How to point configure down the right path to icu - macos

I'm a newcomer to macs and terminal in particular, so this may be a stupid question. I'm trying to run ./configure in mysrc/myfreeling so that I can install freeling but I get this error: checking for main in -licuuc... no
Unicode ICU library not found.
Make sure libicu is
installed and can be found in a standard path.
You may need to set LDFLAGS to specify search path.Now, when I do "port installed" it shows:icu #49.1.2_0 (active)So I know that I have icu. So I tried env LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib" and env LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib/icu" which is where the icu folder is located, but I still get the same error. How can I tell configure how to access icu?

Okay, I got it working. I had installed icu with MacPorts. I just went and did a manual install and now its working. I'm not sure why/how this resolved the issue and would love to know if anyone has any insight.

MSYS2: pkg-config doesn't resolve/list dependencies of gtk+-3.0

after I successfully set up my gcc/g++ environment under my Linux installation, I decided to do that for my Windows 11 machine as well. For that purpose I decided to use MSYS2. With the help of that handy tool I quickly installed MinGW as well as corresponding libraries.
One library which gives me headache (under Windows) is pkg-config. But before the installation of pkg-config, I installed gtk-3.0 first. I just installed it with the following command:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3
After that I installed pkg-config with the following command:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config
After that, I tried to get all include and library flags for gtk3:
pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0
However after entering that command, the following error message occurs:
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-3.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'gtk+-3.0', required by 'virtual:world', not found
The thing is that this exact command works like a charm under my Linux installation but somehow pkg-config can't find the package in the pkg-config search path. Why is that the case? Is that a known problem within the MSYS2 environment?
I would appreciate every tip I can get from you.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: It looks like I just had to start the MinGW64 shell and not the one from MSYS2. Within that environment the files can be found and no error will occur. Thanks #HolyBlackCat!
The following answer is outdated, written in italic style and shouldn't be followed.
I just solved it by myself. I found out that I had to copy all .pc files from msys64\mingw64\lib\pkgconfig to the path I get from echoing PKG_CONFIG_PATH:
echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
gives me
/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig:/lib/pkgconfig
So I just copied the files to /usr/lib/pkgconfig - problem solved!
Thank you anyway! :)

I can't seem to get rdkafka to play nice with the confuent-kafka-go package

this is my first question on StackOverflow. Usually I find a solution from someone else's question but this time the internet does not seem to have many answers.
So I'm getting this message after using go get and every time I try and compile and run my application.
# pkg-config --cflags rdkafka
Package rdkafka was not found in the pkg-config
search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `rdkafka.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'rdkafka', required by
'virtual:world', not found
I searched the issues on the github page for the repo and found one thread related to this, but none of those solutions seem to work for me. I'm running fedora 26, I have go 1.9 installed.
I've tried:
dnf install
Compiling from source as instructed on their README
yum install because I became desperate.
Downloading and installing from the RPM
Has anyone come accross this and maybe have an idea of how I can fix it?
I suggest that you install librdkafka from Confluent's repository as described in their documentation. But I think that you'll need to build librdkafka from source RPMs, like I'm doing for Ubuntu.
So I got it working thanks to Remi. Adding the repo from https://rpms.remirepo.net/ (I used the one for Fedora 26). Then just installing it using:
sudo dnf --enablerepo=remi install librdkafka-devel

How to compile Qt 5.2 from git on OS X Mavericks

I cloned the QT source repo and checked out branch stable.
Then I followed this manual http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git until I got to the point I have to do ./configure:
The test for linking against libxcb and support libraries failed!
You might need to install dependency packages, or pass -qt-xcb.
See src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README.
and when I enter ./configure -qt-xcb:
Running configuration tests...
The test for linking against Xlib failed!
You might need to install dependency packages.
See src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README.
Now I'm stuck. I couldn't find out what Xlib is, where I can find it or how to install it. Any help is greatly appreciated!
add -no-xcb to configure params
You need to install XQuartz.

Xlib.h not found when building graphviz on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)

When using homebrew to install graphviz, the script gets to the point of "Making install in tkstubs" and then throws the following fatal error:
In file included from tkStubLib.c:15:
/usr/include/tk.h:78:11: fatal error: 'X11/Xlib.h' file not found
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
I have installed XQuartz as X11 has been dropped in Mountain Lion, but I'm unsure if it is installed correctly. The location of Xlib.h is:
/opt/X11/include/X11/Xlib.h
There are also two symlinks to /opt/X11, they are:
/usr/X11
/usr/X11R6
Does this look like the correct setup to you? I've never dealt with X11 or XQuartz until yesterday.
Cheers.
After installing XQuartz you may add a symlink to your X11 installation folder by just entering
ln -s /opt/X11/include/X11 /usr/local/include/X11
in terminal. That will fix the problem as well without changing any ruby script.
You need to tell the tkstubs build (and possibly other bits in the package as well) to look for headers in /opt/X11/include; this is not on the standard include path.
Usually this is achieved by passing -I/opt/X11/include as an additional compiler flag, the method to do so is however dependent on the build system.
For reasonably modern configure scripts, the best approach is to pass it in the environment variable CPPFLAGS; if the package uses another build system or this doesn't work for another reason, then you need to look at the Makefile in the build directory.
You can enter in your shell before the compile/link (or brew) command:
export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include
The export line will tell the compile/linker to look in /opt/X11/include for the X11 include files
Had the same issue and running this command on terminal
xcode-select --install
worked for me. Run this command after installing xQuartz.
If you need this to work in your CMake builds:
if(APPLE)
include_directories(AFTER "/opt/X11/include")
endif()
That worked well for me.
I got it to install by copying the x11 header file directory to the /opt/local/include directory. Probably not the best way to work around it but quick and easy.
I found this thread while trying to compile ffmpeg from source on OS X. I needed --enable-x11grab and the homebrew build does not support this option.
I had XQuartz installed already but I kept getting errors from ./configure: ERROR: Xlib not found. I thought the answers here would solve my problem, but they did not!
So, if anyone is ever in the same boat, my solution was this:
I opened up the generated config.log and found lots of errors referring to various includes and header files, including X11/Xlib.h - this is misleading. At the very bottom of the logfile was the key, pkg-config was complaining about looking for xbc.pc, and requested that it be put on the path. However, the error message that is displayed on the terminal says nothing about pkg-config or xbc!
The solution is to add to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. Mine was nonexistent, so I just did export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig/ (the folder where I found xbc.pc).
I reran configure and everything worked like a charm!
TL;DR: check config.log - don't trust the terminal output!
Since the make file is looking for X11/xlib.h i.e., it is looking for X11 folder in the current directory, one way to solve this problem is to simply copy the /opt/X11/include/X11 directory to the directory that contains make file.

How can I install gcc-libc6-dev in opensolaris?

when I am doing ./configure in opensolaris in an attempt to install software. I've got the following error:
error:C compiler cannot create executables
Then I check up on the net and find its due to a missing module call gcc-lib6-dev. But how can I install it?
Sounds like you found an answer for a completely different OS that doesn't apply to opensolaris (lib6 sounds like an old Linux release). Look in the generated config.log
for more detailed error messages that give better information as to the actual problem.
