FWIW - https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/c/ccextractor.rb (the link pointed to in https://github.com/CCExtractor/website/pull/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?

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

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 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/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.

Cross referencing the most recent homebrew PR for ccextractor, since the one for 0.96.1 is closed.

Update: CCExtractor has now been reintroduced to Homebrew🎉

The formula was merged into homebrew-core and CCExtractor v0.96.3 is available on both macOS and Linux:

brew install ccextractor

Thanks to everyone involved in resolving the upstream and Homebrew-side issues.
