Unable to compile on MacOS

[johannes-graner]

Describe the bug

Both the automatic release process and myself compiling locally fails with the following error:

src/third-party/imgui/imgui_freetype.cpp:38:10: fatal error: 'ft2build.h' file not found
#include <ft2build.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

which clearly indicates that libraries are not included and linked properly.

N/A

Steps to reproduce

On MacOS, run e.g. make RELEASE=1 TILES=1 SOUND=1 LOCALIZE=0 CLANG=0 and watch the compilation fail.

Expected behavior

The compilation succeeds.

Screenshots

No response

Versions and configuration

OS: MacOS Sequoia 15.0

Additional context

The following addition to Makefile made the compilation succeed:

@@ -765,6 +765,8 @@ ifeq ($(TILES), 1)
     LDFLAGS += $(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --libs freetype2)
   endif
 
+  CXXFLAGS += $(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --cflags freetype2)
+  LDFLAGS += $(shell $(PKG_CONFIG) --libs freetype2)
   DEFINES += -DTILES
 
   ifeq ($(TARGETSYSTEM),WINDOWS)

So the problem is likely that the freetype2 library is not included properly for MacOS. It should probably be quite easy to fix for someone more familiar with the makefile than me.

/duplicate of #77370. We don't have an active MacOS developer at the moment. Feel free to PR your fix

i've had to use freetype-config --cflag and --lib respectively

The solution from #77413 allowed me to complete the build. @johannes-graner thanks for the solution!
