Brew must have changend the options syntax. In earlier brew versions it worked. I just couldn`t find the right syntax in the help or docs. Maybe you have more luck?! Am Mi., 3. Apr. 2019, 06:00 hat Yun Wang <[email protected]> geschrieben:

also seeing:

not sure how to resolve this

Very much a hacky workaround, but it worked for me. It seems that the --with-imlib2 options was removed in the latest version of the formula, so I looked up what it looked like in the previous version and found this part

  option 'with-imlib2', 'Build with Imlib2 support'

  depends_on :x11 if build.with? "imlib2"

  if build.with? "imlib2"
    depends_on 'pkg-config' => :build
    depends_on 'imlib2' => :optional
  end

I ran brew edit libcaca and added that above the head do part (minus depends_on 'pkg-config' => :build as that's already in the formula), saved it and then brew install libcaca --with-imlib2.

Voila, it works.

libcaca now includes imlib2 1.7.0 as a dependency without a flag.
