<![CDATA[Unable to build under macOS, taglib package missing]]>As the title state it, even thoug I've installed taglib using homebrew, cmake doesn't seem to find it. I'm no expert in cmake alas, and I struggle to help it finding where the installation was made (in my case /opt/homebrew/opt/taglib ).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even though I know no current macOS dev is around...
...
-- Checking for module 'taglib>=1.11.1'
-- No package 'taglib' found
CMake Error at /opt/local/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:607 (message):

Cheers !

You can run cmake with extra -D parameters to specify the location of taglib.
Configure using TAGLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS, TAGLIB_LIBRARY_DIRS and TAGLIB_LIBRARIES.

To find the include directory, look for the directory containing tag.h and use the parent directory of the "taglib" directory.
To find the library directory, look for libtag.dylib.

Something like this:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt6/lib/cmake" -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON -DUSE_BUNDLE=ON -DICU_ROOT="/usr/local/opt/icu4c" -DTAGLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS="/opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/include" -DTAGLIB_LIBRARY_DIRS="/opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/lib" -DTAGLIB_LIBRARIES="/opt/homebrew/opt/taglib/lib/libtag.dylib"

I didn't test this, modify the dirs if they are wrong.
