Unable to build on Mac M4

[lipohlmann]

Description

Hi all,

I am working to build OpenMOC to run some benchmarks, but the build system appears to be outdated... I am attempting to install from source as the documentation suggests.

Device specifications:

• Apple Air M4 Chip
• Compiler: clang
• RAM: 16 GB

Terminal log:

Just attempting to install in a base conda environment with Python 3.13:

lipohlmann@macbook-air-4 ~/c/OpenMOC (develop)> python setup.py install --user --cc=clang                       (base) 
/Users/lipohlmann/anaconda3/lib/python3.13/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/cmd.py:90: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated.

However, if I create a new conda environment based on Python 3.8, the build process gets a little farther:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello

The base clang on your Mac does not support openmp you need to install compilers

You should be able use the moose development stack.
I'll try when I get home
EDIT: might need a newer python for MOOSE, got to find something that works

Hey Liam

i made a PR #491 and ran a case on my macbook so it's working now
See the PR, there are caveats, notably the contaminated rpath (to clean with install_name_tool -delete_rpath) is not ideal.
