Howdy all!<br>
<br>
After long travails, I have succeeded in building a functioning version of 1.5.24. It is somewhat disturbing how difficult this has been. (It appears to have succeeded today only because of new Mesa and OpenGL libraries from MacPorts.)<br>
<br>
I attempt to give here a quick prescription for building xcd 1.5.24 using external libraries provided by the MacPorts system: <a href="http://www.macports.org/" target="_blank">http://www.macports.org/</a> . [Remember why this is potentially useful: you can use, e.g., libraries which are tweaked for your particular architecture; macports is also well maintained.] Because this process has been spread out over many weeks, I undoubtedly have forgotten to specify something; please let me know if so. I built this under Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard); I'll follow up if things are significantly different under Lion (10.7).<br>
<br>
0. Make sure you have Xcode and relevant Developer (e.g, X11) packages installed<br>
<br>
1. Install a barebones MacPort tree (again, from <a href="http://www.macports.org" target="_blank">www.macports.org</a>)<br>
<br>
2. Install, in no particular order (port will take care of dependencies)<br>
<br>
atlas<br>
fftw-3<br>
gfortran 4.5 [which will end up being named gfortran-mp-4.5 in /opt/local/bin], although earlier versions (e.g., 4.3) worked for me. This should automatically install gcc.<br>
mesa<br>
meschach<br>
tcl<br>
tk<br>
<br>
NB: port install gcc45 +variant:gfortran is an EXAMPLE of how to install a variant of a particular port package.<br>
<br>
Each install will provoke a cascade of other downloads and install; be patient.<br>
<br>
3. Use the Make.sys file below<br>
<br>
4. Type "make all"<br>
<br>
5. Test on .xsf or .xcrysden files<br>
<br>
Carefully inspect the directories and libraries mentioned in Make.sys; if you don't have the ones mentioned, you may not have installed the corresponding MacPorts packages.<br>
<br>
=========BEGINNING OF Make.sys==============<br>

=========END OF Make.sys==============<br>
<br>
I readily made a XCrySDen-1.5.24-bin-shared.tar.gz file but assume this won't work unless boatloads of libraries (above) are present.<br>
Hope this helps!<br>
