MacOS build failed due to Boost

[abrilevskiy]

Could you please help me resolve a build issue under MacOS (ARM):

CMake Error at /opt/homebrew/lib/cmake/Boost-1.89.0/BoostConfig.cmake:141 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "boost_system"
  (requested version 1.89.0) with any of the following names:

    boost_systemConfig.cmake
    boost_system-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "boost_system" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "boost_system_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "boost_system" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /opt/homebrew/lib/cmake/Boost-1.89.0/BoostConfig.cmake:262 (boost_find_component)
  CMakeLists.txt:202 (find_package)

Faced the same issue.

brew remove boost
brew install boost@1.85
add "-D Boost_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/boost@1.85/1.85.0_3/lib/cmake/Boost-1.85.0" to your cmake command

Do not install libsigrok and libsigrokdecode via brew. Build both from source. Build libserial from source as well.
Use make install and start pulseview from the terminal.

Thanks @OLFDB, after running those brew commands, I was able to build pulseview by adding that path using an environment variable when building with https://github.com/sigrokproject/sigrok-util/blob/master/cross-compile/macosx/sigrok-native-macosx like so:

Boost_DIR=$(brew --prefix boost@1.85)/lib/cmake/Boost-1.85.0/ ./sigrok-native-macosx

[vvv]

There is another solution that does not require downgrading boost.

1. Patch CMakeLists.txt:

diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt
index 8580fa8e..e0520e0f 100644
--- a/CMakeLists.txt
+++ b/CMakeLists.txt
@@ -183,7 +183,7 @@ else()
 	set(QT_LIBRARIES Qt6::Gui Qt6::Widgets Qt6::Svg)
 endif()
 
-set(BOOSTCOMPS filesystem serialization system)
+set(BOOSTCOMPS filesystem serialization)
 if(ENABLE_TESTS)
 	list(APPEND BOOSTCOMPS unit_test_framework)
 endif()

2. Run cmake like this:

cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix boost) .

system component has been removed in boost-1.89.0.
