Note that the tools are still highly experimental (due to lack of stable Fortran) so the arm build is also experimental and things may change as we go. R 4.1.0 has been released both for the Intel architecture (High Sierra build) as well as for arm64 (Big Sur build) - and more details on the latter in the Apple silicon section. For more information about alternative OpenMP options (as in older version) see the openmp page of this site.Īpple silicon update: it is now possible to build R for the Apple silicon arm64 architecture (new Macs with the M1 processor) - see our R developer blog post and the instructions in the R manual.
Please make sure you remove any modifications to build flags from your home since no custom compilers are used anymore. All dependent static libraries are available in the libs-4 directory. Starting with R 4.0.0 alpha we are building R using standard Apple tools (Xcode 12.4) and GNU Fortran 8.2 from fxcoudert and the target is macOS 10.13 (High Sierra).
