I'm certainly not an expert on macOS, so I could be getting things wrong here, but it looks like we don't ever explicitly install the gcc@8 package from Homebrew. It may have happened to be installed automatically by Travis in the past, but they may have upgraded now that GCC 9 has been released. I suspect if we want to use GCC 8, we need to explicitly install it by using "brew install gcc@8", or we can just pick the latest released GCC by using "brew install gcc" if we like that better. We will still need to do "brew link gcc" (or "gcc@8"), since I suspect Homebrew won't auto-link it since macOS provides a gcc binary. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
