It is easy fixed by
pip3 install ds_store. The question is: is this a documentation flaw or a bug in theMakefile.am? -

AFAIK there are more issue like the svg conversion tool... I went down that rabbit hole but couldn't find an exit. A fix would be great.

Does #20878 (comment) work for you?
Sorry @hebasto I quickly deleted my comment to see if there was something in this doc that may help before re-posting but no
pip3 install ds_storedid not workComment was:
I'm still seeing this error after following the build guide

There may be an extra command/config I need that maybe could be added to the documentation... will try to figure it out

Could you make another try in a new Terminal window?
No luck unfortunately

@hebasto I'm having the same issue. Running on a Macbook Pro, Monterey 12.3. I installed python via brew as specified in the MacOS build docs but I also have an installation via conda (which is currently not working in my editor I should say). However, I just ran
python -versionand it gives mepython not found. Odd.Also I installed the required dependencies (ds_store and mac_alias) with pip3.
Any thoughts?

I noticed deleting the old installation of ds_store, and reinstalling worked.
