doas: not installed setuid - macOS 11.1

I can't be sure because I don't use macOS and can't support it. However, I can tell you that vidoas needs to be run as the root user (or using a tool like sudo or doas). This is mentioned in the script's manual page.

As for the install process, I'm not sure what is going wrong there, but it looks like something is blocking doas from being set up to run as root (setuid). My guess it you may need to manually change it using "sudo chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/doas".

I would definitely not move the prefix to another location. The location shouldn't make any difference.

By the way, another macOS user posted recently and mentioned that homebrew sets up directories in /usr/ to be writable by the user. If your system does this it is a huge security issue as it means anyone can replace your doas binary or doas.conf file with their own and run any command as root. Make sure your directories are not writable by your user before you install doas.

This can be closed now. I changed permissions and everything earlier but never got it to work out. All I did was run sudo make, sudo make install instead of make, sudo make install and it works fine now!
