Question

1. Is it possible to configure and make ior 4.0.0 on macOS running on the M3?
2. Is it possible to use different LDFLAGS to for make to build ior 4.0.0 on macOS running on the M3?

Description

Hello everyone,

I am currently on a new work device, the MacBook Air with the M3 chip. I tried to build ior 4.0.0, but the make process fails at the end throwing an error. The error, as mentioned in the headline, apparently relates to the clang linker (see full make output in the Make Output section).

Configure Output

Running configure as mentioned in the installation guide results in the following output:

(base) airuserworkdevice ior-4.0.0 % ./configure

To Reproduce

I set up brew and anaconda to download

• gawk
• python3.12
• mpi4py
• openmpi

According to the terminal output running clang --version

• Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.3.9.4)
• Target: arm64-apple-darwin23.5.0
• Thread model: posix
• InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

The OS and version

• ProductName: macOS
• ProductVersion: 14.5

Info

There is a post from an apple engineer explaining some terminology, also mentioning a new 'ld', which was introduced with Xcode 15. An Apple Library Primer. The main apple page for clang listing all supported features Apple Clang.
