[openvrml-develop] Compiling 0.16.0+cvs on Mac OS X 10.4.8

[Philip L. <ph...@ed...>]

Hi all,

I thought it about time I updated my Mac OS X fink openvrml package  
for the new release. However, I'm running into some fairly elementary  
issues attempting to build it.

Firstly, I am building from the 0.16.0+cvs, under Mac OS X 10.4.8 on  
an Intel MacBook Pro. I am using fink to satisfy the external  
dependencies. Here are my build steps so far:

fink install libpng3
fink install libjpeg
fink install pkgconfig
fink install boost-1.33
fink install sdl
fink install automake1.9
setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/sw/include"
setenv LDFLAGS "-L/sw/lib"
setenv REZ "/Developer/Tools/Rez"
./bootstrap

Here the build falls over for the first time.. the moving of the gtk  
plugin breaks the boostrap script and the underlying Makefile.am  
files are out of date. If I remove offending bits, I can configure:

./configure --with-apple-opengl-framework --disable-script-node- 
javascript --disable-gtkplug --disable-mozilla-plugin

which gets as far as looking for antlr:

checking for antlr... no
checking if antlr is available to the Java runtime... no
configure: error: antlr 2.7.4 not found
See `config.log' for more details.

I can't use antlr from fink, because its a newer version (2.8), and  
it appears that openvrml doesn't have any build commands to build the  
bundled antlr library. If I try to manually build the bundled antlr:

cd lib/antlr
make

it bombs out with:

Makefile:16: /openvrml/lib/antlr/../../scripts/Config.make: No such  
file or directory
Makefile:17: /openvrml/lib/antlr/../../scripts/Rules.make: No such  
file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/Users/phil/Documents/Development/ 
Projects/OpenVRML/openvrml-0.16.0-cvs/openvrml/lib/antlr/../../ 
scripts/Rules.make'.  Stop.

Can anyone illuminate?

Cheers,
Phil.
