[geomview-users] MacPorts port for Geomview

[Raphael S. <ra...@ir...>]

Dear Geomview users,

I submitted a Geomview port and some ports for Geomview modules to  
the MacPorts project <http://www.macports.org/>. So, a simple "port  
install geomview" installs Geomview (together with all its  
dependencies) on Mac OS X.

You can have a look at the port files (i. e. the build instructions)  
and included patches (in "files") on:
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ 
science/geomview>
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ 
science/gvemod-cplxview>
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ 
science/gvemod-crayola>
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ 
science/gvemod-labeler>
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ 
science/gvemod-ndview>
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ 
science/gvemod-xforms-example>
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ 
science/gvemodules-xforms>
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ 
science/maniview>
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/ 
science/orrery>

Most of the patches deal with the fact that current Mac OS X  
installations use a case-insensitive file system as default. Another  
patch for Geomview eliminates a slowdown when loading large files on  
Mac OS X. I hope these patches could be considered for future  
Geomview versions.

Feel free to contact me, if you have any problems or any ideas for  
improvement.

Regards,
	Raphael
