BigMac contains a series of CMake variables that facilitate compiling C/C++ code on macOS using the default clang compiler.

BigMac requires the following:

• XCode : The default IDE for macOS. Needed for developer libraries. Should already be installed, but you may need to update it.

• Command Line Tools : These are the default macOS compilers etc.. You can install these by running the following in a terminal.

  $ xcode-select --install

• Homebrew : Package manager for macOS. You can install this by running the following in a terminal.

  $ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

  If you already have Homebrew installed. Be sure to make sure it is up to date.

  $ brew update

BigMac can be installed using Homebrew as follows.

$ brew tap sfarrens/sf $ brew install bigmac

This is recommended as it will also install all of the required dependencies.

BigMac can be installed manually as follows.

$ git clone https://github.com/sfarrens/bigmac.git $ cd bigmac $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. $ make install

If you install BigMac manually, you will also need to manage all dependencies yourself.

To take advantage of BigMac simply include the following in your CMake project.

find_package(BigMac REQUIRED)

This will provide all of the variables described below. Additionally, by providing the flag --log-level=VERBOSE, you can get a report of your system setup. e.g.

$ cmake --log-level=VERBOSE

This should provide something like the following.

-- BigMac Status -- - macOS Version: 12.6 -- - Chip: Apple M1 Max -- - Darwin Version: 21.6.0 -- - XCode Version: 14.0 -- - Homebrew Version: 3.6.6 -- - libomp Version: 15.0.3 -- - Compiler: Clang -- - Compiler Version: 14.0.0.14000029 -- - Which CC: /usr/bin/clang -- - Which CXX: /usr/bin/clang++ -- BigMac -> Setting OpenMP variables for Clang -- - BigMac_CPPFLAGS -Xclang -fopenmp -- - BigMac_OPENMP_CFLAGS -lomp -- - OpenMP_INCLUDE_PATH /opt/homebrew/opt/libomp/include -- - OpenMP_LIB_PATH /opt/homebrew/opt/libomp/lib -- - OpenMP_C_FLAGS -Xclang -fopenmp -lomp -- - OpenMP_CXX_FLAGS -Xclang -fopenmp -lomp -- - OpenMP_C_LIB_NAMES omp -- - OpenMP_CXX_LIB_NAMES omp -- - OpenMP_C_LIBRARIES /opt/homebrew/opt/libomp/lib/libomp.dylib -- - OpenMP_CXX_LIBRARIES /opt/homebrew/opt/libomp/lib/libomp.dylib -- - OpenMP_omp_LIBRARY /opt/homebrew/opt/libomp/lib/libomp.dylib -- - OpenMP_C_VERSION 15.0.3 -- - OpenMP_CXX_VERSION 15.0.3 

• BigMac_MACOS : macOS version
• BigMac_CHIP : Apple chip type
• BigMac_DARWIN : Darwin version
• BigMac_XCODE : XCode version
• BigMac_BREW : Homebrew version
• BigMac_LIBOMP : libomp version

• BigMac_CPPFLAGS : CPPFLAGS for external projects (e.g. FFTW, NFFT).
• BigMac_OPENMP_CFLAGS : OPENMP_CFLAGS for external projects (e.g. FFTW, NFFT).
• OpenMP_INCLUDE_PATH : Path to OpenMP headers.
• OpenMP_LIB_PATH : Path to OpenMP Libraries.
• OpenMP_C_FLAGS : OpenMP compiler flags for C, separated by spaces.
• OpenMP_CXX_FLAGS : OpenMP compiler flags for C++, separated by spaces.
• OpenMP_C_LIB_NAMES : List of libraries for OpenMP programs for C.
• OpenMP_CXX_LIB_NAMES : List of libraries for OpenMP programs for C++.
• OpenMP_C_LIBRARIES : A list of libraries needed to link with OpenMP code written in C.
• OpenMP_CXX_LIBRARIES : A list of libraries needed to link with OpenMP code written in C++.
• OpenMP_omp_LIBRARY : Location of the individual libraries needed for OpenMP support.
• OpenMP_C_VERSION : OpenMP version implemented by the C compiler.
• OpenMP_CXX_VERSION : OpenMP version implemented by the C++ compiler.

• BigMac_FFTW : Flags needed to build FFTW as an external project.
• BigMac_NFFT : Flags needed to build NFFT as an external project.

For the following OpenMP Hello World example.

#include <stdio.h> #include <omp.h> int main(int argc, char** argv){ #pragma omp parallel { printf("Hello from process: %d\n", omp_get_thread_num()); } return 0; }

You would include the following in your CMake project.

find_package(BigMac REQUIRED) set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS ${OpenMP_CXX_FLAGS}) add_executable(hello_world src/hello_world.cpp)

# Download and build FFTW ExternalProject_Add(fftw URL http://www.fftw.org/fftw-3.3.8.tar.gz URL_HASH 8aac833c943d8e90d51b697b27d4384d CONFIGURE_COMMAND ./configure CC=${CMAKE_C_COMPILER} CXX=${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER} ${BigMac_FFTW}  BUILD_COMMAND make INSTALL_COMMAND make install )

Copy and paste the following in your project README.md to show your support for BigMac.
