[Rdkit-devel] RDKit now buildable on Mac OS X

[Greg L. <gre...@gm...>]

This evening I checked in a bunch of changes (mostly to Jamfiles) that
allow the RDKit to be built under Mac OS X (at least under version
10.5.4). All the unit tests pass except for Numeric/EigenSolvers; I'm
looking into that one.

I am a very, very long way from being a Mac OS X expert, but things
look pretty good and I didn't have to hack around in order to make
things compile, so I think this is probably ok.

Some work is going to have to be done on installation instructions
because I didn't really install much of anything on this Mac other
than boost 1.36.0. The rest came pre-configured from IT. The one thing
that seems a big dodgy is the location of the numpy include files
(needed for Jamroot)
--/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Extras/lib/python/numpy/core/include
-- but maybe that's standard?

I would be very, very happy to have input from people more familiar
with the platform, particularly if anyone could even sketch out some
install instructions that would make sense to a Mac user.
