Installation on Mac OS X

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hi,
I'm trying to install OctPlot on Mac OS X, but can't seem to compile (v 0.4.0).
I get the following error mesg. There doesn't seem to be a directory GL or file glu.h
is there a patch I need ??
R.

I can't help much since I have zero OS X experience. I seems you are missing the glu.h header file

googling for "os x glu" turned this up:

If your OpenGL program has the include library <GL/glut.h>, change this to <GLUT/glut.h> for Mac OS X. If you are including <gl.h> and/or <glu.h>, you'll need to change them to <OpenGL/gl.h> and/or <OpenGL/glu.h>

Also, try searching for the file glu.h in you disk

I get the same error on PowerBook (Mac OS X 10.4.10). I do have glu.h in several locations:

locate glu.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/AGL.framework/Versions/A/Headers/glu.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Headers/glu.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glu.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/AGL.framework/Versions/A/Headers/glu.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Headers/glu.h
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glu.h
/System/Library/Frameworks/AGL.framework/Versions/A/Headers/glu.h
/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Headers/glu.h
/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glu.h

So: any ideas to fix this problem?

Cheers

Hi Matthias,

Just noticed your  post. I was the originator of this thread. Here's what I did to get OctPlot to work. I had some troubles with my Fink install. I've since deleted my Octave install and reinstalled Octave. Thus, I no longer have OctPlot installed an running.

If you are successful, please let us know.

Current state on Macbook Pro (Intel) running OS X 10.4.10 with Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/)

Fink is used to satisfy the "prerequests"

fink list octave
i   octave           2.9.12-3     Matlab-like language for computations
i   octave-forge     2006.03.17-  Extensions to octave
fink list fltk
i   fltk-x11         1.1.6-11.1   GUI toolkit
i   fltk-x11-shlibs  1.1.6-11.1   Runtime code for fltk-x11
fink list freetype
i   freetype219        2.2.1-4    TrueType font rendering library, headers
i   freetype219-shlibs 2.2.1-4    TrueType font rendering library, shared libs
fink list ghostscript
i   ghostscript          8.56-1      Interpreter for PostScript and PDF
i   ghostscript-fonts    8.11-3      Standard fonts for Ghostscript
i   x-ghostscript-fonts  20020206-3  Allows ghostscript fonts to be used within X-windows

Below is the sequence I used to install an *almost* working octplot

(1) change src/patch.cpp
< #include <GL/glu.h>
> #include <OpenGL/glu.h>

(2) change highlevel/axis.m to set return variable

< endfunction
> _ax = ax;
> endfunction

(3) ./configure

(4) make

(5) chmod 755 install-sh

(6) sudo mkdir -p /sw/lib/octave/2.9.12/site/octplot-0.4.0/fonts/

(7) sudo mkdir -p /sw/share/octave/2.9.12/site/m/octplot/

(8) sudo make install

BTW, did you try the lates svn source?
The relevant change is the chaging of the line giving you trouble in patch.cpp to
#include <FL/glu.h>

This might solve the problem since fltk should run fine on OSX

please try and report sucess/failure
