Known Issues for Installation on MacBook with ARM processors

[Alex77]

Hello,

I am considering buying a new MacBook Pro and I wonder if any of you have already successfully installed FEAP on a Mac with an ARM processor or whether there are any known issues you came across?

I have already found this thread:

http://feap.berkeley.edu/forum/index.php?topic=2384.0

This sounds to me like an installation of FEAP should be possible without any major problems?

Thank you all!

I have not done it yet but it should work just fine.  The only issue that I am aware of is the issue whether or not the code is native M1 code or not.  When I checked about 6 months ago, the GNU compiler system was not yet set up to create M1 native executables.  Even if this is not the case, the code should still work, just not as efficiently as is theoretically possible.

Thank you Prof. Govindjee. I think I will give it a try then.
