Can't build on OS X (arm)

[isaacl]

Not sure if this requires homebrew berkeley-db. In any case, I do have that package installed, but this doesn't help

export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/berkeley-db/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/berkeley-db/include"

cpan output

You do indeed need either homebrew or some other way of getting a copy of the Berkeley DB library onto your setup. If you look at my MacOS GitHub workflow for this module, here, you will see that I use homebrew to get berkeley db.

Apart from that it just works for me - no need to set any environment variables at all

Looking at your build it looks line the code has found the db.h include file. So you are part of the way there.

Try exporting the environment variable DB_FILE_LIB with value /opt/homebrew/opt/berkeley-db/lib

If that doesn't work can you check what the name of the berkeley db library was installed as

Setting DB_FILE_LIB worked!

(I did see that var in the build file, but I thought you'd want to know the build is potentially broken for others)

Brilliant

Yep. The install documentation needs a bit of an overhaul.
