Re: [Gimp-developer] no recent macOS builds

[Yurii Kolesnykov <yurikoles gmail com>]

Hi Shlomi,

Thanks for suggestions, but I see that documentation is very poor and outdated. 
I had updated formula in my tap, it now installs the latest stable release,
2.10.6, But I’m still unable to install HEAD, because of appstream-glib linking
problem, Which is also in my tap (yurikoles/yurikoles/appstream-glib). 
I had reported an issue upstream [1].

In two words: meson uses `version-script` ld flag, which is available only in
GNU ld on Linux, so LLVM/(macOS, *BSD) and even GNU ld on platforms beside 
Linux is unable to build appstream-glib for now.
