Of course, you can use other compilers and more sophisticated integrated desktop environments, but these instructions will get you a good baseline system with support for 64-bit binaries and OpenMP parallelization. The entire toolchain is free and open source. In the end result, you’ll have a compiler and key makefile capabilities.
These instructions were tested with OSX 10.11 (El Capitan), but they should work on any reasonably recent version of OSX. These instructions should get you up and running with a minimal environment for compiling 64-bit C++ projects with OpenMP (e.g., BioFVM and PhysiCell) using gcc.
Windows users should use this guide instead. Note: This is the part of a series of “how-to” blog posts to help new users and developers of BioFVM and PhysiCell. Posted in BioFVM, gcc, MacPorts, OpenMP, OSX, PhysiCell - Janu4 Comments
