[Xastir] OSX Build - long

[John Ronan]

Ok,


On OSX 10.7.2 (LION) I had to do this first (I've had the development environments already installed so X11 was all in place)

edit /usr/X11/include/freetype2/freetype

and comment out the following lines

/* #ifndef FT_FREETYPE_H */
/* #error "`ft2build.h' hasn't been included yet!" */
/* #error "Please always use macros to include FreeType header files." */
/* #error "Example:" */
/* #error "  #include <ft2build.h>" */
/* #error "  #include FT_FREETYPE_H" */
/* #endif */

For 10.7.2 AND 10.6.8 I had to do added the following patch to openmotif 2.3.3 (ignore the version no below)

--- openmotif-2.3.2.org/clients/uil/UilDefI.h	2004-11-18 08:54:32.000000000 +0000

 #include "UilSarDef.h"
-#if defined(linux)

 #endif
 #include "UilLexPars.h"

For 10.7.2 I had to do 
./configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11/lib LIBS=-lXft

For 10.6.8
./configure was ok

make 
make install

ImageMagick was fine
./configure
make
make install

I installed BerkeleyDB just now on 10.6.8

configured xastir with

../xastir/configure --without-ax25 --without-festival --without-gpsman --with-bdb-libdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.2/lib --with-bdb-incdir=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.5.2/include

For 10.7.2 I had to tell xastir where to find Magic-Config, but that's not really a big issue.. the openmotif issues above are more in-depth.

Thanks for the assistance, and hopefully this will save someone else time at some stage in the future.

Note that MacOS doesn't really look for shared libraries around the file system with the equivalent of /etc/ld.so.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH, rather having paths to the shared libraries contained within the binaries themselves.  You can change these paths with install_name_tool.
