[android-toolchain] Provide path to
autopoint
(#1026)
Context: https://devdiv.visualstudio.com/DevDiv/Default/_build/index?buildId=1138882&_a=summary Context: #606 (comment) We [discovered 6 months ago][0] that a mono bump was failing to build because: [0]: https://jenkins.mono-project.com/job/xamarin-android-pr-builder/966 1. The Jenkins machine building the PR has Homebrew 1.2.1 installed. 2. The Jenkins machine attempting to build the PR has never built MXE before, as MXE is only required for *full* builds in which the mono runtime has changed. 3. The MXE build failed, because `autopoint` wasn't in `$PATH`: Executing: make MXE_TARGETS="i686-w64-mingw32.static" gcc cmake zlib pthreads dlfcn-win32 mman-win32 PREFIX="/Users/builder/android-toolchain /mxe" Missing requirement: autopoint The result is a very sad panda. This *could* be fixed by force-linking the `gettext` package: $ brew link --force gettext However, this is considered to be overkill, as there may be multiple other `autopoint`s in `$PATH`. (Presumably there's *some* reason why Brew 1.2 doesn't install `autopoint` into `$PATH`...) This same issue also reappeared while attempting to build xamarin-android within VSTS, as the VSTS bots similarly haven't run `brew link --force gettext` either. Fix this issue by overriding `$PATH` when building MXE so that it contains the path to `autopoint`, as returned by: dirname $(brew list gettext | grep autopoint$)
