ODBC and jinterface applications disabled after installing on MacOS 13.2.1

I'm running macOS 13.2.1 and I'm trying to install asdf-erlang.

I ran all the commands in https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-erlang?tab=readme-ov-file#osx followed by asdf install erlang 26.0.2, but the installation log indicates that odbc and jinterface are disabled:

 * odbc           : ODBC library - link check failed

Erlang/OTP 26.0.2 (asdf_26.0.2) has been successfully built

Why are these applications disabled and what do I need to do to enable them? Are there other prerequisite steps that I am missing? I noticed other operating systems have steps to resolve odbc errors but I did not see any steps related to this for OSX in the README.

Some applications included in Erlang can't be compiled without external libraries already being present. You either don't have the necessary java and odbc libraries installed or you have them installed in places the Erlang build didn't think to check. If you don't need odbc and java features you don't need to worry about those apps being disabled. I've personally never used odbc and java in the 10+ years that I've been doing Erlang/Elixir (hence the poor docs).

For odbc please follow #191. I'd welcome a change documenting the odbc config needed for MacOS.

For Java I've not seen anyone commenting on it, and I've never built it on MacOS. You are welcome to contribute documentation for this as well if you like.
