Erlang build error related to wxwidgets
I am on a Macbook M1 chip running Sequoia 15.7.4. I want to be able to use “observer” from Elixir. I installed wxwidgets with --enable-compat30. That installed fine and I can run wx-config as expected. When I use “asdf” to install Erlang I get the following errors:

I have tried installing different versions of Erlang built wxwidgets from source and lots of other thrashing about. I Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks.

I’ve been using GitHub - michallepicki/asdf-erlang-prebuilt-macos: Erlang plugin for asdf version manager, using Erlang builds by erlef/otp_builds for macOS for a while. Not compiling erlang in the first place.

I gave up on installing erlang through asdf because the builds broke. Now I install Erlang from homebrew and set the erlang version to system with asdf. Within asdf, make sure to install elixir versions that correspond to the OTP of the homebrew erlang. Not ideal for using asdf as intended, but observer works
