#565 Undef symbol in hicum2 when compiling on macOS Big Sur M1

[Aaron Lanterman]

When trying to use the build-for-mac-os.sh script on my Mac M1 running Big Sur (after fixing a bunch of other problems related to include and library paths and some other odds and ends), I get this error:

CCLD ngspice

Please try the script attached which I am using to compile ngspice on my MAC i5, BigSur.

If this is o.k., I will delete the old one. If this shows an error, we have to analyze it.

[Dietmar Warning]

Markus,
in case you have access to this kind of computer.

Unfortunately, I do not have access to a Mac...

[Francesco Lannutti]

This requires the compatibility with arm64 architecture.

[Markus Müller]

It seems to me that the C++ std library is missing in the build. Please try adding it, either using a c++ compiler and/or adding "-lc++" to the build arguments. Maybe it solves the issue....

[Holger Vogt]

Instead of being helpful to fix the issue, Aaron has created a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MUme6g2n3U) whining and lamenting, finally stopping at OMP, without recognizing that the Apple clang compiler may not support OpenMP (at least for macOS on Intel it does not).

ngspice will compile also for arm64, as is shown on the Debian page https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ngspice&suite=bookworm . Homebrew obviously also has got ngspice compiling for M1 (see https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/ngspice).

So may I suggest that we close this issue for now.
