gcc/gfortran 11 cannot find headers/libraries in default locations - macos

Question

After upgrading python 3.8.6 to 3.9.10 using homebrew, my Cython extensions no longer without explicitly adding /usr/local/include (for my Intel MacBook) or /opt/homebrew/include to the include_dirs of my extension.
My setup.py.in:
import os, sys
from numpy.distutils.core import setup, Extension
from Cython.Build import cythonize
link_arguments = []
extra_include_dirs = []
if (sys.platform == 'darwin'):
link_arguments.append("-Wl,-rpath")
link_arguments.append("-Wl,#loader_path/")
if os.path.exists('/opt/homebrew/'):
extra_include_dirs.append("/opt/homebrew/include/")
else:
extra_include_dirs.append("/usr/local/include/")
else:
link_arguments.append("-Wl,-rpath=${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/")
pynwp_extension = Extension(
name="pynwp",
sources=["${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/lambert.f90", "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/pynwp.f90", "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/readAtmosphereGen.f90", "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ptogrot.f", "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/bilin1.f", "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/fl2pres_f.f","${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/message.c","${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/gridWindDirCorrection.F"],
libraries=["HirlamUtils_fPIC", "eccodes_f90", "jasper"],
library_dirs=["${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}", "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/build${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}/src/libHirlamUtils/", "/opt/homebrew/lib/"],
extra_link_args = link_arguments,
include_dirs=["${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/include", "/usr/lib64/gfortran/modules/",
"${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/build${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}"] + extra_include_dirs,
extra_f90_compile_args=["-DLINUX", "-DIS_LITTLE_ENDIAN", "-DUSEWALLTIME", "-DHAS_BLAS", "-DHAS_LAPACK", "-DGRIB32", "-DTIMING", "-DPREC32", "-fno-whole-file", "-g", "-fbounds-check"]
#compiler_directives={'language_level' : "3"}
)
setup(name="pynwp",

In the file above, I have hardcoded the location (temporarily) of the homebrew library dir and added some functionality for the include dir based on /opt/homebrew being found. If I remove this from the file, compilation fails as eccodes.mod cannot be found, see the output when I run the command generate by python/CMake manually:

This extension is part of a larger project that is build using CMake. When running the gfortran command manually, the same errors indicating that eccodes.mod cannot be found. The file is however located on a default location on the gfortran/gcc search path:
locate eccodes.mod
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/eccodes/2.24.2/include/eccodes.mod
/opt/homebrew/include/eccodes.mod
And the search path for gfortran:
gfortran -E -Wp,-v -
#include <...> search starts here:
/opt/homebrew/include
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gcc/11.2.0_3/bin/../lib/gcc/11/gcc/aarch64-apple-darwin21/11/include
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gcc/11.2.0_3/bin/../lib/gcc/11/gcc/aarch64-apple-darwin21/11/include-fixed
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.sdk/usr/include
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX12.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks
End of search list.
Another project uses gcc/ld and has a similar problem. I need to explicitly add LINK_DIRECTORIES(/opt/homebrew/lib) to CMakeList.txt in order for gcc to find the eccodes library. Without that, I get:
gcc-11: warning: this compiler does not support X86 (arch flags ignored)
ld: library not found for -leccodes
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [src/smoothModeS-v51/smoothModeS-v51.x] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src/smoothModeS-v51/CMakeFiles/smoothModeS-v51.x.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Adding the paths to CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH had no effect.
This method works but seems hard to maintain. What am I missing and what has changed that gfortran/gcc no longer search in the default paths for but libraries and headers/modules?
EDIT
Just found that the standalone executable that uses similar code as the python extension and also uses eccodes has a similar issue. If I do not include INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(/opt/homebrew/include) in CMakeLists.txt , I get:
cd <project_dir>/buildDebug/src/collocEHS && /opt/homebrew/bin/gfortran -I<project_dir>/buildDebug -I<project_dir>/include -I<project_dir>/src/readASTERIX2 -I<project_dir>/src/geomag70_linux -I<project_dir>/src/libDTG -fallow-argument-mismatch -ffpe-trap=invalid,zero,overflow -DPREC32 -DLINUX -DIS_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DUSEWALLTIME -DHAS_BLAS -DHAS_LAPACK -DGRIB32 -DTIMING -ffixed-line-length-none -g -fcheck=all -Wall -fcheck=bounds -O0 -g -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX12.1.sdk -c <project_dir>/src/pynwp/readAtmosphereGen.f90 -o CMakeFiles/collocEHSv2.dir/__/pynwp/readAtmosphereGen.f90.o

So I guess the problem is unrelated to python but more with gcc/gfortran (gcc version 11.2.0 (Homebrew GCC 11.2.0_3).
EDIT 2
A reboot of the laptop fixed the issue with the python extension build and setup.py requiring additional directories. For normal builds using CMake, I still require the extra INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and LINK_DIRECTORIES order for gcc/gfortran to find libraries installed by brew in /opt/homebrew (or /usr/local for intel MacBook).

Answer 1

As per homebrew devs, this is desired behaviour: /opt/homebrew and /usr/local are "special" directories to be manually added in e.g., CMake projects. This is explained in my bug report on home-brew's GitHub, see https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/95561.
I haven't been able to confirm this with documentation.
