To Reproduce

brew install gcc xz libxt cairo pcre2
asdf install r latest

Describe the Bug

First I got this error:

configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not available

This was not documented in README.md but I could resolve this with brew install xquartz --cask.

Then retrying it led to this error:

configure: error: "liblzma library and headers are required"

The library and headers seem to be present:

% brew list xz

% brew --prefix             
/opt/homebrew

It was not clear to me how I can get asdf install r latest to pick up this library/headers. I ran export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/xz/5.6.1/include" and retried which made progress but then it failed with:

making localecharset.d from localecharset.c
grep.c:75:10: fatal error: 'pcre2.h' file not found
# include<pcre2.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
making logic.d from logic.c
make[2]: *** [grep.d] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [R] Error 1

I noticed that this repository has not seen any commits in last 2 years.

Expected Behaviour

R should install successfully on mac os M1 using asdf

It seems to work after I ran:

export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/xz/5.6.1/include -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/pcre2/10.43/include/"
asdf install r latest

I ran into this exact same issue on my m1 mac.
