Issues with building with tree-sitter

[Alec Stewart]

So going off of the instructions in the README, there's a few things:

The branch in the README doesn't seem to exist.

I went ahead and built the master branch.

I did the following:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/commercial-emacs/tree-sitter.git
make -C tree-sitter install

And then added the following to my ~/.config/fish/config.fish file (I'm a Fish Shell user):

set -x PKG_CONFIG_PATH "/Users/alec-s/.local/share/../lib/pkgconfig"
set -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/Users/alec-s/.local/share/../lib"

As instructed after building the tree-sitter library.

I checked before hand and there's nothing in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH nor LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables. No other paths or anything.

Running the following after starting a new shell

./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local --with-tree-sitter=ifavailable --without-libsystemd --with-json=ifavailable --with-imagemagick

I see

Configured for 'x86_64-apple-darwin23.2.0'.

So commercial-emacs would be built with imagemagick and jansson, but not tree-sitter.

Is there anything else in particular that I need to do for building with tree-sitter on MacOS?

Nevermind, I removed the initially generated configure and config.status files, ran ./autogen.sh again and ran configure with just --with-treesitter without ifavailabe and I see

Does Emacs use -ltree-sitter?                           yes
