We do depend on autoconf 🤔 What does brew info autoconf print? If it's not installed, can you try manually installing it using brew install autoconf and then giving Emacs+ another try?

[realfirst]

i have installed autoconf before emacs-plus building action.

[sugitach]

I ran into a similar problem with emacs-plus@28. In my case (still compiling) I ran brew reinstall autoconf and the autoconf error shown at the beginning is no longer there!

[rhstanton]

I had the same problem, and reinstalling autoconf did indeed get things to start compiling. But not to completion... The next error is this one. Note that I've tried reinstalling libgccjit and this doesn't help:

The nuclear option - uninstalling and reinstalling Homebrew from scratch - solved this problem. I know I've had to do this at least once before with libgccjit problems.
