In case you need to build FoundationDB on macOS without the upstream-provided Docker build container, here’s how to do it!

Note: These instructions assume that you have Homebrew installed under the default /usr/local path. Make sure to update the paths below if you’ve installed somewhere else.

As per the Compiling from Source section of the FoundationDB README, this build is memory hungry! You may need to “ninja -j1” to reduce the overhead, at the expense of compile time.
