C-Compiler error on macOS
When trying to build Verovio from the sources and you’ve updated the system and the repository, but the CMake file was created a while ago, it might have gone out-of-sync and needs to be regenerated. You might see an error message like:
-- The C compiler identification is AppleClang 14.0.0.14000029
-- The CXX compiler identification is AppleClang 14.0.0.14000029
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - failed
-- Check for working C compiler: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc
-- Check for working C compiler: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc - broken
CMake Error at /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.25.1/share/cmake/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:70 (message):
The C compiler

Solution
Delete the tools/CMakeFiles directory before installing it from sources.
