Geneland installation on R (Mac) - r

Question

I am trying to install Geneland (from https://i-pri.org/special/Biostatistics/Software/Geneland/#Installation) on R version 3.5.1 on my Mac (Mojave 10.14.6).
I first add gcc issue, but followed this (https://nistara.net/post/compile-issues-r/) which did the trick and the installation could go further (gcc 9.2.0 installed via Brew).
However I am now stuck here:
> install.packages("~/Desktop/Geneland_4.0.8.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
* installing *source* package ‘Geneland’ ...

Warning in install.packages :

Would you have any idea how to solve this?
Thanks a lot in advance!
EDIT:
I was able to install Geneland by keeping only this line in the ~/.R/Makevars file:
FLIBS=-L/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/9.2.0/lib/gcc/9
I hope this will help others!

I was able to successfully install on Windows (R v3.5). However, I'm having similar issues installing on Mac:
install.packages("~/Desktop/Geneland_4.0.8.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")
* installing *source* package ‘Geneland’ ...
** using staged installation
** libs
gfortran -fPIC -Wall -g -O2 -c alarousset.f -o alarousset.o

Perhaps the creators of this package never tested on Mac or it was not designed to run on Mac (hopefully I'm wrong).
Also regarding gcc, I believe I have the latest version as per:
Jass-MacBook-Air:~ $ brew info gcc
gcc: stable 9.2.0 (bottled), HEAD
GNU compiler collection
https://gcc.gnu.org/
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/9.2.0 (1,462 files, 291.4MB)
