[Users] problems compiling ETK on OSX Big Sur

[Mario Gutierrez Abed (PGR)]

Hi Roland,

Has the toolkit been tested on M1 chips yet? I was just about to do a fresh install of the latest Lorentz release on my M1 Mac Mini and then I saw this thread.  Do you recommend sticking to x86 or is it safe to install on M1?

Best,
Mario

This is x86 or M1?

I could compile Lorentz fine on OSX BigSur (x86 in a VM) using both
macports and homebrew.

Note that both might have updated their default compilers (to gcc-11)
since you last tried.

The instructions to compile are in the jupyter notebook:

I just tried following those instructions on BigSur 11.4, HomeBrew, both
freshly updated and things worked ok (taking into account the bugfix in
