Compile source code for Mac

To compile the source code on Mac the correct compiler is required (e.g. gcc@7, https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/gcc@7). The compiler can for example be installed using Homebrew. More information about Homebrew can be found here: https://brew.sh/index. To install the compiler using Homebrew use the following code from the terminal (bash):

brew install gcc@7

After installing the compiler CompileMac.sh can be called within the SourceCode/madingley folder to compile to code from the terminal. The source code can be downloaded here.

cd path/to/SourceCode/madingley/
sh CompileMac.sh

Next, move the created executable, which can be found in a newly created folder called dist_{dateoftoday}_mac (inside SourceCode/madingley), into the MadingleyR package library (e.g. into path/to/pacakge/library/MadingleyR/mac_exec). The following R code can be used to obtain the path of the MadingleyR library (function is part of the MadingleyR pacakage):
