Failure linking against OpenMP on macOS

[Joris Vankerschaver]

When using the CMake build scripts on macOS, FindOpenMP detects and enables OpenMP via the -Xclang -fopenmp flags, but this fails at linking time:

Apparently, Apple's clang has compiler support for OpenMP, but does not ship with the required libraries to actually provide the functionality (that's at least what I got from https://mac.r-project.org/openmp/).

Given that OpenMP support isn't strictly necessary for Parasail as a library, would it be possible to provide a build time flag to explicitly turn off OpenMP support? Something along the lines of

OPTION( WITH_OPENMP "Enable OpenMP (if supported by the compiler)" ON )
IF(WITH_OPENMP)
  INCLUDE( FindOpenMP )
ENDIF()

Compiler:

Apple clang version 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.11)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin20.6.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

This is on an Apple M1, with macOS 11.5.2.
