Thread: [q-lang-users] Compiling Q on Mac OS X

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi there. I come to you from the MacPorts project [1]. MacPorts is  
one of the two package managers available for Mac OS X. (Fink is the  
other.)

We have a port for Q in MacPorts, but it's for version 6.0, and it's  
been pointed out [2] that this is ancient and moreover does not  
compile for some (or possibly all) our users. Who knows whether this  
is because of Macs using Intel processors now, or because of updates  
in the OS or the compiler.

I attempted to update the port to Q 7.9 but that doesn't compile  
either; I get "/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _coerce_float" (full  
error output copied below). I tried 7.8 and the error is the same. I  
also tried 7.7 and the error is different: "curl.c:467: error:  
'CURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION' undeclared here (not in a function)". Any  
idea how I can get Q 7.9 to compile here? I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11  
with Xcode 2.4.1 on a MacBookPro3,1. The versions of the dependencies  
are:

curl 7.17.1 with ssl support
gmp 4.2.2
ncurses 5.6
ncursesw 5.6
openssl 0.9.8g
readline 5.2.007
zlib 1.2.3

The configure line I used for Q 7.9 is:

./configure --prefix=/opt/local --mandir=/opt/local/share/man -- 
infodir=/opt/local/share/info --with-gmp --with-rl --with-pthread -- 
with-curl --without-gdbm --without-x --without-ggi --without-ft2 -- 
without-magick --without-odbc --without-tk --without-xml --without- 
dxl --without-dmalloc

This is the same configure line that our Q 6.0 port used. Maybe some  
options have changed since then?

Here's the full error output from trying to build Q 7.9; thanks for  
any help you can provide:
