Building MED

Note that the tests don't compile on GCC 10 or GCC 7. Kind of concerning. Also we end up w/ MED using HDF5 @ 1.10 and VTK using 1.12... does this work?

mkdir build && \
pushd build && \
cmake -G Ninja \
  -DMEDFILE_BUILD_TESTS=OFF \
  -DHDF5_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/hdf5@1.10 ../ \
  && ninja \
  && ninja install

Run CMake

mkdir freecad-build
cd freecad-build
cmake ../freecad-source \
  -DBUILD_QT5=ON \
  -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/local/bin/python3 \
  -DHOMEBREW_PREFIX=/usr/local
make -j$(nproc --ignore=2)
