Description
I just discovered that Gmsh was available in MacPorts: this is great!
Could I suggest the following changes to the configuration when you upgrade to Gmsh 4.2.0, which we just released?
- remove the MPI dependency: MPI support is useless for regular users (it's only used internally for specific research projects)
- remove the PETSc and SLEPc dependencies: these are not necessary anymore, and the official Gmsh 4.2.0 release builds have also removed them
- if possible, enable OpenMP: meshing algorithms are now parallelized, and enabling OpenMP will benefit most users
Cheers,
Christophe

Thank you for the suggestions.
I did not remove MPI support because it is just a non-default variant.
To use, a user would have to specifically request it.
Similarly, support for SLEPc and PETSc is a non-default variant.
Please feel free to comment further if I have not addressed all of your concerns.
