Building GIMP 2.10 from source on OSX fails on “gimp-debug-tool-2.0”

I was trying to build GIMP 2.10 on OSX for a week now with no success. Most of the problems were all the different dependencies and such. While it took time all of it was solvable but now I think I came to an dead end. I have gone to the stage where I could finally run "make" and after some time of building different things it errors out on "gimp-debug-tool-2.0". Here is the output log:

Making all in app-tools CCLD gimp-debug-tool-2.0
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_OBJC_CLASS_$_NSString", referenced from: objc-class-ref in libappwidgets.a(gimpcriticaldialog.o) "_OBJC_CLASS_$_NSWorkspace", referenced from: objc-class-ref in libappwidgets.a(gimpcriticaldialog.o) "_objc_autoreleasePoolPop", referenced from: _gimp_critical_dialog_response in libappwidgets.a(gimpcriticaldialog.o) "_objc_autoreleasePoolPush", referenced from: _gimp_critical_dialog_response in libappwidgets.a(gimpcriticaldialog.o) "_objc_msgSend", referenced from:

I have got similar errors when I was building Qt, OpenCv applications. The problem there was that libraries were missing and I solved it by providing paths to those libraries. But what could possibly be missing when building "gimp-debug-tool-2.0" which seems to be internal tool.

If somebody had any similar experience or has any clue/hint on how I could solve this problem and could point me to the right direction it would be very much appreciated.

Tanks in advance.

You are missing Cocoa in your build. Seriously, building on OSX is not an easy task. But you don't have to take my word for it. :)

Building GIMP 2.10 from source on OSX fails on “gimp-debug-tool-2.0”

I was indeed missing cocoa, but it was not the cause of the problem. After installing cocoa I still got the same error. However as it was only the debug tool it was crashing on I decided to run make with -k falg which made cmake to continue on error. Luckily there were no other errors and after installing it worked just fine. Thank you for your reply. Attaching a screenshot as a proof that it finally runs on my MacBook.
