How-to-use-keg-only-outside-of-brew: * A new piece of documentation detailing how to deal with using keg_only formula outside of Brew itself. We’ve had a lot of questions and issues about this recently, and the solutions aren’t as easy and explicit to find elsewhere, so detailing it here may help reduce some of the questions we’ve seen recently. * I possibly whinged too much in the second section. I’m open to criticism and being called whiny. * Details flags, prepending the $PATH, and dealing with pkg-config. Closes Homebrew/homebrew#34608. Signed-off-by: Mike McQuaid <mike@mikemcquaid.com>
README
Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple didn’t.
Please note: Homebrew is not 1.0 yet. Generally it works well, but when it doesn’t we’d hope you report the bug. If it’s still broken at 1.0 you have our permission to throw a strop and make a big fuss.
Troubleshooting
First, please run brew update and brew doctor.
Second, please read the Troubleshooting Checklist.
If you don’t read these it will take us far longer to help you with your problem.
However! Fixing build issues is easier than you think: try
brew edit $FORMULA and see how you fare.
