Mac os support

    • Closed Issue created by Sahil Moza @sahil

    Created by: subhacom

    It should not be hard to provide mac os support in moose build system as this is a unix clone. mac support was implemented in 2008 but was not maintained. With fewer dependencies it should be even simpler now.

        Default Xcode toolchain, discourage static libraries. Module _moose.so, wont work unless all components are statically linked due to static Cinfo. [see]9https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/ctors#static-init-order).

        Will test with gnu linker. Not sure what implication it might have on the package: the c runtime environment has to be shipped with package I guess.

        gcc toolchain installed with brew having linking issues. Cmake is linking with static stdc++ which should work. Problem with architecture symbol support. Known issue with brew. Testing with macports now which has better gcc support.

        Clang linker does not support static linking with --whole-archive. The -static option complains about missing libctrl.o file. If nothing works, manually compile the missing libcrt0.o file.

        Build and test successful with default Xcode toolchain on MAC. --whole-archive option needed to be replaced by -load_all and -noload_all option. Packaging now should be straightforward from now on.

        Currently implemented on macos branch in fork https://github.com/dilawar/moose-core.

        Instead of using moose-full in moose brew formulae, use moose-core and moose-gui repositories along with moose-example. This will audit problems of GitHub repository not notable enough (<10 forks, <10 watchers and <20 stars).

        A 88MB dmg file is released today. Tested on three versions of mac : 10.11, 10.9 and 10.8. Works fine. moose-gui canvas for creating new models does not work. That has been reported on moose-gui repository.
