macOSX installation issues
 

Dear all,

I'm a newbie to SU2. I'm trying a simple build on my MacBook (macOS 10.14.4) but I the warnings when running ./bootstrap :
configure: WARNING: C++ compiler cannot create executables
and
errors during make and make install(see below).

My c++ compiler seems to work i.e. I have Xcode and the command line tools. I can compile normally my c++ codes.

Many thanks in advance for your help! I have runned out of ideas on how to get SU2 to work on my Mac.

Karim

Custom GCC on MacOSX
 

Hi Karim,


A little late but did you get this working?


On my mac I've found better results than the native CLANG in setting up a custom environment based on GCC 8.1.0 and OpenMPI 3.1.


Quickly glancing through your log your build fails at compile time so the make install section will definately fail.



Cheers,
-pete

Hi Karim,

I went through similar errors and, as Pete says, I finally could run SU2 by installing GCC compiler via Homebrew, then building OpenMPI pointing to the gcc compiler and finally building SU2 pointing to that OpenMPI compiler (which, btw, my version of OpenMPI is 4.0.1)

Regards,
Pablo
