I am trying to install the Node.js package better-sqlite3 on my Strapi App, on my new laptop, a MacBook Pro M2 running on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1. It is not successful because, from what I understood, there are packages missing, and specifically while running the make command during the build process of node-gyp (I don't think it is specific for my laptop, because I have seen other people in the same case on Internet, but without a good solution).
I tried to install Xcode but it didn't change anything.
I tried to install autoconf, automake, libtool, pkg-config with brew (because I have seen it was maybe the equivalent of build-tools of Linux on MacOS), but same result.
I also tried to execute xcode-select --install, but was already installed.
I lastly tried on my former laptop - which is a MacBook Pro Intel, running on MacOS Monterey 12.5, it is working perfectly (which is proving thus that it is an error occurring only on the new version)
Here is the error printed on the terminal :

Thank you very much for your help.
Oh, Sorry! it was just a stupid bug : I had a folder with spaces in the name, and this caused to create a false path to /Users/Maxime/Desktop/Projets de code/mh-info.fr/backend/node_modules/better-sqlite3/deps/sqlite3/sqlite3.c
