Unable to install cmake on macOS Sonoma

[sacredbanana (Cameron Armstrong (Nightfox))]

I have done a clean and then did a fresh install of Macports on my macOS Sonoma M1 MacBook Pro.

When I try to install cmake with Macports

sudo port install cmake

it fails with the error:

Error: Failed to configure cmake: consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_cmake/cmake/work/cmake-3.24.4-arm64/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log

The log it references says the following:

cmake and cmake-devel build and install without issue on an arm64 mac running Sonoma.

please include your full log therefore so someone might help you.

The most common issue we’re seeing on Sonoma at present is people update to Sonoma, update Xcode, but forget to update the command line tools. So you might check that.

[sacredbanana (Cameron Armstrong (Nightfox))]

I have the latest Xcode, and command line tools are updated too.

I checked by running xcode-select --install and also softwareupdate -l to list any updates and there are none

The full log of the install is:

You need to attach the full log file

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_cmake/cmake/main.log

From a clean build attempt. Without it we cannot help.

That does not necessarily mean your CLT are up to date. See ProblemHotlist#reinstall-clt.

Your problem is you are mixing homebrew with macports. Check your log more carefully and you will see

:info:configure CMake Error at /opt/homebrew/lib/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfig.cmake:14 (message):
1262	:info:configure   The imported target "Qt5::Core" references the file
1263	:info:configure      "/opt/homebrew/.//mkspecs/macx-clang"
1264	:info:configure   but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:
1265	:info:configure   * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.
1266	:info:configure   * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.
1267	:info:configure   * The installation package was faulty and contained
1268	:info:configure      "/opt/homebrew/lib/cmake/Qt5Core/Qt5CoreConfigExtras.cmake"

You must have something in your environment that is causing /opt/homebrew to be found and used. Remove this.

From the Macports side, we do not support or recommend mixing homebrew and macports as you are doing above.

[sacredbanana (Cameron Armstrong (Nightfox))]

ah cool thanks ill clean out the homebrew cmake packages

[sacredbanana (Cameron Armstrong (Nightfox))]

ok I didn't realise I still had an old cmake installed via homebrew. Issue now fixed. Thanks all

[kencu (Ken)]

BTW, I have already patched cmake-devel to prevent this opportunistic pickup of files from /opt/homebrew from happening, but not the cmake port, which is about to be updated.

It’s unfortunately hard-coded into cmake to look there first.
