I have absolutely no idea if this was the correct thing to do, but I was getting this error when trying to compile.

I have libiconv and libidn installed

I asked GPT and it said, just add char *strdup(const char *s); to utils.c and it worked.

❯ make whois
cc -I/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/include -DHAVE_LIBIDN2 -I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libidn2/2.3.7/include  -g -O2 -c utils.c
cc -g -O2 -L/opt/homebrew/opt/curl/lib -o whois whois.o utils.o -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libidn2/2.3.7/lib -lidn2

Works great.

Again, this might have been the stupidest thing to do, I don't know.
