Re: [Swarm-Support] installation on mac os x

[Paul Box]

Hi Caroline

I don't do much with javaswarm, so anything I say in regard to that may 
not be true..

If you have installed the libraries correctly, you should see them in 
/usr/local/swarm2.2

For the objc applications, you can compile any of them from an xterm 
window (use xterm, from the X11 package, instead of a regular terminal 
application, as swarm uses tcl/tk, which is X11 based, for graphical 
interface).  You need to set the SWARMHOME variable to 
/usr/local/swarm2.2.  For objc models, you can simply type 'make' in 
the directory where your source code and makefile is to compile.

For javaswarm, I think you could use $SWARMHOME/bin/javacswarm to 
compile, and $SWARMHOME/bin/javaswarm to run it.

Let me know if this is not sufficient detail to get things running.  I 
will be happy to spell out step by step how to get something compiled 
and running.
