Installation Errors on MacOS M1 Max chip

[Buhari Ibrahim]

Hello everyone, 

I am new to dealii, I was trying to install on my MacOS M1 Max system by following guide in the link;

https://github.com/caveofprogramming/advanced-cplusplus/wiki

I think thing were going well until I received these errors which I tried to resolve but couldn't. Any pointers? Thank you.

Buhari.

Hi Luca, as a follow up, I tried to go through the tutorial and build step-1 of the examples for instance, however, I run into this error;

CMake Error: The source directory "/Applications/deal.II.app/Contents/Resources/Libraries/share/deal.II/examples/step-10" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

It says it can’t find CMakelists.txt, but when I ls the content of ’step-1’ I see it listed there. Any idea what the problem might be? Sorry if this is a beginners level thing. Thank you.

The directory you showed seem to contain already two executables (step-10.debug and step-10.release). Does running any of those two work?

It’s possible that this is not the right directory (i.e., there may be a copy that was done in the wrong way).

I do not have the PC where I build the binary at my disposal now, but can you try to see if the examples directory is also in

/Applications/deal.II.app/Contents/Resources/Libraries/examples

(notice that this is not the same as the above)

If so, try building there.

Hi Luca,

Thanks for your input. Yes, you were right that there's another examples directory in /Applications/deal.II.app/Contents/Resources/Libraries/example. I tried building from there and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

Buhari.
