[bashu]

I got this on os x 10.6.8 :

We no longer allow formulae with hard X11 dependencies in the core repository. Can the X11 dependency be made optional? What options are you building giflib with?

[bashu]

got error with depends_on :x11 => :optional

$ brew install giflib

here is modified formula

require 'formula'

class Giflib < Formula
  desc "GIF library using patented LZW algorithm"
  homepage 'http://giflib.sourceforge.net/'
  # 4.2.0 has breaking API changes; don't update until
  # things in $(brew uses giflib) are compatible
  url 'https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/giflib/giflib-4.x/giflib-4.2.3.tar.bz2'
  sha256 '0ac8d56726f77c8bc9648c93bbb4d6185d32b15ba7bdb702415990f96f3cb766'

  bottle do
    cellar :any
    sha256 "d51319dcc61c11386ffb963a7d0b3c9c7d4e5d62beb6b863aba9691f56df9132" => :yosemite
    sha256 "bc2e9f9f053b82868f5e3a83be6c8f700141580f3f8b47fa58459721846a6cb2" => :mavericks

  end

  depends_on :x11 => :optional

  option :universal

  def install
    ENV.universal_binary if build.universal?
    system "./configure", "--prefix=#{prefix}", "--disable-debug", "--disable-dependency-tracking"
    system "make install"
  end
end

Note: works with depends_on :x11

Thanks! Could you also post brew gist-logs giflib?

Wondering if this is a compiler problem rather than a formula problem, to be honest. Any thoughts @mistydemeo?

[gm6]

10.7.5 here. Same problem, any progress?

[russelldavies]

Having the same problem in 10.7.5. I've tried changing the compiler by setting the HOMEBREW_CC env var to clang then gcc-4.2 but still fails.

[gm6]

Moved to MacPorts already. The problem is gone. In addition, MacPorts allows installing TexLive.

This problem should be resolved by #42921. Feel free to test it locally.
