[Plib-users] Compiling issues on MacOS X 10.5

[Fabio R. <fab...@gm...>]

Dear all,

I'm trying to compile PLIB on my MacPro (MacOS X 10.5.4), but  
unfortunately I can't use DarwinPorts since the firewall installed by  
my institution is continuously blocking it. I've therefore tried to  
compile the libraries manually, but after the configuration I gets an  
error during the compiling phase which starts in this way:

ssgLoadFLT.cxx: In function ‘void _swab32(const void*, void*, int)’:
ssgLoadFLT.cxx:185: error: ‘uint’ was not declared in this scope
ssgLoadFLT.cxx:185: error: ‘s’ was not declared in this scope
ssgLoadFLT.cxx:185: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token
ssgLoadFLT.cxx:185: error: expected `;' before ‘src’
ssgLoadFLT.cxx:186: error: ‘d’ was not declared in this scope
ssgLoadFLT.cxx:186: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token
ssgLoadFLT.cxx:186: error: expected `;' before ‘dst’
ssgLoadFLT.cxx:188: error: expected `;' before ‘t’
[...]

It looks like - even if the ./configure didn't return me any error -  
I'm missing some dependencies. Anyway, I can't understand which one.  
Perhaps some of you has already experienced a similar issue trying to  
compile PLIB on Mac and therefore you could provide me with some  
findings?

I've also tried to write to Darrell Walisser, as suggested into the  
README.mac file included into the sources package, but the address  
published there looks to be not used anymore.

Many many thanks,
Fabio
