meson linker error when adding dependency - c++

Question

I am trying to switch to meson and evaluate. I setup a small project and created this meson.build file
project('utils', 'cpp')
json_dep = dependency('jsoncpp')
boost_dep = dependency('boost', modules : [ 'filesystem' ])
occ_dep = dependency('OpenCASCADE', method: 'cmake')
utils_deps = [ occ_dep, json_dep, boost_dep ]
utils_lib = library('utils', dependencies: utils_deps)
If I use utils_deps = [ json_dep, boost_dep ] then the compilation works. However adding occ_dep to the list and compiling produces the following error

I am working on a Macbook Pro M1 cheap.

Answer 1

it seems that in the linking file it search a file instead of Library
/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework
your dependency against OpenCascade uses cmake method, try to specify also the lib needed using modules method
occ_dep = dependency('OpenCASCADE', method: 'cmake', modules : ['openCascade lib ......'])
