Mac executable is not statically linked

I'm only filing this because the README states that they are:

$ faq
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/jq/lib/libjq.1.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/aat/Library/Caches/hermit/pkg/faq-0.0.7/faq

Indeed, it doesn't work at all even though I have jq installed via brew:

I tried linking the library forcefully, but the architectures aren't compatible:

Ran into the same issue:

dyld[17317]: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/jq/lib/libjq.1.dylib

[2]    17317 abort      faq -h

Root cause is that on newer macs (like the M1, M2 ones), homebrew is not installed under /usr/local but under /opt/homebrew. The formula should respect that.

[reegnz]

Huh, formula is pretty basic: https://github.com/jzelinskie/homebrew-faq/blob/master/Formula/faq.rb

So I guess the problem is not how the formula passes the libjq dependency, but that it doesn't pass it at all! Because faq is not built by homebrew so it can pass the prefix, but instead built by github actions assuming libjq is always found under /usr/local, and the build binary is pulled from the repo.

I think the fix should probably be to have the Formula build the binary instead of downloading the binary from github.

[reegnz]

Pushed a fix for the homebrew formula to build from source instead of fetching pre-built binaries with faulty dynamic linking.
