Windows does not use make. It doesn't make sense to mention a single Windows step, as building on Windows is much more complicated.

Follows-up 22e444c (phpGH-18670). There is currently no formula called "iconv" at https://brew.sh/ or https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/. ``` $ brew install iconv Warning: No available formula with the name "iconv". Did you mean icon or cconv? ``` There is one called libiconv, however. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/libiconv

Follows-up 22e444c (phpGH-18670). There is currently no formula called "iconv". [1][2] ``` $ brew install iconv Warning: No available formula with the name "iconv". Did you mean icon or cconv? ``` There package is called "libiconv". [3] Once installed, `./configure` still fails due to a discovery issue. ``` $ ./configure --enable-debug … checking for libiconv... no configure: error: Please specify the install prefix of iconv with --with-iconv=<DIR> ``` In 2020, as part of the switch from Intel to ARM, Homebrew adopted /opt as the standard location instead of /usr/local. [4][5] Rather than complicating the README with a mandatory `--with-iconv` path (or --without-iconv) for macOS users, improve the discovery to support Homebrew's new location. Place it after /usr/local, so that /usr/local remains the preferred place for system overrides (in case both are present). Place it before /usr, because there may be older system versions of these packages on macOS that would otherwise have precedence, making it impossible to satisfy version requirements.
