Add support for MacOS with ARM CPUs (CMake + GitHub Action) #25

Open siggmo opened 1 month ago

siggmo commented 1 month ago

Closes #21

Add support for macOS.

Changes in CMakeLists.txt:

Apple specific relative RPATH

New GitHub Actions workflow file for building and testing on macOS:

Using the macos-14 GitHub hosted runner (M1 CPU)
No container image, dependencies are installed directly in the workflow
Brew dependencies
clang C++ compiler (CMake default on macOS)
Otherwise more less the same workflow file as for Ubuntu

So far I got it to compile, so I guess the depencies are fine now. But running the tests raises some HDF5 related errors. I've never worked with HDF5 in C++, so maybe @sanathkeshav could you please have a look at the errors?

The tests fail with both hdf5 and hdf5-mpi brew packages. They can't be installed at the same time:

Error: Cannot install hdf5-mpi because conflicting formulae are installed.
  hdf5: because hdf5-mpi is a variant of hdf5, one can only use one or the other
