Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] macOS: use iconv from Homebrew if needed and present
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2025 09:03:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <33d65e54-4f02-4167-bc4e-ec0ee36fc786@web.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <ce030c90-f635-42b5-82e1-814cd4c29505@web.de>

The library function iconv(3) supplied with macOS versions 15.7.2
(Sequoia) and 26.1 (Tahoe) is unreliable when doing conversions from
ISO-2022-JP to UTF-8 in multiple steps; t3900 reports this breakage:

  not ok 17 - ISO-2022-JP should be shown in UTF-8 now
  not ok 25 - ISO-2022-JP should be shown in UTF-8 now
  not ok 38 - commit --fixup into ISO-2022-JP from UTF-8

As a workaround, use libiconv from Homebrew, if available.  Search it in
its default locations: /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon and /usr/local
for macOS Intel, with the former taking precedence.  Respect ICONVDIR if
already set by the user, though.
