another OSX install problem

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I'm on a new Intel based Mac with Fink installed. Fink appears (?) to have all the dependencies available. At least it ./configure was successful. However, I'm concerned about freetype.

i   fltk-x11                          1.1.6-11.1                GUI toolkit
i   fltk-x11-shlibs               1.1.6-11.1                Runtime code for fltk-x11

i   freetype219                       2.2.1-4                   TrueType font rendering library, headers
i   freetype219-shlibs            2.2.1-4                   TrueType font rendering library, shared libs

(i)  octave                            2.9.12-3                     Matlab-like language for computations
i   octave-forge                  2006.03.17-1004       Extensions to octave

When I run make ...

patch.cpp: In member function 'virtual void Patch::draw()':

Any ideas?

Hi

The problem lies in the the file src/glutesscb.h

If you look at it, it has 3 possibilities for the definition of the typedef acording to OS.

It seems you should be geting the first definition (i.e. you do not have __APPLE_CC__ defined). Try the other definitions to see which one works -- just copy the appropriate line to the bottom of the file w/o the ifdef (i.e. copy line 23 to the end of the file).

1) Please report what worked for you
2) Also, since the current file seemd to wok up to now (I'm not sure since we don't have that many apple users), can you try to find a differentiating "define" -- some other define which you have on your system and which I can put in the ifdef

Thanks
Shai

[Ben Abbott]

ok, after some experimenting it appears that __APPLE_CC__ is defined, at least there was no change when removed the if block and replaced it with ...

using: typedef GLvoid (*GLUTesselatorFunction)(...);

WIth regards to a differentiating "define", I'll discuss that with a friend who is more expert than I.

Thanks for the quick response.

[Shai Ayal]

Thank you for helping to debug. I have several questions:

1) did you also try the third definition:

typedef GLvoid (CALLBACK *GLUTesselatorFunction)( );

2) Do I understand correctly from your post when using
typedef GLvoid (*GLUTesselatorFunction)();
src/patch.cpp compiled fine but src/FTGL/FTVectoriser.cpp did not? to confirm this, please do
ls -ltr src/patch.*
and confirm that patch.o is older than patch.cpp

Sorry for my late reply. I tried posting yesterday, but it apparently didn't stick :-(

Forgive my newbie question ... but where should I specify the OS definition?

[Ben Abbott]

I did not try the WIN32, I will give it a try and report back a bit later.

BTW, I've changed my freetype install. I no longer have any .configure problems. Although I do get some "no"s on ieeefp.h

checking ieeefp.h usability... no
checking ieeefp.h presence... no
checking for ieeefp.h... no

following a fresh ./configure and make with the linux option selected

I've got a full afternoon. I'll be back later and will post the result from the WIN32 attempt.

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I have the same problems as above...

The first time I tried to make OctPlot 0.4.0 this was the result:

Then I looked for glu.h on my mac and made a copy of the GL directory to where all the other libraries are... this was the result when I tried to compile:

ok... problem solved...
at least this one...
I changed line 20 of patch.cpp

Original one:
#include <GL/glu.h>

New one:
#include <OpenGL/glu.h>

[Ben Abbott]

Excellent!

I'm now able to complete the "make" process. All I needed to do was modify patch.cpp

< #include <GL/glu.h>
> #include <OpenGL/glu.h>

No need to move files around.

I'm running OS X 10.4.10 on Intel and am using Fink (unstable branch) to satisfy all the dependencies.

However, "sudo make install" failed :-(

btw, for those not familiar Fink installs itself and all its packages in root directory "/sw/...". This directory requires root privilege to modify.

On my system "/sw/lib/octave/2.1.73/site" contains two directories; "exec" and "oct". There is no "octplot-0.4.0".

Where do I go from here?

Most of the demos appear to work. The specgram_demo produces both a warning and an error. However, it appears (to me) that the plot is completed.

The "undefined" values result from the axis() function

ax = axis()
warning: axis: some elements in list of return values are undefined
ax = [](0x0)

I checked to see what "axis" is being run. It appears correct.

octave:41> which axis
axis is the user-defined function from the file
/sw/lib/octave/2.1.73/site/octplot-0.4.0/axis.m

Is this error specific to my install? Does "specgram_demo" work properly for anyone else's Mac OS X installation?

For the portable way to solve the #include bug, see the file src/FTGL/FTGL.h
I will incorporate this into octplot so next release should do this automatically.

I have no idea about the empty install.sh bug

Thanks,

I found a problem with axis(). The version accompanying octplot contains the code

----------------------------
function _ax = axis (varargin)
  _gca=gca();

  ax=zeros(1,4);
  ax(1:2)=get(_gca,"xlim");
  ax(3:4)=get(_gca,"ylim");

  for ii=1:length(varargin)
    __axis_helper__(_gca,ax,varargin{ii});
  endfor

  ax=zeros(1,4);
  ax(1:2)=get(_gca,"xlim");
  ax(3:4)=get(_gca,"ylim");

endfunction
----------------------------

The output variable is apparently not set. When I add "_ax = as;" as shown below

----------------------------
function _ax = axis (varargin)
  _gca=gca();

  ax=zeros(1,4);
  ax(1:2)=get(_gca,"xlim");
  ax(3:4)=get(_gca,"ylim");

  for ii=1:length(varargin)
    __axis_helper__(_gca,ax,varargin{ii});
  endfor

  ax=zeros(1,4);
  ax(1:2)=get(_gca,"xlim");
  ax(3:4)=get(_gca,"ylim");

  _ax = ax;

endfunction
----------------------------

Now it appears to work. However, I've not considered whether this the appropriate for all instances.

I'll start a new thread

This is a known (and already fixed in svn bug) -- you can have a look at the fix (similar to yours) at
http://octplot.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/octplot/trunk/octplot/high_level/axis.m?r1=460&r2=463&sortby=date
