Meson can't find luaJIT on mac
-
Hi,
I just cloned a fresh copy of TPT (2 times, actually) and get an error:
meson.build:79:1: ERROR: Dependency "luajit" not found, tried pkgconfig, framework and cmake
(full log here)
I followed the instructions to compile, and luajit as well as the other dependencies are installed.
Am I doing something wrong? Help!
-
Has homebrew actually succeeded in installing luajit? Ignore, I'm blind. Well, in this case, the only thing I can suggest is looking at what files luajit installed, most notably finding the pkg-config file for it (something with .pc in its name) and figuring out what name it's available under (since it's apparently not "luajit").Edited once by LBPHacker.

Yep.
% brew reinstall luajit

Exact same result.

Whoops! Sorry!
UPDATE: I had to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig, so then it recognized it, and now it can't find libcurl.

The guide doesn't make you install libcurl because it seemed to be installed by default on 10.5, but maybe you need to install it manually on 11. I think what you need is the "curl" package, but I only base that on the fact that the "libcurl" package does not exist. I can't provide anything better than educated guesses because I don't have access to a 11 machine :/ Anyway, if you figure it out, we'll update the guide.Edited once by LBPHacker. Last: 27th Jan 2021

Yes! It worked! pip seems to not install meson and ninja correctly, so I used brew, curl needs to be installed by brew, and my .zshrc needed this put in:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib:usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/opt/curl/lib/pkgconfig
So, to put it in from the command line, it'd be
echo "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib:usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/opt/curl/lib/pkgconfig" >> ~/.zshrc
Then, everything works! Thanks!

There are a lot of issues in mac developing..

Always have been, especially when there is a new macOS release. Your issue and the issue hear appear to be issues in pip / curl / etc. They will need to be updated so that they can be installed properly on the latest version of macOS.
It does seem like the new build system, meson, works without issues on mac :) (nobody has reported any problems with that yet, only with issues getting dependencies installed) -
But why didn't I get any issues with luajit? I'm running the same Big Sur 11.
