I ran into this the other day. This because more recent versions of CubicSDR depend on the wxWidgets (wxmac) development release (currently 3.1.2), and not the stable 3.0.4 that's in homebrew-core.

Because Homebrew doesn't allow dev releases in homebrew-core There's not any one fool-proof fix. All of these ones have tradeoffs:

• brew install wxwidgets --HEAD before rebuilding Cubic
• Making a custom non-Homebrew build of wxWidgets 3.1.2
• Making a custom Homebrew formular for wxWidgets 3.1.2 and hoping you don't run into file conflicts down the line
• Editing the CubicSDR formula here to include some kind of custom steps to automatically fetch and build wxWidgets 3.1.2 and incorporate it into the build process.

So far I've chosen to build wxwidgets and Cubic both outside of Homebrew, but leave the other dependencies in homebrew. Again not the best, but I can get a packaged application that way at least. But even that has its problems to work around.
