fribidi fails to build due to nm

[rmottola (Riccardo)]

On 10.5 Leopard (strangely only on x86_64 perhaps on i386 I did not have this yet?) fails due to old bm.

The typical fix of:

if {${os.platform} eq "darwin" && ${os.major} < 10} {
    depends_build-append port:cctools
    configure.env-append NM=${prefix}/bin/nm
    configure.args-append lt_cv_path_NM=${prefix}/bin/nm
}

but to work it needs to be put at the end, after

configure.args  --enable-static \
                --disable-silent-rules

I tried adding:

if {${os.platform} eq "darwin" && ${os.major} < 10} {
    depends_build-append port:cctools
    configure.env-append NM=${prefix}/bin/nm
    configure.args-append lt_cv_path_NM=${prefix}/bin/nm
}

However, I get this strange error:

it is using MP meson.. what's really wrong?

This:

lt_cv_path_NM=/opt/local/bin/nm

is not recognized by meson.

I'm not sure if it is still needed at all, but if so, it will have to be an environment variable, not a configure argument.
