Please download the latest version of that branch - so either in a clean
directory or in your last attempt with the previous version.
curl -O
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/subsurface/subsurface/refs/heads/dirkhh-macos-qt6/scripts/macos-ssrf-dev-start.sh
bash macos-ssrf-dev-start.sh -clean
this will delete the old builds and all the old dependencies and instead use
almost exclusively the Homebrew components.
This should work out of the box - I tested this in a clean VM with nothing
installed besides the command line tools.
If this fails for you -- which based on past experience I am 100% certain it
will, please send the build.log and the error you see
/D
