Struggling to compile notmuch on Mac OS Big Sur /ARM - gmime library detection

[Jonathan Wilner]

Hi all,

I'm attempting to start clean with Notmuch on a brand new m1 MacBook
Pro. I'm struggling with getting going on multiple levels, possibly
due to the early tooling for the m1/ARM libraries.

I'm particularly stuck on calling in gmime, no matter what I do with
pkg-config. I've got gmime 3.2.7 installed from Homebrew.

However - this is the error I can't get past:

"*** Error: The dependencies of notmuch could not be satisfied. You will

need to install the following packages before being able to compile

notmuch:

GMime library >= 3.0.3

(including development files such as headers)

https://github.com/jstedfast/gmime/"

Any ideas or workarounds? I believe this is also keeping me from being
able to setup the Python bindings properly in order to use lieer
(formerly gmaileer) - as I can't get the notmuch developer sources
into the right places.

Thanks!

The underlying test is

    pkg-config --exists "gmime-3.0 >= 3.0.3"

That should print nothing and (most importantly) have exit code 0
(echo $?)

I don't really know much about macOS or homebrew, but this should not be
a notmuch specific issue.

Thanks, David. It prints nothing.

FYI, I did get this working using the X86 emulation in a different/parallel setup.

Best,

Jonathan

What is the exit code? It prints nothing both for both success and failure.
