[Ifeffit] athena and artemis on Mac OS X 10.2

28 Aug 2002

      I have successfully installed the latest tarballs for athena and
artemis on Mac OS 10.2 (Jaguar) and thought I would share with the list
the necessary steps to do the installation.

0. Install 10.2 and the latest development tools (included with 10.2)
1. install the latest patch for xterm from the sourceforge site:
ceforge.net/projects/xonx/ and install Xfree86 4.2.0.1
2. rebuild the readline libraries within fink after updating from cvs
(I use the fink unstable branch)
3. recompile Tk after making the following modification:

   in Tk/MMutil.pm replace the subroutine const_config with the
following code:

sub const_config
{
  my $self = shift;
  my $name;
  foreach $name (grep /(%|\.(old|bak|q4|orig|rej))$/,keys %{$self->{PM}})
   {
    delete $self->{PM}->{$name};
   }
  my $flags = $self->{'CCCDLFLAGS'};
  $flags =~ s/(-[fK]?\s*)pic\b/${1}PIC/;
  $self->{'CCCDLFLAGS'} = $flags;
  if ($^O eq 'MSWin32' && $Config{'ccflags'} =~ /-DPERL_OBJECT/)
   {
    $self->{'LDFLAGS'} =~ s/-(debug|pdb:\w+)\s+//g;
    $self->{'LDDLFLAGS'} =~ s/-(debug|pdb:\w+)\s+//g;
   }
  elsif ($^O eq 'darwin' )
   {
    $self->{'LDDLFLAGS'} =~ s/-flat_namespace\s+//;
    $self->{'LDDLFLAGS'} =~ s/-undefined\s+suppress\s+//;
    if ( -e "$Config{'archlib'}/CORE/$Config{'libperl'}" ) {
     $self->{'LDDLFLAGS'} .= " -L\${PERL_ARCHLIB}/CORE -lperl ";
    }
    elsif ( -e "/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.dylib" ) {
     $self->{'LDDLFLAGS'} .= " -L/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE -lperl
";
    }
    else {
     warn "Can't find libperl.dylib";
    }
    $self->{'LDFLAGS'} =~ s/-flat_namespace\s+//;
    $self->{'LDFLAGS'} =~ s/-undefined\s+suppress\s+//;
   }
  elsif ($^O =~ /(openbsd)/i)
   {
    # -Bforcearchive is bad news for Tk - we don't want all of libpTk.a
in all .s
o-s.
    $self->{'LDDLFLAGS'} =~ s/-Bforcearchive\s*//g;
   }
  return $self->MM::const_config;
}

The only thing that is different is a new conditional block in a if
block, but I thought it would be easier just to copy and paste.  This
hack was taken from Bug's Macintosh Page at
http://www.lehigh.edu/~sol0/Macintosh/X/ptk/.  It turns out it is no
longer necessary to hack the dynamic library loader dylib.

After changing the subroutine const_config in MMutil.pm, mumble the
usual incantations:

  perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    sudo make install

4. rebuild the ifeffit source

    cd ifeffit/src/macosx
    make clean
    make
    sudo make install
    cd ../../wrappers/perl
    perl Makefiile.PL
    make
    sudo make install
    cd ../python
    sudo python setup.py install

5. Rebuild athena and artemis

   cd athena
   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   sudo make install

  cd artemis
  perl Makefile.PL
  make
sudo make install

You are done!

Caveats:   I (being perverse) have not done the installation exactly
this way.  I have compiled xfree86 4.2.99.1 from the online cvs sources
and have in addition installed perl 5.8.0.  This is a little more
complicated (but not much).  I also found that ifeffit was looking for
a library libg2c.a and made a symbolic link from
/usr/lib/gcc/darwin/2.95.2/libg2c.a to /usr/local/lib so that the
ifeffit compilation could proceed normally.  I am not sure if this step
is necessary for all.  I don't think perl 5.8.0 and the newest build of
Xfree86 are necessary (but on the other hand that is all I have and
can't check the alternatives).  The version of perl installed by 10.2
is still 5.6.

Any questions?   Send me email if you have problems and I will help if
I can.
