Comment:
Yes there was a diff with HAVE_LZMA_H and not with HAVE_LIBLZMA - good catch.
My original build problem was due to HAVE_LIBINTL_H. I have now fixed up my include paths, learned that libintl.h is in the gettext package, and am back on track. Thanks.

Ticket details:
Spun off from #46342
It looks like it is possible to build a self-contained Mac app bundle with meson, using static libraries. This would allow an end user to download a zip file, un-zip it, put freeciv.app in their Applications folder, and run it without having to install homebrew and the homebrew packages. Would need a script to build it, and a MacAppREADME.txt file to include in the zip file.
The main issue is that meson.build needs to replace (at least some) calls to c_compiler.find_library() with calls to dependency().
