Build for Apple Silicon

[sdmaclea]

dotnet/runtime#49111 notes a .NET Core dependency on libgdiplus.

I was able to get a build completed by

# Install commandline tools
xcode-select --install

# Install dependencies
brew update
brew upgrade
brew install
brew install glib cairo libexif libjpeg giflib libtiff autoconf libtool automake pango pkg-config
brew link gettext --force

Apply patch to work around autogen.sh not finding libpng16

Thanks @sdmaclea -- @akoeplinger @directhex what should we do to get a libgdiplus for Apple Silicon published to homebrew?

Here's the log of the test failures: test-suite.log

• testbitmap - missing libjpeg dependency (seen as JPEG: no (Get it from http://freshmeat.net/projects/libjpeg) in configure)
• testgifcodec - missing libgif (GIF: no (See http://sourceforge.net/projects/libgif))

There seems to be more issues with locating the dependent libraries:

checking for jpeg_destroy_decompress in -ljpeg... no

I did not know what to put for the --prefix flag so I left it blank, does that matter? Some tests failed similar to @filipnavara After following instructions libgdiplus still does not work. In the code which uses it I still get error message "The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception." Any ideas? I also get lots of warnings like this during the make

Hello I try to compile libgdiplus for macOS arm64 (using this way to put into a nuget package : https://github.com/Whiletru3/libgdiplus-packaging ) and it should be the version 6.0.5. I tried this way but I get this error :

 CC       testjpegcodec.o
testjpegcodec.c:24:10: fatal error: 'jpeglib.h' file not found
#include <jpeglib.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~

libjpeg is installed with brew (in /opt/homebrew/... )

Do you have an idea on how to fix this ? Thanks

FWIW, I managed to enable JPEG support by running ./autogen.sh with LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/jpeg/include"
