ERROR: Dependency "appleframeworks" not found

[jacobcxdev]

When running the below command as per the Wiki, I'm receiving the following error:

$ ../configure --target-list=aarch64-softmmu,x86_64-softmmu --disable-capstone --enable-lzfse --disable-werror

../meson.build:192:2: ERROR: Dependency "appleframeworks" not found, tried framework

My system is a 2021 16" MacBook Pro w/ M1 Max:

Hmmm, I'm not really sure about this. Do you have Xcode installed? If not, can you try installing command line tools?

xcode-select --install

[jacobcxdev]

Xcode is already installed, as indicated by the command output:

$ xcode-select --install
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

[TrungNguyen1909]

Hmm, can you post all of the log of configure?

[jacobcxdev]

Of course:

I felt like Procursus clang was the issue here.

[jacobcxdev]

Indeed it is. @Diatrus is this expected?

[Diatrus]

@jacobcxdev I haven't worked on Procursus in a while, but last I was involved, clang wasn't near production ready on macOS.
