Ah, that's a bummer. I'm thinking of packaging Concorde with pytsp (and releasing a wheel on PyPI), but in the meantime, are you OK with building Concorde from scratch yourself?

Carpetfizz commented 6 years ago

That's cool. And yeah, I was able to build Concorde from scratch using these instructions

jvkersch commented 6 years ago

@Carpetfizz Thanks for bringing this up. This (and many other useful recipes) used to be in the now-deprecated homebrew/science repo, and it's a pity that this is not around anymore. In the meantime, I've updated the tools/build_concorde.sh script in the repository so that it works on mac OS as well. I've updated the README to reflect the new usage instructions.

Thanks for being proactive about fixing this issue. You definitely helped my friends and I complete our class project in time!

@Carpetfizz Glad to hear it was helpful! Don't hesitate to let me know if there are other things you want to do with this package.
