Re: Swarm on MacOS X status?

[Jacobo Myerston]

Hi,

I think it could be nice to have a xfree86 version of swarm 2.2 for 
OSX.  At the moment I have successful  compile gcc3.1, tlctk and hdf5, 
but I have still problems with blt.

cc -Wall -O6   -I. -I.  -I/sw/include -I/usr/X11R6/include  -o bltwish \
        ./bltUnixMain.c libBLT.a 
-L/Volumes/burbujas/src/tcltk-8.3.3-5/tk8.3.3/unix -ltk8.3 
-L/Volumes/burbujas/src/tcltk-8.3.3-5/tcl8.3.3/unix -ltcl8.3 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lm
cc: unrecognized option `-O6'
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -ltk8.3
make[1]: *** [bltwish] Error 1

 I was also looking in the aqua port of TclTk, and it seem to me that it 
is no yet completed, some files are missing, for example tkConfig.sh.

I'm just waiting for the avcall patch and for some instructions how to 
build blt.

Alessandro, how did you compile  blt  ?

I got the source code from Darwin cvs and compiled it  without fortran 
support.
