ReleaseNotes/1.17.0
v17 v18 43 43 Until version 1.16.x, OpenModelica was built on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The core functionality of the tool is implemented in Linux, and is ported to Windows using the MinGW environment, and on macOS using the [https://www.macports.org/ macports] environment. 44 44 45 Unfortunately, many libraries OpenModelica depends on are not regularly updated on macports, which caused the Mac build to break every other day. Given our limited resources, we can't take on the burden of the required macports maintenance, so we regret to inform you that we decided to discontinue the direct support of the macOS port. It is still possible to run OpenModelica on the Mac by running a virtual machine with a Linux installation of OpenModelica. You can find detailed instructions and a video tutorial on the [https://openmodelica.org/download/download-mac Mac download page]. 45 Unfortunately, many libraries OpenModelica depends on are not regularly updated on macports, which caused the Mac build to break every other day.
