I recently found a hack to make LROSE work on MacOS Catalina. So, I just thought of posting it here in case it helps others. I haven’t tried it for MacOS Big Sur or MacOS Monterey but it may as well work on those too.
The problem: While trying to install the latest LROSE release (at the time of writing this post), I was getting the following error message:

Solution that worked for me:
Following the suggestions posted on this stackoverflow link, I edited the /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/include/c++/v1/cmath file by
commenting out #include <math.h>
and replace it with
#include</Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/include/c++/v1/math.h>
Then, just the usual brew install lrose-core.rb command should work fine.
