On a vanilla M1 Pro running Sonoma 14.3.1 with Xcode 15.2 installed. Did “xcode-select --install” some time ago to be able to use “cc” from the command line to compile C programs using pre-compiled libglfw3.a / glfw3.h which has been working fine for me forever. Recently updated to glfw 3.4, no problems; apps still compile and run great.
Downloaded sources for glfw-3.4 intending to compile it from scratch, following instructions on “Compiling GLFW” page. I’ve got cmake version 3.28.3 installed courtesy of homebrew. First issue:
glfw-3.4 % cmake -S . -B build -G Xcode
– The C compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (project):
No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found.
– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Kind of odd, since I use “cc” from this very shell to make my glfw-based app with no problem. The web suggests the magic incantation:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
which I do with some trepidation, but happy results:
glfw-3.4 % cmake -S . -B build -G Xcode
– The C compiler identification is AppleClang 15.0.0.15000100

– Could NOT find Doxygen (missing: DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE)
– Documentation generation requires Doxygen 1.9.8 or later
– Configuring done (6.6s)
– Generating done (0.0s)
– Build files have been written to: /myob/glfw-3.4/build
That’s encouraging (though not sure why “Check for working C compiler” was “skipped”).
Following the “Compiling the library” section, the advice “With Linux, macOS and other forms of Unix, run make” doesn’t work, as there are no makefiles:
glfw-3.4 % cd build
build % make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
build % cd …
glfw-3.4 %
Undeterred, I’ll just try the alternate cmake advice, which results in lots of compiling and stuff, but fails at way down at CodeSign:
glfw-3.4 % cmake --build build

Any thoughts on where I went wrong? Or additional magic incantations to make CodeSign happy?
