@SMillerDev I investigated the changes https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy/blob/master/cmake/vendor.cmake

csvexport requires zstd, nfd and ppqsort (as I see)
nfd is nativefiledialog-extended

wolfpld/tracy@v0.11.1...v0.12.1

https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy/blob/master/cmake/vendor.cmake

These requirements are new

CPMAddPackage(
NAME zstd

CPMAddPackage(
NAME ImGui

CPMAddPackage(
NAME nfd

CPMAddPackage(
NAME PPQSort

CPMAddPackage(
NAME wayland-protocols

But zstd was added 🤔

• depends_on "zstd"

[SMillerDev]

Yeah, somehow they forgot to make that one check for a system install. Would you mind filing an issue for that @gav2xlin ?

[gav2xlin]

@SMillerDev I doubt that this fix requires an issue

That's not difficult to fix

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FetchContent.html#variable:FETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED
I can try applying this option

[SMillerDev]

The problem here is that their CMake configuration checks for every dependency if it's on the system already. If it is not, it'll download it. Except for zstd where it does not check the system first.

Homebrew doesn't want any dependencies downloading during the install stage so it blocks that.

The fix would be for upstream to check if zstd is installed and only download it if it isn't.

[gav2xlin]

I found such workarounds in Homebrew

-DHOMEBREW_ALLOW_FETCHCONTENT=ON - allow FetchContent()
-DFETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED=ON - but disconnect external sources
-DFETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE=ALWAYS

[SMillerDev]

It should really be fixed upstream instead, because Homebrew won't be the only packager objecting to random downloads.

@SMillerDev
"It should really be fixed upstream instead, because Homebrew won't be the only packager objecting to random downloads."

I doubt they will fix it. That's not a bug. Tracy depends on CPM.cmake
https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake/blob/master/cmake/CPM.cmake

I'm not a Ruby developer. I just copied examples from Homebrew.

It was my first experiment https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/actions/runs/15774527360/job/44466317732?pr=227617

cpm_store_fetch_properties() is called there

Then, I disabled some CPM features https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/actions/runs/15775035077/job/44467668865?pr=227617

https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy/blob/master/cmake/vendor.cmake

Someone needs to add nfd, pqsort and imgui to Homebrew🤔

https://github.com/ocornut/imgui
https://github.com/GabTux/PPQSort
https://github.com/btzy/nativefiledialog-extended

My change: https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake
args += %w[ -DHOMEBREW_ALLOW_FETCHCONTENT=ON -DFETCHCONTENT_FULLY_DISCONNECTED=ON -DFETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE=ALWAYS -DCPM_USE_LOCAL_PACKAGES=ON -DCPM_DONT_UPDATE_MODULE_PATH=ON -DCPM_LOCAL_PACKAGES_ONLY=ON ]

CPM_USE_LOCAL_PACKAGES
CPM can be configured to use find_package to search for locally installed dependencies first by setting the CMake option CPM_USE_LOCAL_PACKAGES.

If the option CPM_LOCAL_PACKAGES_ONLY is set, CPM will emit an error if the dependency is not found locally. These options can also be set as environmental variables.

CPM_DONT_UPDATE_MODULE_PATH # I guess this option may be removed
By default, CPM will override any find_package commands to use the CPM downloaded version.
