Hi,

I get the following error during installation of arb.

Last 15 lines from /Users/akanni/Library/Logs/Homebrew/gv/02.make:

There is also a warning:

Warning: Calling depends_on :x11 is deprecated! Use depends_on specific X11 formula(e) instead.
Please report this issue to the denismm/gv tap (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core), or even better, submit a PR to fix it:

The error you report is in the formula denims/gv on which we depend. We can't fix the problem in the dependency. On which macOS version do you use?

However, the Homebrew maintainers by now have introduced the breaking change to remove the :x11 dependency completely. Therefore, I can't build ARB at all even though I have the gv dependency already installed. Unfortunately, it seems like it will take some time to fix. Therefore, I can't promise any time at which the formula will be working again. Sorry!

Just a short progress report:

I managed to make ARB compile on macOS again
the dependency on the gv formula was removed for macOS by the ARB maintainer
the dedicated arb-project/arb/xfig formula could be replace with the default xfig formula from Homebrew
unfortunately parts of the application crash under macOS while working fine on Linux

I hope to find a solution to the crashes next week. I'll let you know when a fix is available.

Sorry for the long time it took to fix the issue but finally the formula works again :)
