It fails with the following output:

Answer these questions (or I will ignore your issue)

1. Describe your platform / Operative System and the version of PlotJuggler you are using.
   I am on MacOS running 15.2 Sequoia
2. Compile and try the latest version in the main branch and check if the problem persists.
   Can't compile
3. Check if the problem can be reproduced using the dummy data created by the command line argument "-t" or one of the files in the folder "datasamples".
   Can't compile
4. If it can't be reproduced with the dummy data, please share the CSV file or the rosbag that can be used to reproduce the problem.
   Can't compile

It appears that you’re facing similar issues. Here’s what I’ve encountered with version 3.10:

It just came out from PROJECT(plotjuggler LANGUAGES C CXX VERSION 3.9.3) in project CMakeLists.txt file.

The problem is the linker:

  ld: file cannot be mmap()ed, errno=22 path=/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib in '/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib'

It turns out that using

QT_HOME=$(brew --prefix qt@5)
export CPPFLAGS="-I $QT_HOME/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$QT_HOME/lib/pkgconfig"
export LDFLAGS="-L $QT_HOME/lib"

Instead of

QT_HOME=$(brew --prefix qt@5)
export CPPFLAGS="-I $QT_HOME/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$QT_HOME/lib/pkgconfig"
export LDFLAGS="$QT_HOME/lib"

worked for me.

I've asked for ChatGPT for this problem, and it says:

When linking, the compiler expects flags like -L/path/to/lib to tell it “this directory is where you should look for libraries.” That’s how the linker knows to look inside /path/to/lib for .a and .dylib (or .so) files.

By contrast, a bare path like /path/to/lib (without -L) is interpreted as an object file (or library file) to be linked directly. Obviously, if a path is a directory rather than an actual file, the linker will fail with “file cannot be mmap()ed” or a similar error.

Hence:

-L/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib ⇒ “Look in /opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib for libraries to link”
/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib ⇒ “Attempt to link the file named /opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib” (which fails because it’s a directory).

Unfortunately, I’ve encountered another problem while building the source code (I’m currently searching for solutions…):
