cmake - Building ART photo editing software on macOS

Question

I've recently discovered this open source photo management software forked from Rawtherapee and really wanted to try a newer version than the old one that can be downloaded from the project's homepage.

So I cloned the repository on my macOS 14.14.6 running MacBook and tried to build it a few times:

The first time I simply ran it without options ($ ./build-art) and this is the output.

It fails telling me:

/usr/local/Cellar/exiv2/0.27.3/include/exiv2/ssh.hpp:27:10: fatal error: 
      'libssh/libssh.h' file not found
#include <libssh/libssh.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The second time I’ve tried running build-art again but this time adding include paths to the compiler as libssh is not linked to the system by brew as it’s already distributed with macOS itself.

CXXFLAGS=-isystem /usr/local/Cellar/libssh/0.9.5/include -isystem /usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-v ./build-art

This time I managed to build it completely (although with lots of warnings, check the ouput here) but unfortunately I can’t get it to link as it keeps telling me ld: library not found for -ltiff. Libtiff is actually installed, and it’s also identified before beginning the building process so I don’t really know how to overcome the problem.

The third time I tried to overcome the problem by building adding these options:

CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/ld CXXFLAGS=-isystem /usr/local/Cellar/libssh/0.9.5/include -isystem /usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L /usr/local/Cellar/libtiff/4.2.0/lib -rpath /usr/local/Cellar/libtiff/4.2.0/lib /usr/local/Cellar/libtiff/4.2.0/lib/libtiff.dylib -ltiff CMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ ./build-art

But it still fails (here is the output), but this time telling me there are Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64.

Am I doing something wrong? I've also tried to ask the developer but he unfortunately doesn't use macOS. Here is the bug report if anyone wants to suggest anything to the developer.
