ScummVM refuses to add Glk games, doesn't say why

Description

Following the note here https://www.scummvm.org/news/20200622 I downloaded the Jun 22 osx_x64-master-a63c614f build on macOS 10.15.5.

I also downloaded Spider and Web from http://mirror.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/Tangle.z5

I opened ScummVM and clicked "add game" but it refused to let me add Tangle.z5. When I put Tangle.z5 in a folder by itself and tried to add that folder, it said, "ScummVM could not find any game in the specified directory!"

I'm guessing this is a documentation issue, but I furthermore claim that error handling should improve, to make it easier to understand how to add Glk games.

Thank you for the report. I just checked, and the Glk engine is not enabled in the 64 bits macOS daily build (it is missing a dependency that is required for this engine). I will try to fix that today or tomorrow.

The daily build on buildbot was not finding the freetype library. The library was present, but not configured properly. I think it should be fixed, but I will keep this open until tomorrow once we can check the next daily build.

Note that the same issue was also causing the Ultima, ZVision, and Petka engines to be disabled.

It looks like the new macOS 64 bit daily build includes the Glk engine (as well as the ones for Ultima, ZVision, and Petka). Can you check it works properly?
