Hi Matthias,
I build QGIS dependencies mostly from source. I don't use homebrew or
macports. When I started, fink was popular and very useful for the first
few months. Once I became familiar with Unix-style tools however,
building directly from source was less problematic than dealing with the
external issues in package managers.
Currently, I install Qt binaries and Kyngchaos frameworks and use
configure/make for everything else. I can document the steps. I haven't
in the past because people asking for mac builds have said they are not
developers.
After review of my build process, we can determine if it can be automated.

Hi Tom,
Sorry to hear that. In the past we had macOS continuous integration
tests in place but had to disable them, because the package manager used
there (homebrew) was breaking dependencies unpredictably (I don't think
that's unexpected news for you if you are building on mac though ;) )
There is no "verification machine" on linux, but there is a docker
image. However I am not sure how easy it is to modify this image put
headers in different folders and make all the executables (xxx-config)
return the modified paths - while keeping the infrastructure maintainable.
Alternatively, I would very much like to get the mac builds back up and
running. I don't think we can do this again with the upstream homebrew
repo since we don't want our pull requests flagged erroneous for
external problems. The best alternative I see is, that we need a curated
list of formulae in a separate repository, which would not only help the
testing but potentially also the release process. Would you be
interested in taking a lead on this?
Best regards
Matthias

Hi all,
Both yesterday and today, the macOS build failed due to missing CMake
INCLUDE specifications.
MacOS puts each framework in a separate directory while Linux merges
everything into /usr/local. Thus, Linux commits will compile when a
new dependency is added as long as some other dependency already
specifies /usr/local.
Here is an idea that would help macOS build compatibility. Place each
dependency on the verification build machine in a separate directory
such as
/usr/local/gdal-2.2.3/
/usr/local/geos-3.6.1/
This would make commits fail upfront on Linux if CMake INCLUDES needed
by macOS were missing.
