Homebrew packages for ccx and cgx for macOS

1

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:
