Hi!I don't own a Darwin system, so I can't help much reproduce. However, I've received a bug report to the Linux man-pages, that our build system (GNUmakefile-based), which ends up calling ... | install /dev/stdin $@ doesn't work on Darwin. Here's the original bug report: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/300797>. Here are the reported error messages: ...

I don't see why install(1) should fail to read /dev/stdin under any POSIX system
What version of darwin is this? I can't repro on Darwin 21.6.0 (MacOSX 12.6). The issue seems to be that /dev/stdin returns a varying inode which install(1) doesn't like currently cheers, Pádraig
