#4100 On macOS, building Maxima has some issues
(1) On macOS, when building the development version of Maxima (commit:e00f35fdab73f13e7778c1da6972d99e6ce89384), the HTML documents are not created due to texinfo-7.0.x.
So texinfo-6.8 should be activated before building the Maxima.
$ port installed texinfo
The following ports are currently installed:
texinfo @6.8_1 (active)
texinfo @7.0.2_0
$
$ makeinfo --version
texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.8

$ sudo port install maxima-devel
(2) On macOS, executing run_testsuite() causes the following error:
$ maxima --quiet --batch-string='build_info(); run_testsuite();'

(3) An example of fixing #4046
https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/4046/#7b96
$ sudo port install maxima-devel
I think you can reproduce the issues and the example with the attached file.
(maxima-devel and texinfo-6.8 port are included. ccl-devel, ecl-devel, clisp-devel, gcl and sbcl are also included)
So please do the following steps:
(i) download the "MacPorts-Maxima-5.46.0+c.dmg" file into the "${HOME}/Downloads" directory.
(ii) enter the next command in order to remove the "quarantine" attribute of the "MacPorts-Maxima-5.46.0+c.dmg" file:
ls -lt@ ${HOME}/Downloads/MacPorts-Maxima-5.46.0+c.dmg
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ${HOME}/Downloads/MacPorts-Maxima-5.46.0+c.dmg
(iii) open the "MacPorts-Maxima-5.46.0+c.dmg" file and enter the next command:
sudo port selfupdate; sh /Volumes/MacPorts-Maxima/copy_portfiles.sh
Note: "copy_portfiles.sh" is a shell-script which copies new portfiles to the MacPorts directory. After that, when you execute "sudo port selfupdate", the copied portfiles are overwritten.
Hi Tomio, thanks for working on these issues. About item (2), I've modified rtest2.mac so that it should work correctly on macOS; please see commit [ d77299a ].
About items (1) and (3), those don't appear to be bugs, but they appear to be information which is useful to people working on macOS. Can I ask you to post those items to maxima-discuss?
I am closing this ticket as I think I have fixed the bug in item (2). In general my advice is to create a separate ticket for each topic, so that they can be handled one by one.
Thank you very much for your help! I really appreciate it.
Many thanks for your help!
Now, run_testsuite() prints "No unexpected errors".
Sorry, my description is not good enough.
The issue (1) is as follows:
I investigated the issue and gave up fixing it. So I will provide a texinfo-6.8 port file.
An example of the issue (1):
When using texinfo-7.0.2:
When using texinfo-6.8:
Current development of Maxima is active.
So I hope this ticket will help someone who is interested in the development version of Maxima.
The new attached file is an updated version.
Thanks you.
