Homebrew build fails on OS X 14.4.1 (Intel)

[horvathp]

I'm trying to install openEMS using Homebrew on OS X 14.4.1, Intel i7 CPU, following the installation guide. The install gets stuck. I completely wiped the Homebrew installation and tried again, to the same result.

Is there a fix for this?

brew tap thliebig/openems https://github.com/thliebig/openEMS-Project.git brew install --HEAD openems

Pinning HDF5 to 1.10 (and also installing python-setuptools) seems to work.

This is apparently a bug in CMake: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/25358 and has been documented in this project to happen on FreeBSD, but seems to be happening on macOS now too.

Removing the HDF5 1.8 version requirement from the CMakeLists.txt in openEMS, CSXCAD, and AppCSXCAD allows the build to continue with HDF5 version 1.14.3. If the minimum version number is left in there, it only works if it matches the currently installed version of HDF5: find_package(HDF5 1.14 COMPONENTS C HL REQUIRED)

Either we should wait for the CMake bug to be fixed, or remove the version requirement for HDF5. I doubt many people have an HDF5 version older than 1.8 nowadays given that was released 17 years ago, but regardless that seems suboptimal.
