Hi,

configure fails on MacOs Monterey with:
checking for libcurl... configure: error: libcurl (>=7.71.0) support requested, but libcurl (>=7.71.0) was not found.
However:

which curl                                
/usr/bin/curl

% curl --version             
curl 8.1.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin21.0) libcurl/8.1.2 (SecureTransport) LibreSSL/3.3.6 zlib/1.2.11 nghttp2/1.45.1
Release-Date: 2023-05-30

r44,744 , MacOs Monterey 12.7.1

I suspect it searches only /usr/local/bin ?

Best regards,
Goran

it wants libcurl, not curl...no idea if that is installed by default on macOS

In any case, you can try --without-libcurl for the time being - we are working on it :)

Thanks,

There is a libcurl.dylib as a part of curl 8.4.0 package installed via brew:
/usr/local/Cellar/curl/8.4.0/lib/
libcurl.4.dylib
libcurl.a
libcurl.dylib -> libcurl.4.dylib

configure is working with --without-libcurl, but after make I get a lot of:

generating html documentation... *** unknown texi style: xref at ./texi2html line

and make bindist:

bundling VICE.app: [dirs] [common ROMs] [manual] cp: doc/vice.pdf: No such file or directory make: *** [bindist] Error 1

so the lib is there but configure does not see it... ok

@dqh has to look at this, and the broken bindist :)

bindist requiring vice.pdf is fixed in r44747

@goran - looks like you are using Homebrew on Intel, is that correct? Do you have pkg-config installed?

  Yes, homebrew on intel.
  
  pkg-config --version 0.29.2 which pkg-config /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
  
  With r44747: ./configure... doesn't give libcurl error, there are * unknown texi style: xref at ./texi2html...* errors, bindist works.
  
  Thanks!

So, what's the status of this? Sounds like something to fix before the release coming up very soon?
