[Enigma-devel] Re: Mac OS X fixes for 1.01

[Sidney Markowitz]

I'm no longer running 10.3 on a machine that I can build on. I can test
if something built on 10.4 will run on a 10.3 machine.

I have just built Enigma on a 32-bit Intel MacBook and it did run ok.
The enigma.dmg was a little more than half the size than the disk space
used by the app. Is there something else about the compression that I
don't know about? I built according to the instructions using make and
then mac macapp.

I don't see where it is doing anything to put the documentation into the
dmg it produces.

The resulting application is Intel only. I've forgotten the procedure to
make a Universal build of Enigma. Is that still a manual process? We
should add to REAME.macosx instructions for producing a universal build.
Until I can do that I can't test my build on a 10.3 machine, as I'm
building on Intel and running 10.3 on PPC.

I have attached a patch for doc/README.macosx that reflects my
experiences getting the latest svn trunk to build on my machine.

 for building Enigma. Neither have we tried the older version of Fink

-Note that you may need to follow step 6(a) below for building the
-static library libxerces-c.a even after installing Xerces-c from Fink
-or DarwinPorts. The default distribution of Xerces-c does not as of
-this moment provide for building a static library under MacOS.
+As of this writing, xerces-c is only in the unstable package tree of
+fink. The fink FAQ describes how to temporarily switch to using
+unstable so that you can install a package from there even though you
+are in general using the stable tree.
 
+The Fink install of Xerces-c does not build the static library
+libxerces-c.a so the following additional steps are necessary.
+
+1. If you have not yet installed xerces-c, install it and some
+associated packages using the -k option to keep the build directories
+for a later step:
+ 
+  fink -k install xerces-c xerces-c-dev xerces-c-shlibs
+
+If you already installed them, rebuild the using the -k option
+
+  fink -k rebuild xerces-c xerces-c-dev xerces-c-shlibs
+
+2. The xerces-c source tree can now be found under /sw/src/fink.build/
+in a directory that corresponds to the version of xerces that you
+installed. cd to it and set the XERCESCROOT environment variable as in
+the following example:
+
+  cd /sw/src/fink.build/ xerces-c-2.7.0-1002/xerces-c-src_2_7_0
+  export XERCESCROOT=`pwd`
+
+Put the following in an executable file in the
+$XERCESCROOT/src/xercesc directory, cd to that directory and run it,
+using sudo if fink is configured to always build as root.
+
+   #!/bin/sh
+   make -n XML_LIB_DIR=$XERCESCROOT/lib/dummy |
+     grep 'c++ .*\.dylib' |
+     tr \  \\n |
+     grep '\.o$' |
+     ( cd ../../obj ; xargs ar rcs $XERCESCROOT/lib/libxerces-c.a )
+   
+Then 
+
+    sudo cp $XERCESCROOT/lib/libxerces-c.a /sw/lib/
+    sudo ranlib /sw/lib/libxerces-c.a
+
 If you do use Fink or DarwinPorts, as long as the required additional
 libraries are consistently placed in the same directory, e.g.,
 /usr/fink/lib, then the Enigma build scripts should work. There will
