[aspect-devel] ASPECT on Mac

[Timo Heister]

Yes, the installation of linux software on mac with many dependencies
is a pain. Max does have a point that you can do many things with a
virtual machine. If you want to install deal.II, you might be
interested in using the parallel binary mac os packages. If they work
(again, depends on what other things you have installed on your
mac...), installation is very easy (no need to install trilinos,
p4est, etc.).

I think the whole process took almost 2 days and at that point deal.ii still wasn’t passing all of the benchmarks.  I was able to run convection benchmarks successfully, but it was still far from ideal.
