cmake build failed on macos catalina 10.15

Question

I have recently installed macos catalina with Xcode 11.1 and updated cmake, clang and llvm

sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
xcode-select --install

$ cmake --version
cmake version 3.15.4

$ which cmake
/usr/local/bin/cmake

$ clang --version
Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.8)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.0.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

$ which clang
/usr/bin/clang

The CMakeLists.txt looks as bellow:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)

project("ROZZETA" VERSION 0.0.1 LANGUAGES C)

# Allow us to import cmake scripts from  ./cmake
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
set(CMAKE_C_EXTENSIONS OFF)
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}")
# Compiler flags
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /usr/bin/clang CACHE PATH "")

find_package(GMP REQUIRED)
add_executable(Rozzeta main.c)
target_link_libraries(Rozzeta gmp libgmp libgmp.a)

cmake detected gmp successfully :

/usr/local/bin/cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=c++ -G "CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles" /<path to project>

I have compiled manually with:

cc main.c -lgmp

Anyone can help me with this ? Many thanks in advance

It was very frustrating for me! I am personally using CLion from jetbrains, while tried to build old codes written in C/C++, it's giving me error because MacOS 10.15, Catalina removed the C headers pkg used to be in Mojave. So, found another way around and tried.

If you have installed XCode 11.1, then open the terminal and run the following command:

xcode-select --install

then,

sudo ln -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/* /usr/local/include/

Now, you are good to go. Try to build using cmake.
