Linking error on macOS with clang: `Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_add_history"` etc. about asymptote

[johncbowman]

With commit 459e626, pkg-config should no longer be required (although it may still be helpful in automatically determining the correct configure flags to enable certain features).

[johncbowman]

You need to link with -lreadline and -lncurses.
The root of the problem is that Asymptote assumes you have a working pkg-config. We're about to drop that requirement; that should help avoid such issues.

@johncbowman Thank you, let me try add a dependency on pkgconfig, that could explain why CI failed but locally everything built fine.

[barracuda156]

@johncbowman That worked, thanks again. Closing as resolved.

@johncbowman Thank you! (I guess we can still keep it in the portfile, it is not a problematic dependency to have.)
