Title: "Issue Generating Wheel for OpenCV on macOS"

Description: I am switching to mac and, I am trying to build OpenCV on macOS, and I encountered an issue when generating a wheel for OpenCV. Here's the context and the problem I'm facing:

Problem: When I attempt to build OpenCV from source, I get to the point where I need to generate a wheel for OpenCV. However, the build process for fails with an error. I've tried the following steps:

1. Cloned the OpenCV repository and followed the build process as outlined in the official documentation.

2. At the wheel generation step, I run the following command:

   python setup.py bdist_wheel
   

Error Message:

 Problem with the CMake installation, aborting build. CMake executable is cmake
  ----------------------------------------
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for opencv-python
Failed to build opencv-python

Expected Behavior: I expect the wheel to be generated successfully without errors.

Additional Information:

• I have already installed Xcode and Xcode Command Line Tools.
• My development environment is set up with the necessary dependencies.
• I have tried building OpenCV with both Python 3.11 and Python 3.12 with the same result.

Question: What could be causing this error during the wheel generation for OpenCV on macOS, and how can I resolve it? Are there any specific configuration or dependency requirements I might be missing?

I appreciate any guidance and suggestions to help me successfully build OpenCV on macOS. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
