You can attach the logs as files, or upload them to an external server like Google Drive or Pastebin. Please include everything, starting from a `cmake` invocation in a clean directory. There are a lot of ways to set up the environment (as you yourself described with the fftw installation), so it is helpful to see it from the beginning till the end.

Also, [one of the things listed in the thread](https://gromacs.bioexcel.eu/t/failing-energy-minimization-with-2023-2-gcc-on-apple-silicon/7192/7) requires modifying GROMACS source code with a work-in-progress patch (hopefully to be part of the next, 2023.3, release). Have you applied that patch?
