Compiling OpenSees for MacOS Catalina 10.15

[gastonf]

Dear OpenSees Community,

I would like to ask your support to solve the following issue. I'm trying to compile OpenSees from source in my Macbook Pro with MacOS Catalina 10.15.1. After forking the source from GitHub, and cloning to my computer, I faced the following problems:

The OpenSees folder was located in /Users/MyUserName/Documents/Github/OpenSees after cloning. From this location, I received several error messages, which I attribute to the fact that Makefile.def is pointing the source to /Users/MyUserName/OpenSees. I don't know if I can compile anywhere else in my directory. To circumvent this problem, I moved the source to /Users/MyUserName/OpenSees.

Then, I received the error that folder /Users/MyUserName/OpenSees/OTHER/SuperLU_4.1/ is missing. Indeed, this folder is not present in the version I forked from GitHub. So, I modified the Makefile.def file as follows:

SUPERLU_DISTdir = $(HOME)/OpenSees/OTHER/SuperLU_DIST_2.5/SRC

Now, I receive one fatal error message related to SuperLU and other missing files

I used Makefile.def.MacOS10.8 as a template, and made the modifications described above. Attached you can find the terminal output for reference.
