Installation fails on Apple aarch64

[Mankka]

Installation of sass fails, probably due to wrong or missing header files. Installation of devtools also fails for similar dependency issues (one of them sass). Platform is

R version 4.4.2 (2024-10-31) -- "Pile of Leaves"
Copyright (C) 2024 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: aarch64-apple-darwin24.1.0

See details for first error message. I can investigate further, but I'm not very experienced in R development so I don't know where to start.

I noticed that the installation used CFLAGS="-pipe -Os -isysroot/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX15.sdk -arch arm64 " but that there was no corresponding CXXFLAGS. I am not familiar enough with the build process, so I resorted to a hack. I downloaded the source and edited the Makevars file to force it. Now everything works.

Is this an error in the package or the build process?

Can you share the output of sessioninfo::session_info()? I can't reproduce the issue and I'm on a very similar OS and hardware

I think the main issue is the absence of the isysroot for the c++ compiler, but I have no idea of why it wasn't there.
