<h2>14.6: Compilation in Macintosh OS X</h2>
The OS X system provides a BSD unix that suites Gri very well. With the (free)
developer package, it also provides a very up-to-date version of the `<font color="#82140F"><code>gcc</code></font>'
compiler. Thus, installing Gri on Macintosh can be done using the normal Unix
instructions.
<p>
But there are also easier ways. Gri is compatible with Fink and Darwinports, the
two popular packaging systems on OS X. If you use OS X and do not have Fink or
Darwinports installed, then you should probably install one, or both. Each
distribution has strengths, and each has weaknesses, and it is difficult to
provide a firm recommendation between the two.
<p>
<em>Caveat.</em> As of mid-2007, neither distribution appears to handle package
dependencies as well as is done by popular linux distributions. For example, in
working through the steps listed below, the author found that his Darwinports
system had a problem with a system library that handles internationalization. The
"update" operation of the system was insufficient to solve the problem, and so it
was necessary to do some web searching to find a patch. The patch failed, but
another search revealed a second (hand-edit) patch that got it working. In excess
4 CPU hours were required to rebuild the packages that were broken.
<p>
If you'd like to build a local Darwinports version of Gri, to get the
latest version instead of whatever version is provided by Darwinports,
follow these steps:
<p>
<ul>
<p>
<li> Download the source from CVS at SourceForge. (If you don't know what the previous
sentence means, you will quite likely have difficulties with the other steps.)
<p>
<li> Visit the `<font color="#82140F"><code>darwinports</code></font>' directory of the newly-created directory tree, and type
<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
<font color="#82140F">
sudo port -d -v build
</font></PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
to build it. This will take several minutes, during which you
may find it helpful to do a search on "darwinport build". For example, the
O'Reilly page
(<a href="http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2004/04/09/darwinports.html?page=3">`<font color="#82140F"><code>http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mac/2004/04/09/darwinports.html?page=3</code></font>'</a>,
last checked in July 2007)
is very good. Note that you will be
building from the source that is stored on SourceForge, not from the Darwinports
source. That's the trick of issuing the `<font color="#82140F"><code>build version</code></font>' of the `<font color="#82140F"><code>port</code></font>'
command.
<p>
<li> Do a "destroot" operation:
<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
<font color="#82140F">
sudo port -d -v destroot
</font></PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<p>
<li> Install it:
<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
<font color="#82140F">
sudo port -d -v install
</font></PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Note: if you already have an older version of Gri in the Darwinports system, you must first
issue the command
<TABLE SUMMARY="Example" BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#efefef" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
<font color="#82140F">
sudo port deactivate gri
</font></PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<p>
</ul>
