The commit do not add an include, require or other dependence. Maybe it is require from other formula?

here's another person on the freecad forum documenting the issue similar to what i ran into.

The Base/Reader.cpp has long been included exerces-c. From this point of view must search therefore one completely other starting point. E.g. changes from cmake version.

does not seem to be issue anymore.

closing now. if i run into this issue down the road i'll open another issue.
