[maker-devel] Maker installation fails for MacOSX

[Carson Holt]

The problem is OSX. It has gradually moved out of compatibility with other Linux distributions over the years.  You will need to install developer tools like Xcode, and perhaps even try homebrew to try and get around certain differences in OSX behavior..


Homebrew —> https://brew.sh
Brewsci/bio (science packages) -> https://github.com/brewsci/homebrew-bio

After that 'brew install maker’ might work (cross your fingers).

I have even tried to install these programs manually but Maker continues to fail to detect these packages or fails to install them properly. I did try using ./build package-name as well but to no avail. I ran ./Build installexes and ./Build installdeps but they constantly fail for those three programs only and I cannot find a solution online.

I have checked online sources for these programs but then I run into the issue where configuring Maker does not seem to find these three programs if I install it separately, so I am stuck at this step.
