Note that starting from version 1.20.0-dev OpenModelica can be compiled again from sources on M1 and x86 Macs.

See here how to run OMEdit using docker on Mac. This allows all Mac users to run OpenModelica on their hardware. For this purpose, there are pre-built virtual machine images, available, that contain the Linux operating system and a pre-installed release of OpenModelica, ready to use. We also have problems with the testing infrastructure, because we can't run MacOS on virtual machines, only on actual Apple hardware.Ĭonsidering our limited resources, and the much lower number of downloads of MacOS builds, we had to take this decision, because the MacOS version kept breaking all the time and we simply do not have the resource to keep it fully functional.Īn alternative that is fast and works on all recent versions of OSX is to run OpenModelica inside Linux virtual machine. Newer MacOS versions are often incompatible with older ones, for example requiring new C++ standard library implementation, which is a problem for us because we rely on many open-source libraries and not all of them are readily updated, so we often end up in deadlock situations where we cannot actually compile OpenModelica for newer versions of MacOS.
The reason for that is that maintaining the MacOS version of OpenModelica requires much greater effort than the Windows and Linux versions. The Mac builds of OpenModelica were discontinued after version 1.16.
