compile neper on macOS Monterey (v 12.4)

[MostafaMollaali]

I am having trouble compiling Neper on macOS. Do you have any suggestions?

I have not installed on Mac in awhile, but in my experience I was unable to use the default compilers. My solution was to install the LLVM compilers via brew, and be very specific about pointing CMake in the right direction with respect to pathing. Unfortunately, this was long enough ago that I do not have a set recipe, but this should get you started.

[MostafaMollaali]

Thank you for your response. I have install llvm
brew install llvm
llvm-config --version
16.0.5

and also add following two lines to the CMakeLists.txt

set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang")
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++")

however, I got new error :(

[rquey]

Matt is the expert here, but since your error has to do with muparser, a first approach would be to disable it:

cmake -DHAVE_MUPARSER=OFF ..
make

Use the latest version (4.6.1-4), which includes a small fix.

[MostafaMollaali]

Thank you for your suggestion! However I got another error

cmake -DHAVE_MUPARSER=OFF ..

Did you clear the build folder prior to attempting to re-run? Have you updated to the version that @rquey suggested?

Regarding what I have on my Mac, all I recall at this point is what I saved in my zshrc:

export CC=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang
export CXX=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/llvm/include"

At this point, so far removed from install, I'm not sure if LDFLAGS or CPPFLAGS were necessary or just a leftover from a previous failed iteration to get the installation to work.

Overall, I have since moved entirely to Ubuntu. My experience overall was that installation on Mac was a severe headache (as are most things with Mac...). This was especially true once upgrading to Monterey. Also, I have an Intel Mac. I am not sure how anything works on any of the newer systems with the ARM processors, which add an even further level of complexity/difference to the mix.

Sorry I can't be of much more help.

Thank you for your response. I followed the above steps, however, still there is the same error.

• I have used an updated version from the Git repository:

git log --oneline

9fc04371 (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) Fix compilation without muparser
c5b646e6 Fix test S/mesh_odf
764edc87 Fix -statelset group -elt hex
e94c3f33 Fix compilation with -DHAVE_OPENMP=OFF
5c9ab5ab (tag: v4.6.0) Add new capabilities
6a15df42 Add error message for -format msh4

• yes I used a fresh build folder each time that I re-compiled

• I have exported the environment variables to the bash file:

vim ~/.bash_profile

export CC=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang
export CXX=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/llvm/include"

source ~/.bash_profile

You seem to have muparser installed system-wide (all the /usr/local/include/muParser*), which Neper still tries to use. You could try to uninstall it (if it isn't used elsewhere).

[MostafaMollaali]

Thank you for your suggestion. I have uninstalled muParser from my brew and I checked if I have any package on pip.
Then I recompile the neper in a new build folder. However, I got some errors regarding muParser :

cmake -DHAVE_MUPARSER=OFF ..
