Troubles compiling on MacOS  #13

On a new M4 Pro MacBook Pro, I've tried compiling whisper-cpp-server using the instructions provided for MacOS.

When I run cmake -B cmake-build-release -DWHISPER_COREML=1 as instructed, I get warnings about not including CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES and I get a fatal error about libuv, which is installed on my machine with brew install libuv.

This is the libuv error:

CMake Error at vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake:859 (_find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "libuv" with any of
the following names:

libuvConfig.cmake
libuv-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "libuv" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"libuv_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "libuv"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

After trial and error I have this compile command which still throws the same error: cmake -B cmake-build-release -DWHISPER_COREML=1 -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="arm64" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_Path="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libuv/1.49.2"

The homebrew libuv installation doesn't appear to have cmake files which I suspect is the core of the problem. So I ran variations of pkg-config libuv and pkg-config --static --libs libuv REQUIRED but it didn't help and at this point I really don't have a clue what I'm doing anymore.

What am I failing to do? How do you get this to compile on MacOS? It looks so perfect for my needs but I can't make it go!
