Handling a version mismatch of the compiler version between conan and CMake - macos

I am developing on macOS with Apple-clang v12 being the default compiler via the Xcode installation. Since valgrind still does not support Big Sur and the Apple version does not support Google Sanitizers I have to manually install llvm v11.1 via homebrew to leverage Google Sanitizers to have any memory leak detection tool enabled.
Unfortunately this causes some issues with conan and its integration with CMake and CLion, my IDE. Since my dependencies do not provide binaries for my architecture using clang instead of Apple-clang they have to built locally. Unfortunately conan and CMake error when invoking them with two contradictory error messages:
conan install /Users/near/Code/personal/blight -if=/Users/near/Code/personal/blight/cmake-build-debug -pr=LLVM11Debug --build=missing

This is the output seen in the CMake output window of CLion. The first invocation has CMake think Apple-clang is my compiler while conan is configured to use the llvm version and on the second step (most likely invoked by conan_basic_setup in my CMakeLists.txt) the correct CMake compiler is chosen but Conan ends up without a profile hence a version mismatch.
In the CLion settings I have already overwritten the c++ compiler with the llvm v11.1 compiler:
What's the correct solution to properly configure both to use the llvm v11.1 compiler? I personally do not want to enable the CONAN_DISABLE_CHECK_COMPILER CMake variable as it is unclear which compiler will be used to compile dependencies in the end.
Previously posted questions only suggest intentionally using the higher version which is not what I want:
CMake Error: mismatch for the compiler version between your conan profile

Both packages I see in your log file, spdlog and fmt, are available as header only configuration.
So if these are your only dependencies, you can simply set the option to use them header only, and this will eliminate the problem since there is nothing to build for these packages.
One way doing so is adding the settings into the profile you use, into the option section, like that
[options]
fmt:header_only=True
spdlog:header_only=True

I was able to find a solution albeit by disabling the Conan integration first. With a clean build directory I went in there and had to invoke Conan manually as follows:
CC=clang CXX=clang++ conan install .. -pr=LLVM11Debug --build=missing
Afterwards it was possible run build with CMake and clang 11 configured in the UI of CLion. The issue was that the Conan integration plugin does not provide a direct way to set the compiler using the environment variables and it does not get the compiler from the Toolchain options in CLion.

SUPERDCA_DEPENDENCIES setup: check for Boost

package:
No suitable build variant has been found.

Since it says it set boost_program_options_FOUND to FALSE, should I set it to TRUE?
The package versions are:
# Name Version Build Channel
boost-cpp 1.80.0 h75c5d50_0 conda-forge
cmake 3.24.1 h5432695_0 conda-forge
The clue is here:
* libboost_program_options.so.1.80.0 (shared, Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON)
Presumbly your Conda environment has only shared libraries for Boost in $CONDA_PREFIX/lib, and not static ones. For some reason, the software you're trying to build has set Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS to require static linking. Without knowing why that is, there are two possible solutions:
Find where Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS is set, and remove it.
Find a Boost package which contains static libraries. This may be fairly uncommon on Linux, where shared libraries are used most of the time.

How can I make homebrew's cmake to use system clang

Is there anyway to make brew's cmake work with system clang?
The question is not correct. CMake uses the system clang successfully, but it can't find clang libraries required by the project.
The Build manual lists the requirements, one of them is
Clang+LLVM headers and libraries, version >= 7
You get errors because you have not provided that dependency.
brew install llvm#13

LLVM build: source duplicated from a working build

I am trying to build a LLVM from a working copy I have from another machine. The original source is build using configure and make. However, on the new systems the same build method fails (I have tried make clean). I tried the cmake option and it says the following:
Basically there seems to be some left over files from the earlier build, so the question is how do I remove it, elegantly, i.e not with a linux command but using the LLVM build system itself. make distclean says "No rule to make target `disctclean'. Stop."

The LLVM build system does not provide a solution for this problem. You can start from scratch with clean sources or use some linux shell voodoo to get rid of all .gen files.
This is one reason why we use a separate build directory in the directions here:
http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#getting-started-quickly-a-summary
The easiest way would be to restart with a clean set of source and avoid using configure and make in the source directory.
If you checked the source out using source control you can just use that to remove all the untracked files and reset all the modified ones.
Just remove the mentioned files:
Users/me/scp/llvm_release/lib/Target/AArch64/AArch64GenAsmWriter.inc;
...
...
/Users/me/scp/llvm_release/lib/Target/XCore/XCoreGenSubtargetInfo.inc
/Users/me/scp/llvm_release/include/llvm/IR/Intrinsics.gen
and then run run make or cmake or ninja again. If it complains that a file is missing then copy the missing file from the original LLVM source code.
