brew install mu --HEAD cannot run autoreconf

I've successfully installed mu --HEAD several times before, keeping up-to-date with the latest git version. Today, however, the usual steps:

brew uninstall mu
brew install mu --with-emacs --HEAD

failed with the error:

Failed executing: autoreconf -ivf (mu.rb:48)

As the output from brew doctor in the gist shows, I have several unbrewed dylib, la and pc files in /usr/local, and an unlinked Emacs brew. These are related to a manual installation of Emacs containing a number of patches for OS X that I rely on (see ftp://ftp.math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp/emacs/). They have not caused any problems for installing mu --HEAD so far, so I'm not sure they're causing any trouble now.

Thanks,

Joost

I still have the same problem: :-(

New fix pushed, brew update and try again.

autoconf now finishes without problems, but mu4e isn't compiled/installed anymore... That is,

brew install mu --with-emacs --HEAD

installs mu but not mu4e...

Normally, mu4e should be included automatically, you have to pass --disable-mu4e to not get it.

running the following in ~/Library/Cache/Homebrew/mu--HEAD

./configure --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/mu/HEAD --with-gui=none

make

sudo make install

and then

brew unlink mu

brew link mu

gives me mu with mu4e.
