[Dune-devel] Dune on MacOS

[Dedner, Andreas]

Just wanted to add that we are now testing the Python bindings using github 'actions' and those tests include macOS. The test builds our tutorial which means that quite a bit of the code in core is used.
CMake output is
     The CXX compiler identification is AppleClang 12.0.0.12000032
Don't know if we could check other versions as well, haven't looked into that.
We were more interested in adding different Python version. With macOS we had some issues with Python 3.7 (3.9 worls fine) and also, we couldn't get petsc4py to work.

You could use that approach to test on macOS without setting up your own VM.

Thank you all for your feedback. I will forward the information to my
students and colleagues. For testing I also installed an older MacOS
10.15.5 Catalina in a virtual box. Lets see how this works in MacOS...

Best,
Simon
