[Xastir] Xastir is running on OSX

[Tom Hayward]

I've been working on getting Xastir running on OSX as well. I've been
documenting steps and will hopefully have a complete wiki install
guide posted once I get everything working.

I got dbfawk (according to About Xastir anyway...haven't transferred
and tested maps yet) with fink.

Download and install: http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php?phpLang=en

Then ran: sudo apt-get install imagemagic pcre db42 lcms proj gdal
libpng libxml2

I got "couldn't find package" errors from gdal and libpng. It
suggested libpng3 and libpng-shlibs--which of these is appropriate for
Xastir? What should I do about gdal (and what features will I miss
without it)?

Xastir isn't finding imagemagic, although it's installed at /sw/bin/
which is in my PATH. What can I do about this?

With these dependencies installed and using ./configure
--with-motif-includes=/usr/OpenMotif/include/ I'm only getting
"Libraries used: libProj ShapeLib PCRE Dbfawk rtree libcurl @(#)Motif
Version 2.2.2i (2.1.32)". How can I link the rest?

Xastir on OSX seems to be gaining popularity lately. I'm eager to nail
down a complete install process that can be duplicated.
