Unable to build on macOS 10.14 (Mojave)

I get the following error when running the first step/cmake on macOS 10.14. Any ideas what may be wrong. I don't have XCode installed, so if that's a dependency I'd be glad to install it.

I use Nix package manager; this may have something to do with that.

$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local $PWD
CMake Error at /nix/store/fhp2mjmbhkjsn3czhd0y8fphs83xxnq1-cmake-3.19.1/share/cmake-3.19/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:218 (message):

Hi,

As far as I can tell, CMake is unable to find libpam, which is a system library and found at /usr/lib/libpam.dylib as far as I know, though it might be that Nix hides these.

On the other hand, on Big Sur, libpam and its headers are provided by Xcode, so you might also check if installing Xcode resolves your issues.

I stumbled upon this as well, and found a solution, although I don't think it will work for long.
@gurjeet did you solve this?

I did through the following modifications:

  • Found the libpam.dylib in my nix store at /nix/store/8pcyfg4vg2gb6910gwv63khis4g4vr00-openpam-20170430/lib
  • Modified cmake/Modules/FindPAM.cmake find_path and find_library, adding HINTS /nix/store/8pcyfg4vg2gb6910gwv63khis4g4vr00-openpam-20170430/lib/)
  • Called cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="arm64" . (note that I set the arch to arm64 specifically, not to arm64;x86_64 as in the Readme)
  • make and sudo make install to install it.

Everything seems to work right now, but I guess as soon as nix decides to update the openpam (whatever that is), I'll need to rebuild pam_reattach as well as it is dynamically linked?

Any better approaches? I'm a beginner Nix user and never really compile C programs from scratch either 😄

Also ran into this. For Nix on Apple Silicon:

% nix-shell -p cmake -p clang -p openpam
[nix-shell]$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="arm64" .
[nix-shell]$ sudo make install
