Homebrew packages for ccx and cgx for macOS

For all macOS users, building current versions (2.22) of CalculiX CrunchiX (ccx) and CalculiX GraphiX (cgx) should now be much easier with the homebrew formulae provided by:

Some notes:

  • calculix-ccx comes with a multi-threading (MT) enabled build of SPOOLES and uses arpack-ng
  • calculix-cgx relies on XQuartz, which is also available on homebrew

I tested both packages on an Apple M2 Arm chip (see Add a formula for cgx (CalculiX GraphiX) by Durbul · Pull Request #8 · costerwi/homebrew-calculix · GitHub for an example).
Hope this helps some macOS users out there :slight_smile:
