Build fails on Mac OS X 10.6.7 using Homebrew

[jbrisbin]

I'm trying to build erlv8 on my Mac with pkg-config installed from Homebrew. This puts a symlink in /usr/share/aclocal that points to /usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4.

The build doesn't like this symlink. When I copy the file from /usr/local/share/aclocal to /usr/share/aclocal, the build proceeds.

Thanks for submitting this bug. Will take a closer look shortly. I am on OSX, too and using Homebrew as well. Will try to figure out what exactly is causing the problem.

By the way, any console output you can share?

[yrashk]

Is your setup the same way as mine?

The only difference I can see is that in /usr/share/aclocal I have a symlink:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 31 Mar 29 19:21 pkg.m4 -> /usr/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4

And it's only on the configure step. I can't repeat it by just running make.

The error specifically was a "file not found: /usr/bin/../share/aclocal/pkg.m4" on configure.

[yrashk]

can you paste the full build log?

[yrashk]

Any updates on the build log or is this bug no longer the case?

[jbrisbin]

I haven't had a chance to try this from scratch again. It takes a while for the build and I haven't had time to do it.

I'll let you know if I see a problem.
