Installing a C/C++ Compiler

Pyfhel requires a C/C++ compiler with C++17 support. We have tested: - gcc6 to gcc12 in Linux/MacOS/Windows WSL. To install:

  • Ubuntu: sudo apt install gcc g++

  • MacOS: brew install gcc. MacOS users must also set several environment variables by running:

```bash

# Brew installs GCC in /opt/homebrew/bin on Apple Silicon and /usr/local/bin on Intel. if [[ $(uname -m) = “arm64” ]]; then BREW_GCC_PATH=”/opt/homebrew/bin”; else BREW_GCC_PATH=”/usr/local/bin”; fi

# Set CC/CXX environment variables to the most recent GNU GCC export CC=”$BREW_GCC_PATH/$(ls $BREW_GCC_PATH | grep ^gcc-[0-9] | sort -V -r | head -n 1)” export CXX=”$BREW_GCC_PATH/$(ls $BREW_GCC_PATH | grep ^g++-[0-9] | sort -V -r | head -n 1)”

# Set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to avoid version mismatch warnings echo “MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=$(sw_vers -productVersion)” >> $GITHUB_ENV echo “MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=${{ env.MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET }}”

``` - MSVC2017 and MSVC2019 in Windows. To install:

  • Install Visual C++ Build tools (Download here <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170>, guide in here <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40504552>)
