[sumo-user] Sumo-gui compiled on Mac

[Alex V. <ale...@vi...>]

Hi,

I want to report that sumo-gui (sumo 0.20) compiles on Mac OS X 10.9. Below is the summary of the steps.


Step one. Minor source code change
----------------------------------

Only one line of code needs to be changed in the following two files:

src/foreign/polyfonts/polyfonts.c
src/foreign/polyfonts/pfPSansBold16.c

The line is the following:

#include <GL/gl.h>

The line shold be changed to the following:

#ifdef __APPLE__
#  include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#else
#  include <GL/gl.h>
#endif

That is the only source change.



Step two. Dependencies
----------------------

The dependencies can be installed using Homebrew (http://brew.sh/). I installed xerces-c, proj, gdal and fox (I might also have had more dependencies installed earlier).



Step three. Compilation flags
-----------------------------

"./configure" can't figure the correct compilation flags for Sumo on Mac, so they have to be adjusted manually before running ./configure. The flags can be set through the environment variables. Here are the flags that worked for me:

export CXXFLAGS="-I/opt/X11/include"
export LDFLAGS="-framework OpenGL -framework GLUT -L/usr/X11/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lpython2.7"



That's it. Running "./configure --with-python" and "make" successfully compiled sumo and sumo-gui.


I have a question: can the minor source code change above be incorporated into the main source code?

Also, if there is interest, I probably can create a Homebrew formula to simplify the installation.


Hope this helps,

Alex
