So I can rely on the build system capturing the resolved path to bison during configure, like it would for CXX/CXXFLAGS?

I am passing in directories to resolve the fonts, for example (say --with-texgyre-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/texlive/58837_1/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/) There's quite a few to specify linkage behaviour that I did find though. Can't say that I fully understand why we need both URW and Gyre fonts, I might ask Werner at some point. > > (I also need to repoint flex and maybe gettext, gettext is strange) > > Not sure, flex should be sufficient on macOS > It is. This was me misreading my notes. Sorry for the mixup. Texinfo seems like it'll need some love (mac seems to have 4.8 and we need 6.1 if I read the docs right), I'll try the same $(brew --prefix texinfo)/bin into PATH like you suggested for bison Guile also seems awkward: checking for guile-2.2 >= 2.2.0... no <... snip ...> checking for guile... guile checking guile version... 3.0.8 (FWIW I have both 2.2.7 and 3.0.8 installed: % ll /usr/local/opt/guile* lrwxr-xr-x 1 xxxxx xxxxx 21 Feb 27 18:37 /usr/local/opt/guile -> ../Cellar/guile/3.0.8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 xxxxx xxxxx 25 Jan 16 18:18 /usr/local/opt/guile@2 -> ../Cellar/guile@2/2.2.7_1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 xxxxx xxxxx 21 Feb 27 18:37 /usr/local/opt/guile@3 -> ../Cellar/guile/3.0.8 ) Where is the testing/detection for Guile set up, roughly?
