Hi there,
Building for MacOS X is fairly straightforward. I would recommend using Brew
and not MacPorts but really it shouldn’t matter.
You need GCC6 for building the latest on Intel- I’ve tested the Mac build on
Intel with the latest version of gfortran (11) and the app won’t launch, it
dies inside of some date routines and I haven’t bothered to debug it. For the
Apple M1 build, there is no other compiler available for fortran other than gcc
11. Unfortunately the M1 build has a crash bug in the FT8 decoder that is
actually a compiler bug in gfortran 11. So I don’t recommend trying to build
for M1.
You can get gcc v6 here:
brew install gcc@6
Hi Alex and Mark,
gfortran 7 should be OK too, any newer and you will likely get binaries
on macOS that don't work. Work is in hand to sort out the parts of our
code that cause the newer gfortran versions to generate broken code, but
it is a big job as it involves some other releted major refactoring of code.
