Describe the bug
Build fails:

CMake Error at /usr/ports/biology/simvascular/work/SimVascular-2022-07-19-gf6179e1f/Code/CMake/SimVascularMacros.cmake:1372 (message):
  The operating system does not have any available pre-built binaries.  See
  the build documentation to build your own.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMake/SvExtOptions.cmake:79 (sv_externals_add_new_external)
  CMakeLists.txt:83 (include)

To Reproduce
Regular cmake configure

The statement:

The operating system does not have any available pre-built binaries.

is incorrect. Qt5 binaries are installed through the qt5-core-5.15.8p157_1, qt5-widgets-5.15.8p157, etc. packages.

How to make SimVascular to find Qt and other binaries?

@yurivict SimVascular uses pre-built packages for Windows, MacOS and Ubuntu downloaded from http://simvascular.stanford.edu/downloads/public/simvascular/externals/, it does not use any of these packages (e.g., Qt) installed locally. There are currently no pre-built packages for FreeBSD.

How to use package-installed binaries?

[ktbolt]

The packages are automatically downloaded when you use CMake to build SimVascular. The error message you saw was from CMake not being able to find appropriate binaries for your OS.

[yurivict]

cmake typically looks for Qt using a line like this:

find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Core Gui Svg Widgets REQUIRED)

SimVascular doesn't do this?

[ktbolt]

SimVascular downloads Qt as an external package (e.g., see http://simvascular.stanford.edu/downloads/public/simvascular/externals/2022.10/linux/ubuntu/20.04/gnu/7.5/x64/release/2022.10.13/) because of compatibility issues with the MITK framework SimVascular uses.
