1.42 when I run the anchor build.
Can you tell me which Solana version has used the tools v1.43?

[LucasSte]

Any version newer than 2.1 ships with platform tools v1.43.

@LucasSte Some indication of how to update would be incredibly helpful. As noted above, agave-install update does not update to a new enough version.

Also, based on the github releases, 2.1.x are unstable pre-releases. Could we have stable release that can be used on Mac?

[ChisTrun]

You can fix this by using Solana from the beta channel instead of using the stable channel.
Follow this document: https://solana.com/docs/intro/installation#install-the-solana-cli
sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)"

As mentioned earlier, you can download a beta version. Mainnet will switch to 2.1 in January and DevNet is already using 2.1 (see https://github.com/anza-xyz/agave/wiki/v2.1-Release-Schedule).
