When I try to cmake and make the project on my Macbook Pro M1 with arm64 architecture i get the following error:

Has anyone experienced something similiar?

Had same issue. Deleting --version-script link flag from lib/CMakeLists.txt fixes it.

As I understand, the reason it happens is because --version-script is a GNU linker flag, and mac linker doesn't support it.
