Mac OS using Mac Ports

The basis of these notes have been kindly created by Richard Welty.

This installation assumes un*x/linux tools installed using Mac Ports

You will need a basic install of un*x utilities.

You can use the whining of ./configure to figure out what you need to install.

Here is the starting list of a couple of dependencies below, but the list is far from complete (as I already had a pretty extensive collection of utilities installed).

• gdk-pixbuf2 from macports satisfies gdk-pixbuf-csource
• gtk2 from macports satifies gtk+

• gpsd from macports satisfies libgps

  port install gdk-pixbuf2
  port install gtk2
  port install gpsd

Although GPSBabel is not required, Viking's functionality is greatly enhanced if it is available.

port install gpsbabel

You need X11 from XCode (get XCode from Mac App Store).

For libraries placed in /opt/local/lib by macports, set LDFLAGS before running ./configure. If it complains about libexif and libexif is in /opt/local/lib, this will fix it:

export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib
