Issues building on MacOS 12.3.1 (Monterey)

[telmotrooper]

Version, Operative system OS: MacOS 12.3.1 (Monterey) Using code from master branch as of today (last commit was 5dc7a5f).

Describe the bug I followed to the letter the instructions provided in the README to compile the application on MacOS and got errors in the process. It seems related to gtkmm3, since I get ld: library not found for -lgtkmm-3.0 during ./build.sh.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior (copied from the README):

brew install cmake ninja pkg-config python3 adwaita-icon-theme fmt gspell gtksourceviewmm3 libxml++ spdlog uchardet curl
brew install --cask basictex
sudo tlmgr update --self
sudo tlmgr install dvipng

git clone https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree.git
cd cherrytree
git submodule update --init
./build.sh

Which returns the following output:

➜  cherrytree git:(master) ./build.sh
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
-- CT_VERSION = 0.99.47
Build tests ON, auto run ON
Using fmt, spdlog from: SHARED LIB

I do have gtkmm3 installed through Homebrew though:

➜  cherrytree git:(master) brew install gtkmm3
Warning: gtkmm3 3.24.5 is already installed and up-to-date.
To reinstall 3.24.5, run:
  brew reinstall gtkmm3

So I don't know why lddoes not find it, I already tried reinstalling gtkmm3 but it didn't help.

I cannot reproduce even though my Monterey hasn't the very latest updates, I'll try to upgrade later. It happened to me in the past to have issues rebuilding after a "brew update"; I had to:

1. close and open a new terminal
2. "git clean -dfx" to remove all previous build files
3. now ./build.sh Then it worked, try this too
