Missing character sets during various make installs of brew Emacs

[Vvkmnn]

Observed behavior

Been testing doom make on a bunch of emacs builds to see what works with software like chunkwm, and discovered the following errors on this formulae:

Expected behavior

This looks more like the fault of the guy's build leaving some extra stuff in the path, but I'm not smart enough to figure out how to sidestep it or clean it up. Maybe there's a way to find the charsets dependency locally?

Steps to reproduce

• emacs-mac-spacemacs-icon

Cask of a Macport buid, best compatability, won't play nice with Doom:

~/.emacs.d remotes/origin/develop~1
$  make

• emacs-mac-spacemacs-icon-snapshot

Similar issue, more Arch-y flavor.

• emacs

Smoothest install by far, with added default open into GUI from CLI with emacs and emacsclient.

• emacs-plus

Same as above but no CLI, but with better decoration.

Everything seems fine, happy Emacs’ing!

I got the charset error as well on railwaycat emacsmacport. To get rid of it I had to install the normal version instead of cask version. But it still didn't play well with doom-emacs.

The best is emacs-plus at the moment I think. But mouse-over in chunkwm wont work(well it works if you move the mouse very slowly over the edges of emacs) with emacs-plus.

I believe this is a known issue upstream: railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport#21

[hlissner]

It appears the issue has been resolved upstream. Let me know if that isn't the case and I'll reopen this issue.
