Build Fails on Mac OS #51

Closed bobTheBuilder7 closed 2 years ago

bobTheBuilder7 commented 2 years ago

I have os version Mac OS Monterey 12.1, Apple M1

I am following all the build instructions, however I am getting this error CMake Error at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.22.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message): Could NOT find Curses (missing: CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH) Call Stack (most recent call first): /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.22.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:594 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.22.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindCurses.cmake:268 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS) CMakeLists.txt:120 (find_package)

Help me please to solve it))

Hi @bobTheBuilder7 Could you check the output of command brew --prefix ncurses on your system?

Assuming it is not /usr/local/opt/ncurses, could you try edit CMakeLists.txt and change this line:

set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH /usr/local/opt/ncurses)

to contain the actual path you got from brew --prefix ncurses, perhaps something like:

set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH /opt/ncurses)

I got /opt/homebrew/opt/ncurses

I changed the CMakeLists.txt, and everything worked. Thanks.

Cool, thanks for sharing. I'll see if I can update that file to dynamically detect the ncurses install path.

In the above commit I've added dynamic detection of ncurses prefix on macOS, so going forward no local changes should be needed to build on systems like yours.
