arb x11 and xfig install issue on Big Sur #7

Closed HollyKArnold closed 3 years ago

HollyKArnold commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I'm hoping to install ARB on macOS Big Sur 11.2.3. Unfortunately, I get the following errors when trying to install. Any ideas on how to fix the issue?

brew tap arb-project/arb
==> Tapping arb-project/arb

xfig: Unsupported special dependency :x11
Error: Cannot tap arb-project/arb: invalid syntax in tap!

And then I get the following when trying to install x-quartz

brew cask install xquartz
Error: Unknown command: cask

which can be fixed by:

brew install --cask xquartz

And quartz has installed successfully.

But then when running the next command, I get the following

brew tap denismm/gv

Any ideas on how to fix the problem? Any insight would be especially appreciated.

Hi,

regarding the XQuartz installation issue, I forgot to update the documentation to the changed syntax in Homebrew.

The most difficult problem to solve is the dependency on :x11. Homebrew suddenly removed support for it in a minor update and I could not find a solution around it yet. It seems that the stuff Homebrew does in it recent version is incompatible with the way ARB is build. In theory, the dependency to :x11 should just be replaced with dependencies to specific X11 libraries but that did not work, Homebrew made the dependencies available in a different than the ARB build file is expecting them. Unfortunately, I do not have any idea what you could try right now. The issue with the gv formula is cause by the same problem. So if we can solve it for ARB we should be able to solve it for gv, too.

I‘ll try to find time next week to have a look if the situation changed and I can make the formula work again. I hope to be able to provide at least a workaround via Docker if I can’t make the formula work again.

Just a short progress report:

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 :)
