Can't build curl with libnghttp2 on MacOs

[rruipinheiro]

I did this

Build libnghttp2 with vcpkg and brew (didn't work).
The configure run is:

./configure --prefix=... --with-openssl=.. --with-zlib=... --with-nghttp2=... --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-ldap

Result

checking for libnghttp2 options with pkg-config... found
configure: -l is -lnghttp2
configure: -I is -I...lib/pkgconfig/../../include
configure: -L is -L...lib/pkgconfig/../../lib
checking for nghttp2_session_set_local_window_size in -lnghttp2... no
...
HTTP2:            no      (--with-nghttp2, --with-hyper)

I expected the following

HTTP2: enable (--with-nghttp2, --with-hyper)

curl/libcurl version

Host - x86_64-apple-darwin20.2.0
curl - 7.78.0-DEV
OpenSSL/1.1.1
libnghttp2 - 1.44.0
zlib - 1.2.11

configure: -L is -L...lib/pkgconfig/../../lib

is this what it actually says or did you modify it? I'd expect no more than 2 dots per segment. Did you actually check the path to see if it contains the lib?

Nevermind, looks like I broke it. Discussion in #7515.

I still can't build with nghtt2p with these fixes...

@rruipinheiro are you perhaps using relative paths on the command line where you point out the locations of various paths?

[rruipinheiro]

@bagder I put this '...' in my paths to not show them but I point out to the location on the installed packages folder of vcpkg. When I tried using brew I didn't provide any path location to nghttp

[bagder]

When configure fails to do what you expected it to, for example to find the libraries you wanted it to find, then the standard next step is to open config.log in a text editor, search for the library/test that didn't go the way you expected and see what you can figure out based on that.

We've learned that this is a very effective way and reading this file often reveals details that can take you further in debugging your build/configure issue.

@bagder The pr #7515 worked for me! Thanks!
