netgen dependency error

[sslupsky]

Trying to install the netgen dependency and I am getting an error. I am attempting to set up a development environment in macOS following the instructions here:
https://freecad.github.io/DevelopersHandbook/gettingstarted

and the installation of the dependencies described here:
https://wiki.freecad.org/Compile_on_MacOS

When I attempt the installation of netgen, I see the following error:

I am installing on macOS 14.6.1. Not sure why it is attempting to download a big_sur bottle?

you could try building netgen from source, and not sure why it's trying to install the big sur bottle.

try something like,

brew search netgen
brew install netgen -v

i haven't updated the formula in a while though, and there may be a newer version of netgen available.

Not showing when I do a brew search. Netgen only appears in the freecad tap. Found it in the NGSolve repo.

I found a cmake switch to turn off the Netgen build for the time being and was able to compile it.

Is there progress here ? What's the workflow ?

could you please elaborate on your question? ie. are you attempting to install freecad using brew install ?

I was attempting to compile freecad because of another issue I had and encountered where drawing a bspline in sketcher caused FreeCAD to crash.

FreeCAD/FreeCAD#16729

The compile issue was resolved using the cmake switch. The result was that I could draw a bspline without crashing FreeCAD. I found a work around of sorts by drawing a line or arc and then converting the arc to a bspline. I could then edit and manipulate the bspline without crashing FreeCAD.
