    v19 v20  
    4343Until 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.

    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]. Please check ticket [https://trac.openmodelica.org/OpenModelica/ticket/6306 #6306] if you still want to try building OpenModelica on MacOS yourself.

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 stop providing builds of OpenModelica for macOS. It is still possible to run OpenModelica on the Mac by running a virtual machine with a Linux installation of OpenModelica, see the instructions on the [https://openmodelica.org/download/download-mac Mac download page]. We are still trying to make it possible to build OpenModelica from sources on macOS, please check ticket [https://trac.openmodelica.org/OpenModelica/ticket/6306 #6306] for the latest updates and if you want to contribute to the effort. However, we do not guarantee this will be always possible in the future.
