`Homebrew <https://brew.sh/>`_ can be used to conveniently install all
dependencies. The current Boost version, as of writing these instructions, is
1.70.0 but works so far. Do not forget to also install `boost-python`.
Before running CMake, an environment variable needs to be set on the command line. If omitted,
the linker will throw a bunch of warnings later:
.. code-block:: bash
export SDKROOT=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk
`Homebrew <https://brew.sh/>`_ can be used to conveniently install all packages
on macOS. Unfortunately, Qt4 is not (officially) supported on macOS Sierra (and
newer). Hence, it is not possible to build OpenStructure with GUI support there.
Homebrew installs all the software under /usr/local. Thus we have to tell cmake
where to find Boost and Python. Also the Python headers and libraries are not
located as they are on linux and hence they must be specified too:
