[gmx-users] Tested and most compatible Gromacs version for Mac OS Leopard (10.5)

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

In principle, any Gromacs version will work on any Mac OS version, but the
problem lies in getting a compiler toolchain that works correctly. Stock
Apple compilers are based on clang, which doesn't support OpenMP, and would
be outperformed by gcc if the linker in the binutils supported AVX SIMD
(which it doesn't). You can probably build your own gcc toolchain that
works, but the most reliable path is to use the Intel compilers (which are
not free). And it gets more fun if you want CUDA support.
