[R-pkg-devel] Please install cmake on macOS builders

[Simon Urbanek]

Dirk,

can you be more specific, please? I suspect that it may be rather an issue in your package. All build machines have the official cmake releases installed and there are many packages that use it successfully. Here is the report on the currently installed versions. If you require more recent version, let me know.

high-sierra-x86_64$ /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake --version | head -n1
cmake version 3.17.3

big-sur-arm64$ /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake --version | head -n1
cmake version 3.19.4

mac-builder-arm64$ /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake --version | head -n1
cmake version 3.21.2

big-sur-x86_64$ /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake --version | head -n1
cmake version 3.26.0

Cheers,
Simon
