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?

[kencu (Ken)]

This:

lt_cv_path_NM=/opt/local/bin/nm

is a specific addition that works only with autotools.

now that the build uses meson instead, that part is no longer useful, and in fact, causes an error in meson when it is unrecognized.
