id3v2 @0.1.12: /bin/sh: nroff: command not found

[sptrakesh]

I was trying to install abcde, which depends on id3v2. Installation fails due to missing nroff. I tried to install heirloom-doctools, but that also fails.

One problem per ticket, please.

[pidloop]

Just a note to say I also would like to get nroff working. I am seeing the same error. Thanks.

[markmentovai (Mark Mentovai)]

macOS 13 no longer bundles groff. nroff had been a script that emulates nroff by calling groff.

This can be fixed in the same manner as openldap at ​bcd011c764a4: add a build-time dependency on the groff port, conditionally on macOS ≥ 13.
