I wish there was a package that worked with Homebrew. By the accounts I’ve
found, it’s significantly better than Fink and MacPorts, and I’ve standardized
on it.
I’ve tried compiling xcircuit myself but that just leads down a rabbit hole.
First it says there’s something wrong with pkg-config, so I tried to install it
but failed, after hundreds of lines of incomprehensible Terminal output,
including such gems as:
gatomic.c:416:10: warning: incompatible integer to pointer conversion passing
'gsize' (aka 'unsigned long') to parameter of type 'gpointer'
(aka 'void *') [-Wint-conversion]
return g_atomic_pointer_and ((volatile gpointer *) atomic, val);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
along with complaints about things like PATH and setting environment variables.
I’m sure this is helpful to somebody, but it isn’t to me.
Then I tried creating my own Homebrew “formula” per their instructions, but
that led to another rabbit hole.
Couldn’t there be a release that “just works”?
