Can't build fluidsynth on macos ventura 13.5.2

[bclark288]

I'm trying to build fluidsynth on macos ventura 13.5.2. The cmake command fails with the following error

CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:290 (add_library):
Target "libfluidsynth" links to target "MPG123::libmpg123" but the target
was not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED
target, or an ALIAS target is missing?

libmgp123 is installed at /usr/local/lib/libmpg123.0.dylib
Any ideas on how to proceed?

1. Which version of fluidsynth are you trying to build?
2. Delete and re-create the build directory to get a clean build.
3. Then, post the full output of CMake's console log, as well as the CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log files.
4. Fluidsynth itself does not depend on mpg123, but libsndfile may. To confirm that the error is coming from there, run cmake again with the -Denable-libsndfile=0 flag, and the build should succeed.

That did the trick! Thanks for the quick (and accurate) response.
