What

Name the commands that provide the toolchain for the relinker-only build on macOS: xcode-select --install for AppleClang, brew install cmake ninja for CMake and Ninja. One sentence in the existing macOS mention of the Relinker only section; Linux and Windows already name their packages and toolchain there.

Tested

macOS 27.0.1 on Apple Silicon (arm64), AppleClang 21.0.0, CMake 4.4.4 and Ninja 1.13.2 from Homebrew 7.0.7, Python 3.14.6 from Homebrew.

brew install cmake ninja was run on this machine and provided both tools. xcode-select --install was not run here because the command-line tools were already installed at /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools.

Relinker-only build from a clean checkout of main (a6dcea9), with the commands of the section:

cmake -S . -B build-relinker -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DANYPS5_RELINKER_ONLY=ON -DBUILD_TESTING=ON
cmake --build build-relinker --parallel
ctest --test-dir build-relinker --output-on-failure

Configure found Python 3.14; build 237 steps in 19 s; 100% tests passed out of 229; ctest -N lists input_magic (#199). python3 tools/check_conventions.py passed and python3 tools/pr_overlap.py --branch docs/macos-relinker-prerequisites reports no overlap.

Reviewed the one-line relinker-only prerequisite clarification. It names AppleClang’s Xcode Command Line Tools installer and Homebrew packages for CMake/Ninja; the submitted clean-checkout test report includes the full relinker-only build and all 229 registered tests on Apple Silicon. Conventions, intake, and labels pass. No hosted full build was run for this documentation-only change.

Some comparisons could not be completed because a pull request conflicts with the base branch. Review these shared files manually before concluding that there is no overlap.

The macOS prerequisite sentence is accurate and the author reports a clean relinker-only build plus all 229 registered tests on Apple Silicon. The #8087 overlap named by the earlier bot is now merged; its added Windows/MSYS2 guidance is separate from this macOS sentence. This branch and test report are based on a6dcea9, while upstream main is now ab347d1. Please rebase/update the branch and refresh the conventions/overlap checks against current main; the hosted docs-path checks pass. I did not run local tests.

[EnriqueDev2002]

Rebased onto current main (8b3a6ba); the conflict with the merged #8087 is resolved keeping both the Windows and the macOS clauses. Refreshed on the rebased branch: conventions check passes, overlap report shows no line conflicts, relinker-only build and 230/230 tests pass on Apple Silicon.

Dismissing a stale review: the requested changes were addressed after it (new head) and the merge queue blocks on it. Please request changes again if anything is still open.

Checked the one-line change against docs/dev/BUILD.md: the commands match the existing macOS wording, the rebase kept both the Windows and macOS clauses, and Conventions and labels pass; merged.
