Problem linking adapted CalculiX against yaml-cpp (macOS)

Dear preCICE community,

I tried to build the adapted CalculiX on macOS. I successfully built CalculiX itself, but for some bizarre reason, it complains that it cannot link with yaml-cpp.

Here’s the output of the command:

mpif90 -fopenmp -Wall -O3 -o bin/ccx_preCICE bin/ccx_2.20.o bin/ccx_2.20.a /Volumes/SourceCode/software/CalculiX/ccx_2.20/ThirdParty/SPOOLES.2.2/spooles.a /Volumes/SourceCode/software/CalculiX/ccx_2.20/ThirdParty/SPOOLES.2.2/MT/src/spoolesMT.a -L/Users/ali/.local/lib -lprecice `pkg-config --libs yaml-cpp` -lstdc++ -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/arpack/3.9.1_1/lib -larpack -llapack -lblas -lpthread -lm -lc

I tried using two different versions of yaml-cpp, but neither worked. The path to the header files and libraries was correct, as determined by pkg-config --libs yaml-cpp. Using LSP, I can jump to the declarations in the header files. Also, the shared library contains all these symbols, which I confirmed using nm -C /path/to/lib | grep symbolName. I also tried to put the link flag -lyaml-cpp at different orders, but it too didn’t help.

At this point, I’m not sure what I’m missing. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me identify the issue.
