Hi,

I should start out by saying I am far from being an expert at installing things, essentially I know how to type "configure", "make" and "make install"…

I am having trouble with the Configure portion of the compilation process. I am trying to install it on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.6.

I successfully installed Macport and used it to install tcl, tk, zlib, xz utils, libpng, itcl, itk and iwidgets. I could not install tklib with it so I followed a link on a previous post here and installed it from source. I also downloaded and installed io_lib-1.12.4.

When I run config I get the following:

bash-3.2$ ./configure --with-samtools="/opt/local/bin"  --with-lzma="/opt/local/bin" --with-libpng="/opt/loca/lib"  --with-tklib="/opt/local/lib"

I don't understand the warnings because I'm pretty sure everything is installed and of course I don't understand the final error, because I installed tklib…

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
Riki

Hi Riki

You need the tklib-package found here:
If you have already installed it, just confige with: configure -with-tklib=

Good luck

Hi Riki

Good luck

I did download and compile the tklib, and tried to configure with the option -with-tklib=/opt/local/lib. I assume that this is the correct path because that's where Macport installed tcl and from the config.log file resulting from the ./configure. This is the result on my tklib-0.5 folder:

I also tried  -with-tklib=/usr/local/lib and got the same error…

Help!

Okay, I was able to get a little further: with the command

./configure  --with-iwidgets=/opt/local/lib/iwidgets  --with-itk=/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_itk/work/itk3.3/  --with-itcl=/opt/local/lib/itcl3.3 --with-tklib=/usr/local/lib/tklib0.5

I had to dig out the location of iwidgets and specially of itk(!)…

Still, now I can't make. I get loads of errors. Here's the last few lines:

Any help?

Hi Riki,

It is the kind of error messages you get with missing parentheses or semicolons.  Not the kind of error that should appear here.

I need to see more of the make output to work out what is going on.  Either post it here or send it to me directly at aw7 at sanger ac uk.

Andrew

Just for the record; from the make output it looks like the same X11 problem as this https://sourceforge.net/projects/staden/forums/forum/347718/topic/3648572.

Andrew

You know, after several hours on this, I gave up, installed VirtualBox on my Mac with Ubuntu and ran gap4 from there.

Sorry to hear that. However hopefully the news is good for the future. I've been working hard on improving portability, including MacOS X and Windows builds.  I can't say when this will be released (although it's all in SVN right now if anyone wants to try it out), but I'd like to also provide prebuilt binaries with the next version to hopefully avoid problems of compiling software.

James

James,

I have been trying to compile Staden for days now and I am getting the exact same problems described here. If you need access to a machines running 10.6, please let me know, I can fix that for you. I would really, really like to solve this issue as we do need Staden in our work.

Rodolfo Aramayo
Texas A&M University

That could be useful, thanks. I only have remote access to a Mac running MacOS 10.5.8 (uname -a claims Darwin 9.8) and it seems to build OK there.

I have made a lot of changes in subversion though to simplify the build process, including on Macs. It's worth trying an export for there to test it. Alternatively I could produce 10.5 binaries which I think ought to run on 10.6. (So far I haven't bundled it together into a standalone release yet on anything except MS Windows.)

Note that the MacOS X version still requires X11, so the native aqua-Tk won't work and attempting to compile against it produces all sorts of strange errors (including some of the above ones). It's unlikely I'd ever find the time for a "native" port.

James

James,

In that case. please send me a private email at:

raramayo@tamu.edu

And we will make the necessary arrangements

Thanks

-Rodolfo

Hi Rodolfo,

Would you keep me posted about any breakthrough? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

-Riki

Thanks to Rodolfo I've pretty much got an X11 based compile of the Staden Package working under MacOS X 10.6 now. It needed a small tweak to io_lib too. I experimented a bit with a native aqua build too using the aqua Tk, and got it to compile and run, but there are several bugs and issues. I think also it's just not well suited to the native aqua design. Menus at the top of the screen are all well and good for well behaved "Apple-like" applications, but not for programs that expect to have lots of sub-windows each with their own menus.

I'm hoping I can release a new version in source form for unix, mac and windows next week. This will be followed soon after by prebuilt binaries.

James

Oh one more thing to add, the errors quoted much earlier in this thread indicate the source of error: using the native aqua tk frameworks instead of X11 builds of tcl/tk (as avaialble via MacPorts). Ie this is wrong:

Tcl: via /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh
Tk: via /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/tkConfig.sh

Instead we want something like:

  $ ../configure --prefix=/Users/jbonfield/install --with-io_lib=/Users/jbonfield/install --with-tklib=/usr/local/tklib/lib/tklib0.5 --with-lzma=/opt/local --with-png=/opt/local --with-tcl=/opt/local/lib --with-tk=/opt/local/lib
...
Tcl:       via /opt/local/lib/tclConfig.sh
Tk:        via /opt/local/lib/tkConfig.sh
tklib:     /usr/local/tklib/lib/tklib0.5

With that, and the current version copied out of SVN, it should build for more or less anyone.
