Build GLVis using gcc under MacOS #264

Has anyone successfully built GLVis on MacOS using gcc installed by brew ? Related to a previous issue, it seems there's still troubles building GLVis this way. I wonder if there's any solution ? Please see my comment to that previous issue (#178)

          Hello @ilonster @tzanio  I am having similar troubles in building GLVis 4.2 on MacOS Ventura. For other reasons, I could only build MFEM using gcc, instead of Apple's clang. I am trying to build GLVis using the same compiler and flags, but got SDK related errors (see below).  Any solutions for this ?

On Mac we have some Objective C++ sources that allow us to use some Mac-specific (Cocoa) stuff. I'm not sure GCC really supports this type of sources, so I think you need to use Apple's clang compiler, clang++.

There is also a Mac binary that you can download and use directly: https://bit.ly/glvis-mac
