autogen.sh fails on MacOS Apple Silicon

[athornton]

I did run autoupdate, and gettext is installed, and I have done brew unlink gettext && brew link gettext --force.

Libintl is clearly installed:

configure: error: Can't find required file libintl.h

[PerryWerneck]

Did you tried the configure option below:

./configure "LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gettext/0.21/lib" "CFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gettext/0.21/include"

Or this option (from here):

brew unlink gettext && brew link --force gettext

[athornton]

I did do the brew unlink/relink. I didn't do that configure. Let's try that.

That configure option seems to have done the trick (plus setting the prefix appropriately). Thanks!

[athornton]

...I managed to get libv3270 built, and pw3270, but actually getting it to run is another matter.

[athornton]

Closing--configure is an OK workaround. I still don't have a running pw3270 but that's a project for another day.

[mgrossmann]

Could you please update the documentation, regarding libintl stuff?

./configure "LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS -L$(brew --prefix gettext)/lib" "CFLAGS=-I$(brew --prefix gettext)/include"

[PerryWerneck]

Did you tried ./autogen.sh --with-libiconv-prefix=$(brew --prefix gettext) ?
