How can I build glog from source on Mac M1 or arm platform

[PengZai]

Hello, everyone. I git clone the source code and follow the instruction of offical website to build glog from the scratch. however, I failed in compiling process. it seems there are some syntactic error, but I guess it might be some misoperation by me. please help me.

what I've done basically is:
1)git clone https://github.com/google/glog.git
2)cmake -S . -B build -G "Unix Makefiles"
3)cmake --build build
Then it abort, information is shown as following.

CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:78 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findgflags.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "gflags", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "gflags" (requested
  version 2.2.2) with any of the following names:

    gflagsConfig.cmake
    gflags-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "gflags" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "gflags_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "gflags"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.

this offical instruction works in ubuntu20.04 x86_64 platform but it doesn't in Mac M1 or arm platform.

Your setup seems to be broken because the compiler doesn't even recognize C++11 syntax while latest glog requires C++14.
