[Question]: Setup Issues on macOS: Missing jemalloc.h and FlexLexer.h

[swarnikaraj]

Describe your problem

I am trying to set up the project locally on macOS to contribute to the development.

I followed the instructions in the CMakeLists.txt file and installed all the dependencies using Homebrew. However, I am encountering errors related to missing jemalloc.h and FlexLexer.h files during the build process."

macOS version ( macOS 15.2)
Compiler version (Clang 19.1.7 installed via Homebrew)
CMake version (3.31.5)
Ninja version (1.12.1)
d. Share the Errors
Include the exact error messages you're encountering. For example:

"fatal error: 'jemalloc/jemalloc.h' file not found"
"fatal error: 'FlexLexer.h' file not found"
"fatal error: 'boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp' file not found"

Could you provide guidance on project locally on macOS ?
Are there any additional setup steps for macOS that are not documented?

Hi, currently Infinity can not be compiled under Mac due to jemalloc issues. Contributions are welcome!
However, previous version is OK, you could take a look on this issue, there are some dependencies to be installed.
