ResInsight fail to compile on M1 Mac: Error linking OpenVDS library and others

[alex-codeMeOn]

ResInsight encounters an error during compilation on macOS-arm64 architecture while attempting to link the OpenVDS library. The error message mentions undefined symbols and suggests a problem with linking the library. I am compiling using gcc 13 and Qt5. Any suggestions or workarounds to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Probably, I need to build openVDS separately for MacOS to inject libopenvds.dylib.

This solves the problem with linking with openVDS.

Any clue on how to solve the linking problem with boost installed by vcpkg on M1 Mac will be appreciated.

Hi @alex-codeMeOn

Thanks for your interest in ResInsight. I am sorry, but the developers of ResInsight use either Windows or Linux. We do not have any system configured for MacOS.

Maybe someone else can help?
