[PD-dev] how to fix m4 unrecognized --gnu option on macos?

[Federico Camara Halac]

any issues. Sorry for the noise.

cheers!

These were my steps:

sudo rm -rf
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/m4


sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/m4


brew reinstall m4


export PATH="/usr/local/opt/m4/bin:$PATH"
