The problem is globus-toolkit is no longer maintained
Sorry for commenting on that old message, and you may likely be already aware, but I would like to point to the work from the Grid Community Forum, and the work on the fork of the Globus Toolkit.
See https://gridcf.org/ and https://github.com/gridcf/gct/.

That direction is reasonable IMO.
As Grid Community Toolkit is huge and has a bunch of dependencies awaiting packaging, I just disable related plugins with the corresponding CMake flags -DPLUGIN_<NAME>=FALSE
.

Hello,
I don't think I'll be able to have a look at it very soon.
However, if you're willing to take the task, that sounds great!
Before you start, have a look at this pending issue regarding davix, one of the gfal2 dependencies:
cern-fts/homebrew-dmc#5
It might also affect this issue.

Hi Mihai,
I think I can get some useful information from the issue you posted, thank you!
Basically I'd like to understand what are the functionalities of globus-toolkit used by gfal2: I need to provide them with a different toolset (read: set of packages).
Any advice is greatly appreciated :)
Cheers,

Hello Gabriele,
The globus-toolkit
provides necessary libraries and headers that Gfal2 uses for the gridFTP and SRM protocols.
With some CMake tinkering, it may be possible to disable those plugins, but you'd lose important protocols.
Perhaps there's a way to get them from the repo directly:
https://github.com/globus/globus-toolkit
I'm not familiar with the package distribution on MacOS.

Hello Mihai,
I managed to work a bit on this.
Right now I had to disable quite a few protocols via CMakeLists:
#add_subdirectory (dcap)
add_subdirectory (file)
add_subdirectory (gridftp)
#add_subdirectory (http)
#add_subdirectory (lfc)
#add_subdirectory (rfio)
add_subdirectory (sftp)
#add_subdirectory (srm)
add_subdirectory (xrootd)
add_subdirectory (mock)
This is due to lack of many dependencies for such protocols via Home-brew (cap, davix_copy, LFC, RFIO and SRM).
Right now I am facing the errors directly related to the Globus Toolkit:
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
GLOBUS_COMMON_LIBRARIES (ADVANCED)

Such errors do disappear if I comment out GridFTP as well.
Do you see any option to circumvent this manually adding the necessary dependencies getting rid of the globus-toolkit one?

Hello Gabriele,
Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with MacOS packaging.
The globus toolkit dependencies are needed for some very essential protocols, such as GridFTP and SRM.
Gfal2 won't be of much use without those protocols.
The problem is globus-toolkit
is no longer maintained, as Globus discontinued support and now offer their cloud product.
However, the globus toolkit repository seems to still be active.
Perhaps there is a way to install/build the package from there?
If those dependencies are met, Gfal2 should also build.
Hope it helps.

Some news about Mac packaging of gfal2
:
I made it to package gfal2
, gfal2-python
and gfal2-util
with Nix and Nixpkgs tooling. It's now on its way to Nixpkgs:
The term Darwin refers to the the kernel of Mac OS, and is basically another way to say "Mac" in Nixpkgs scenario.
