Let's see. FcConfigFileInfoIterGet is a fontconfig function, and it is apparently using libintl_dgettext which is a gettext function, and it is presumably undefined because the gettext library (libintl) has not been included on the link line.

You could try adding "-lintl" to configure.ldflags when you build reduce-csl and see if that helps.

If I run "pkg-config fontconfig --libs" I see "-L/opt/local/lib -lfontconfig -lfreetype" -- it doesn't mention "-lintl". If fontconfig requires libintl, then that's a bug in fontconfig's fontconfig.pc file.

It looks like you might be linking with the fontconfig static library (libfontconfig.a); if so, try linking with the dynamic library (libfontconfig.dylib) instead; maybe that solves the problem too, and if so, that would be the preferred solution. On macOS and in MacPorts we prefer dynamic linking over static linking.
