DOLFINx Install on MacOS

installation
1

Hello all,

I have been attempting to install the DOLFINx, basix, ffcx, and ufl packages from source without the use of docker. I saw on old discourse threads that it is theoretically possible by git cloning each of these and then using cmake or python to install.

I followed the general format below for cmake files

git clone https://github.com/FEniCS/basix.git
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-11 
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-11
make install

I have been able to get various dependencies such as hdf5-mpi, mpi4py, scotch, and adios2 through similar means. Some were brew installed and others were downloaded using cmake. I know that I have ffcx, basix, and ufl working, but the only one left is DOLFINx which manages to make it to 100% before the following error is encountered

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

Hi ia267

Would please tell me how did you install c++ core on an environment and then Dolfinx on it?
I got stuck.
