hyperkit: A full installation of Xcode.app 9.0 is required to compile
this software. Installing just the Command Line Tools is not sufficient.

Xcode can be installed from the App Store.
Error: hyperkit: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

Env macOS Big Sur version 11.6

This is pretty standard behavior for brew, it'll ask for you to install XCode for many other packages, for example dotnet. Not something caused by Hyperkit.

Fwiw, you can just install Xcode tools. It’s much smaller than Xcode. You can use xcode-select to install it.
