Unable to find Notmuch library

[CaptainQuirk]

I'm on MacOS X 10.9.15

I downloaded the repo's zip file.
I had a couple issues to launch the ./prepare script : I had to unlink and relink some homebrew formulas (autoconf, automake and libtool).

I had not seen that the --enable-notmuch support flag had to be added.

I run

./prepare  --enable-notmuch

I get

Some part of the preparation process failed.
Please refer to doc/devel-notes.txt for details.```

I installed notmuch 0.19 with homebrew. I haven't found any libnotmuch library available for MacOSX.

Thanks in advance

configure: error: Unable to find Notmuch library

[CaptainQuirk]

Hi,

I guess the problem is that installing notmuch with homebrew will install libnotmuch but maybe in a place where it cannot be found inside both prepare and configure scripts.
I have utterly no idea on how to fix this ...

Any clue on what could go wrong ?

[beisenbraun]

I have a Homebrew recipe for mutt-kz that you can try:

https://github.com/bpeisenbraun/homebrew-misc

It's only lightly tested as I mostly read email on Linux, but it compiles and open mailboxes and the rest.

[CaptainQuirk]

@beisenbraun, Well it seems to be working like mutt did. I had not tried notmuch anyway, so I'll get back to you if anything goes wrong.

By the way, you have an apple on your face !
