Hi Jeff, I just got a MacPro (but don't have the Intel compiler). I was planning to try and hack a binary installer together in November using g95 (this month is all experiments and conferences). I do recall that there were some issues namely with gcc3 and gcc4 not liking each other very much. I would be grateful if you could pass along what you learned when you have time (unless you want to make the installer yourself in which case I can help you!)

Hi Jak,

We have had trouble doing this. The Intel compiler requires a bunch of libraries that need to be linked at runtime. We have not figured out all of them yet.

We are still working on a fix of some sort.

Ken McIvor and myself have gotten the full ifeffit, athena, etc. package working on the OS X Mactels. It is not a process recommend for the faint of heart. We are now going to try to figure out how to package the gaggle of files together into an installer of some sort.

I just wanted to give everyone an update on our progress.

Jeff

Great news. Thanks so much. We would be delighted to learn all of your discoveries/tricks in the near future. Francois-

If anyone would like to test the OS X Mactel version, please drop me an email and I will send you a link to it. The current version does not have an install which should be available as soon as I know that everything works. There are only a couple of files that need to be put in sensitive areas. The main program is drag and drop into the Applications folder. Once sure that everything works, we can make an installer for the couple of tough parts. Jeff

The test version is a bit too unwieldy at the moment. Also, it would be good to only risk a few computers at the start. I have tested it on only one fresh machine so I think that it works without the need to install anything else but it is hard to say for sure. At the moment, I think it will require keeping 2 versions, an x86 and a ppc. I don't think that it will be possible to make a universal binary out of this. They way that I set up the launcher it would be possible to point to multiple versions of the executables and could be bundled up that way. It would still be good to make sure that it works for a few other people before trying this. Jeff On Nov 24, 2006, at 3:43 PM, Matt Newville wrote:

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for all the work! I don't know any of the details of Apple's "Universal Binary". Do you (or Paul or anyone else here) know enough about this to figure out if it would be possible for Ifeffit? Making a binary installer for Mac (at least for PPC only) is pretty simple, and I'd imagine that they've made some effort to sort out the PPC v. x86 issues.

Also, would it be useful to put this "test Mactel" version on Sourceforge.net?

Thanks again,

--Matt
