Hi Thomas, libgomp is supported on darwin,

No, not quite, since the aarch64 port is not yet upstreamed (which is needed for the Mx chips). However, if that host has ROSETTA2 installed, it is possible to build x86_64-apple-darwinNN (NN depending on what OS version is installed). If you decide to do that, I can provide a short set of instructions to avoid hassles. ==== Failing that, you can checkout the aarch64 development branch: https://github.com/iains/gcc-darwin-arm64 which is usually within a few days of tip-of-trunk. ==== In either case : * Since darwin no longer supports installing headers and library stubs into / you also need to provide a sysroot to the configure: —with-sysroot=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk should work if the command line tools are installed, which I believe they are if the machine has a homebrew install (it did last time I looked). * you should configure for a specific darwin version —build=<arch>-apple-darwinNN (since darwin GCC supports multiple OS versions) I don’t know if that machine has an installation of GCC that would be suitable for bootstrap - but clang should work fine (unless you want to build Ada or D). I recommend appending CC=clang CXX=clang++ to the configure (since xcode clang claims to be gcc but does not support modern gcc, it is safer to be explicit) ======= from the detailed section…. > Per 'libgomp/configure.ac': > > # Check for broken semaphore implementation on darwin. > # sem_init returns: sem_init error: Function not implemented. > case "$host" in > *-darwin*) > AC_DEFINE(HAVE_BROKEN_POSIX_SEMAPHORES, 1, > Define if the POSIX Semaphores do not work on your system.) > ;; I think one might want to check that this is really still true - pthreads behaviour has improved in recent years. ===== barring the configure extras and needing to use lldb for debugging, the behaviour of gcc on darwin should be quite familiar. ===== If you just need a branch testing .. you can also ask me and I can cover a wider range of OS versions. If you need to do development, then obviously it’s better to use the cfarm machine. Iain
