It does not work at all. On FreeBSD the host /usr/bin/install will usually work - except after a new required option was added. This patch solves the problem on macOS https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51335 1374655 1 wosch 2025-07-20 15:02:35 +0000 (In reply to Wolfram Schneider from comment #0) Sorry, wrong review link, the correct one is https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51443 1375195 2 des 2025-07-24 13:32:25 +0000 macOS's install command is not old - you can see the source here: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/file_cmds/tree/main/install Presumably, the issue you ran into is that they deliberately disabled the `-N` option, which is used when building release tarballs. 1391888 3 wosch 2025-11-11 19:01:10 +0000 (In reply to Dag-Erling Smørgrav from comment #2) Thanks for the hint to the apple source code. This appears to be the code for macOS 15.x and 26. But macOS 14.x looks very old, see https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=install&manpath=macOS+14.8 Not everybody want or can upgrade to the latest macOS release.
