[Ifeffit] Mac installer for 10.4 with horae-048

[Stefano Ciurli]

Matt,

>(though  I do not understand how that happened, as a horae_update

well... I think I installed from source and then I upgraded it using 
horae_update. Everything went well until I updated the OSX to 10.4. 
After that, I "think" but I am not really sure, that I tried the dmg 
installer for 10.4 and so I am afraid that that could be the problem. 
On top of this, the horae_updtate did not work any more and so I 
deleted (...) the Ifeffit folder from my applications folder...

I just tried to rebuild from source doing the following:

Procedure to install Ifeffit, Athena, Artemis etc on a Powerbook G4 
running the latestversion of Mac OSX 10.4.3 (Tiger)

1) Remove the /sw directory
2) Install Fink
a. Go to http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php?phpLang=en 
and follow instructions 1-4
b. Run the command: fink scanpackages; fink index
c. update fink by running: fink selfupdate. When prompted, select 
option (1), "rsync". This will automatically update the fink package
3) Install additional programs
a. fink install g77
4) Install additional programs in the Fink unstable branch:
a. edit /sw/etc/fink.conf, add unstable/main  and unstable/crypto to 
the Trees: line, and then run fink selfupdate; fink index; fink 
scanpackages.
5) install the Ifeffit binary from ifeffit-1.2.5a_Mac10.3.dmg
6) install Perl/Tk from source
a. download Tk-804.027.tar.gz from a CPAN site: wget 
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/NI-S/Tk-804.027.tar.gz
b. unpack Tk-804.027: tar xvzf Tk-804.027.tar.gz
c. change line 2809 of pTk/mTk/tixGeneric/tixHList.c  from '#if 0' to '#if 1'
d. build Perl/Tk: perl Makefile.PL ; make


At this point I get the following error message:

cd pTk && make DEFINE=""
cc -c  -I.. -I/usr/X11R6/include -I. -Ibitmaps -I/usr/X11R6/include

make[1]: *** [tixHList.o] Error 1
make: *** [pTk/libpTk.a] Error 2

Paul... where are you??? :-)
I am sure someone will be able to guide me through this winding road...
