“:TSInstall norg” command stuck on compiling

[alandao]

theHamsta@ from nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter recommended me to forward this issue here.

Describe the bug

I’m not able to install the norg parser. It never finishes compiling.

To Reproduce

1. Open up nvim
2. Run :TSInstall norg

Expected behavior

I expected the norg parser to be installed within a few seconds

From nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter#2538, I was able to successfully run ":TSInstall norg" after installing gnumake on NixOS

I also got error when I try to install it with :TSInstall norg

I also had this issue, there are steps in documentation to resolve this.

If you are on mac, for some reason for me even compiling it with clang 15 (installed via xcode-select --install) didnt work, I had to set CC to gcc-14 (installed via homebrew) for it to finally compile.
