Error building on Mac

[DraTeots]

There is an error while building on Mac. Some libraries are not found:

Build command

cmake -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/cfanelli/Desktop/projects/ESCalate/escalate/eic-smear/eic-smear-1.1.2 -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17   /Users/cfanelli/Desktop/projects/ESCalate/escalate/eic-smear/src/1.1.2&& cmake --build . -- -j 4&& cmake --build . --target install

here is a brief report of the installation error:

Just to help me narrow it down, when was the last time you had a successful build (roughly, O(days) or O(weeks)), and did you change anything in the meantime, like upgrade to Big Sur?

[DraTeots]

Well I haven't tried installing it on Mac ever. So unfortunately no prior experience. (I don't have a mac). The user is installing eicsmear for the first time

[kkauder]

Got it. Can you ask them to forward me the cmake output (from scratch; so do rm -r CMake* first, or delete the whole build directory)?

[DraTeots]

I believe this one was made from fresh.

Kolja, I'll check if I can setup/find macos to VM and check it bringing more details

[kkauder]

Thank you. As it is, my only clue is the -pie warning - that flag isn't generated on my (older) mac.

Otherwise, the cmake output and the failing command from

make VERBOSE=1

would be a way for me to look further.

The error appears in the dictionary creation, so please also let me know what ROOT version they're using. Those macros have changed quite a bit over the last few versions. I thought I captured all options, but maybe there's something new again.

VMS with macs are not straight forward))) Will be coming up with something tomorrow then.
