Configure, Build and Install on Mac OS X

Basic dependencies

Each development environment is different. Fortunately, icedb has few dependencies.

Requirements:

• A C++ 2014-compatible compiler. This includes any recent versions of gcc/g++, LLVM/clang, or the Intel C++ compilers.
• CMake (generates the build scripts and finds library locations)
• NetCDF, HDF5, ZLIB (needed to store and read the database)
• git (it provides some information to the build system)
• Doxygen (optional; generates local html documentation of the library functions)

On MacOS, install XCode and Homebrew (https://brew.sh), then run

brew install netcdf doxygen hdf5 cmake git boost
