Why such a odd location for third-party software? macOS users usually use either MacPorts or Homebrew for installing third-party software like GMP. MacPorts install on /opt/local. Homebrew install on /usr/local. I use MacPorts and tried several variants:

export ECLIPSETHIRDPARTY=/opt/local
export ECLIPSETHIRDPARTY=/opt/local/lib
export ECLIPSETHIRDPARTY=/opt/local/include

each after a make -f Makefile.$ECLIPSEARCH clean but got the same errors.  I'm also at:

$ port info gmp
gmp _at_6.1.2_1 (devel, math)

Are the old 4.1/4.2 versions required?

How exactly?

Does anyone in this mailing list succeeded to install ECLiPSE 7.x on macOS? If so, can you share the exact steps?

Thanks,
Paulo
