origin: Not working in macOS Monterey

https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/MacOS12BSDThreadRegisterIssue

I have a hacky “fix” which works for me. Im only using a tiny subset of functionality though (getting tokens for pushing images and a couple of info commands) so not sure if this makes the entire oc binary work.

Im also on an intel mac so not sure if this will work for arm. docker is used to build all the tools so you will need docker up and running too.

git clone https://github.com/openshift/origin.git
cd origin
git checkout v3.11.0

Then patch hack/lib/build/binaries.sh to comment out the go install command

This will build the binaries for mac and dump them in _output/local/bin/darwin/ARCH

Hope that helps!

Not exaclty a fix, but the version you can install with brew (openshift-cli) seems to work fine. I got the same error with this version.

@Themodem thanks for the workaround! After doing brew install go then following your steps, I now have an ‘oc’ binary that works.
