Description
On M4 Macbook. Trying to compile and I got this error when I ran ./configure --compiler="$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang" --download-nyan
The compiler doesn't support required C++20 features:
* Concepts
* Default comparisons
The following versions support these features:
* clang++ >= 10
* g++ >= 10
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 >= 16.8
Please upgrade your compiler to build openage.
CMake Error at buildsystem/CheckCompilerFeatures.cmake:57 (message):
aborting
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:174 (include)
I tried this earlier and it seems like it should compile but I am unsure what's going on:
(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang++ -std=c++20 /Users/tarek/Downloads/test.cpp -o test_cpp20
tarek@Mac openage % ./test_cpp20
Testing Concept: 6
Testing Comparison (p1 < p2): true
Testing Comparison (p1 == p1): true

Research direction
Start by reproducing the ./configure command on macOS and inspect buildsystem/CheckCompilerFeatures.cmake, especially the failure reported from CMakeLists.txt:174. Compare the compiler selected by --compiler with the compiler used for the C++20 feature checks; done means the configured build accepts the available compiler or reports the actual mismatch clearly.
