About Binary Packages

• These packages are built using Homebrew (in a Localbrew environment.)
• Homebrew is not required for users to run these binary packages.

Building Binary Packages

• To build from source using Homebrew / Localbrew on supported platforms:
   

  brew update
  brew tap reduce-algebra/reduce-algebra
  brew upgrade --verbose
  brew install reduce-static --only-dependencies --verbose
  brew install reduce-static --build-bottle --verbose
  package-reduce.sh

• On unsupported platforms, expert intervention will be necessary.
• Localbrew patches Homebrew to ensure that any dependencies built from source are optimized for the oldest CPU supported by the operating system, to ensure portability. If you are not using Localbrew, any dependencies that are not installed from bottles may not be portable. Consider using a utility such as efx86exts to verify binary compatibility with the intended target processor before distributing your packages.
