Is your branch on the PR branch of https://github.com/sagemath/sage/pull/39571 ? It should be for the current release.
I'll take the incremental testing approach. As a first set of questions: - On the Install from Source Code <https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html> page, the "macOS package installation" paragraph advises the installation of a long list of binary packages with Homebrew, e.g., 1. 1. brew install bdw-gc boost bzip2 cddlib cmake curl ecl flint fplll freetype... I presume that all the listed packages should be installed, if at all possible. Correct? They are recommended (to decrease the time building sage), but not required. - Such pkg installations often issue cautions and advice, e.,g. For compilers to find libffi you may need to set: export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/libffi/lib" export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/libffi/include" For pkg-config to find libffi you may need to set: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/libffi/lib/pkgconfig" ==> libiconv To what extent should the environment variables, etc., be modified in order to follow this advice? Let's ignore these now. Just install as many of the recommended system packages as possible, and ignore others that fail. - If I understand correctly, system binaries which fail to be installed during this preparation phase will be replaced by source from inside the repo (rts files?) which will be built during the compile phase (at the expense of increased build time). Correct? Yes The last question may provide an answer to my other question: How is it possible to do just the configure/make steps without the preparatory work to instal system binaries? At worst case everything will be built on the fly. Without the preparatory work (meaning "brew ..."), sage will build all necessary packages from source and install them into "SAGE_ROOT/local/" where SAGE_ROOT is where you cloned sage repo.
