Mac OS Installation - Prerequisites

Do not use AppleClang

Please note that since AppleClang does not support C++ Concepts (yet ?), it cannot be used to compile Aevol.

We recommend you use the Homebrew package manager to install Aevol’s dependencies. If you don’t have Homebrew yet, please visit https://brew.sh/

Install dependencies

brew install cmake git libomp llvm zlib

Alternative compilers

If you don’t wish to use llvm, you will need to explicitly set the C/C++ compiler (and probably linker flags) when running cmake, e.g.:

cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/local/opt/gcc/bin/gcc-14 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/opt/gcc/bin/g++-14 -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc ..
