I went to compile OS Sonoma on my Mac and got this error:

Same issue as [rangelfn]. So far, I've been unable to work around it.

Running into the same issue as well. Sonoma 14.5 on Apple Silicon.

This seems to address the issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pkg-config/pkg-config/-/issues/81

Thanks for the info. I'm also running Sonoma 14.5 on Apple Silicon (M1 Air).

But no joy. I tried to make pkgconfig 0.28.

From what I gleaned from the link you provided, I tried:

CFLAGS="-Wno-int-conversion"
CXXFLAGS="-Wno-int-conversion"
./configure --with-internal-glib

Same errors as before when I tried to make.

Did I misinterpret the link? Should I try a newer pkgconfig?

Should I try to build glib separately and then try to build pkgconfig without using its internal glib?

Again, thanks!

@rangelfn

@m-bob try running the three things on the same line: CFLAGS="-Wno-int-conversion" CXXFLAGS="-Wno-int-conversion" ./configure --with-internal-glib

OMG! That worked! Thank you!
