Cannot install FMM on mac M1 2020 : Could NOT find OpenMP_C (missing: OpenMP_C_FLAGS OpenMP_C_LIB_NAMES)

[natthab]

I am installing FMM on mac M1 2020 which I followed the instructions for mac (https://fmm-wiki.github.io/docs/installation/mac.html). However, at the step of the command line "cmake ..", I got an error

CMake Error at /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/share/cmake-3.23/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message): Could NOT find OpenMP_C (missing: OpenMP_C_FLAGS OpenMP_C_LIB_NAMES) Call Stack (most recent call first): /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/share/cmake-3.23/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:594 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/share/cmake-3.23/Modules/FindOpenMP.cmake:545 (find_package_handle_standard_args) CMakeLists.txt:68 (find_package)

Should I update or install any packages before cmake step ?

Thank You!

Perhaps there is some problem with the compiler. You can check some online resources

Same thing, the mac and linux install instructions don't work at all for me.

We also ran into this issue. Seems quite tricky to get it installed on Mac. Works well in Ubuntu WSL.

I overcame the OpenMP error by setting the following env variables (from this SO)[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48825416/missing-openmp-c-flags-openmp-c-lib-names]:

export CC=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang
export CXX=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/llvm/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/llvm/include"

I also had to install the following:

brew install llvm 
brew install swig 

Using python3.10 the cmake .. step succeeds. I'm now stuck on the make -j4 step with unhelpful errors. I know nothing about C++ which doesn't help!

This solution works for me
