What am I missing regarding how to install catdoc via homebrew?
Solution 1:
Catdoc isn't available in any homebrew repository. It has never been part of the core formula repo:
MyiMac:/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula [git::master]
> git pull
Already up-to-date.
Current branch master is up to date.
MyiMac:/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula [git::master]
> git log -- ./catdoc.rb
MyiMac:/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula [git::master]
>
So you have to download, compile and install it yourself from source in homebrew.
Create a catdoc.rb with the following content:
require 'formula'
class Catdoc < Formula
url 'http://ftp.wagner.pp.ru/pub/catdoc/catdoc-0.95.tar.gz'
homepage 'http://wagner.pp.ru/~vitus/software/catdoc/'
sha256 '514a84180352b6bf367c1d2499819dfa82b60d8c45777432fa643a5ed7d80796'
def install
# catdoc configure says it respects --mandir=, but does not.
ENV['man1dir'] = man1
system "./configure --disable-debug --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=#{prefix}"
# The INSTALL file confuses make on case insensitive filesystems.
system "mv INSTALL INSTALL.txt"
system "make"
# There is a race condition in the charsets/Makefile install target. The following line solves it.
system "make -C charsets install-dirs"
system "make install"
end
end
and install it in the homebrew environment with:
brew install --build-from-source catdoc.rb
