We normally build these locally on a Mac. We use g++ installed via homebrew. So, for g++ version 7, we would:

git clone https://github.com/UCL-RITS/research-computing-with-cpp
cd research-computing-with-cpp
CC=gcc-7 CXX=g++-7 ./build.sh

The explicit compiler selection is needed on Mac OS for OpenMP (and possibly MPI) examples to build. Update the version number as necessary.

You will need to have a bunch of stuff installed in order for the build to succeed. For Mac:

• Libraries:
  • brew install boost
• For building MPI and OpenMP examples:
  • brew install open-mpi
  • brew install gcc
• Ruby stuff:
  • brew install ruby
  • gem install liquid
  • gem install jekyll --version '~> 3.0' (redcarpet does not work with Jekyll 4.0 onwards)
  • gem install redcarpet
• Other utilities:
  • brew install wget
• Python libraries:
  • matplotlib (plus several other scientific python libraries)

Then in folder _site, you'll have the html's. Or, for a shortcut: make preview

See https://github.com/UCL-RITS/research-computing-with-cpp/blob/master/01cpp/index.md for an example of how to reference a C file, CMake file, and run an executable
