doesn't easily install on Mac OS

[eboyden]

I had trouble installing this on Mac OS (10.14.6) due to Apple clang not supporting OpenMP by default, so I got the error message when I ran 'make':

clang: error: unsupported option '-fopenmp'

So a more Mac-friendly installer or a pre-compiled binary would be appreciated.

Eric,

Thanks for the interest, and sorry about the difficulties. Unfortunately, NGmerge is supported on Linux only. I do not have a Mac and so cannot assist at all.

I was able to get this working by installing libomp from homebrew:

brew install libomp

Then modifying makefile's CFLAGS:

CFLAGS?=-Xpreprocessor -fopenmp -lomp
