Dear all,

For my personal convenience, I started to add an homebrew formula
for
midas (*):
https://github.com/guiguem/homebrew-tap/blob/main/Formula/
midas.rb
It
is convenient in particular to deploy as it automatically gets all
the right
dependencies; for MacOS (**), there are bottles already available.

The
installation would then be
brew tap guiguem/tap
brew install midas

I
thought I
would share it here, if this is helpful to someone else (***).
This
was tested
rather extensively, including the development of manalyzer modules
using this
bottled version as backend.
A possible upgrade (if people are
interested) would
be to develop/deploy a "mainstream" midas version (and I would
rename mine
"midas-mod").

Cheers
Mathieu

Notes:
(*) The version installed
by this
formula is a very slightly modified version of midas, designed to
support more
than 100 front-ends (needed for HK).

I have the
recollection this
version might not be compatible with the main midas one. 

(**) I also have some
stuff for Ubuntu, but Ubuntu seems to do additional
linkage to curl which needs
to be handled (easy).
That being said the
installation from sources works fine!
(***) Some oddities were unraveled such as
the fact that the build_interface
pointing to the source include directory are
still appearing in the
midasConfig.cmake files (leading to issues in brew). This
was fixed by replacing
the faulty path to the final installation location. Maybe
this should be fixed ?
