macOS arm not supported ?

[aphecetche]

I'm trying to compile GENIE (master) on an Apple Mac M1, and it seems that is not supported (e.g. the Make.include does not list macosxarm64), and I get :

simulation🚀~/km3net/simulation/genie [configure-change-root-mathmore-detection] $ make

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `AlgConfigPool.', needed by `_ROOT_DICT_FwAlg.cc'.  Stop.
make: *** [framework] Error 2

which I'd attribute to a missing ObjSuf ...

Is there a plan to support that platform ?

And/or migrate to a more "modern" build system like CMake (just peeked around the mailing list and found a mention of it way back https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?A2=ind1602&L=NEUTRINO-MC-SUPPORT&P=R1920 but looking at the repo now I don't see any CMakeLists.txt lying around ? )

I also found the same issue with the latest MacOS( M3 ), Did you find any solution to this issue?

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

@JaydipSingh no, I unfortunately did not find a solution for this.

@aphecetche , Did you install it any other way?
