Unable to build under macOS, taglib package missing

lorenzolamasse

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

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.
