commit 9b426f27bc9aafd05726059f5eec488da4c6a31e
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Sat Oct 19 12:25:54 2024 -0500
PROBLEMS: Document macOS/Homebrew/uchardet issue.
Add item and document workaround under "groff 1.22.4" because it likely
affected that release as well; Bertrand added uchardet as an optional
dependency in 2017, and the next groff release was in December 2018.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?66143>. Thanks to Sven Schober
for the report and for determining the workaround.

[groff 1.22.4]
+* I'm building groff for Homebrew on macOS, and the build does not find
+ the `uchardet` library even though I know it's installed.
+
+ groff and Homebrew have different ideas about where to find the
+ "uchardet.h" header file (because its API is undocumented), and this
+ causes groff's "configure" script to not find the library. To work
+ around the problem, tell groff's "configure" script that uchardet
+ support is desired, and where to find the header file.
+
+ $ ../configure --with-uchardet CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/include

+ Thanks to Sven Schober for researching this issue.
