Mac

• Versions prior to 2010Aug10: On 64-bit machines (e.g. MacBookPro with Intel Core 2 Duo processor) running Max OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard MIA+EWS compiles, but the oir-routines crash when executed. However, there is a workaround: Compile MIA+EWS on a non 64-bit machine (e.g. running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard) and copy the binaries to the Mac running Snow Leopard. If you need a tar ball with compiled binaries to run on Snow Leopard or if you know a fix to the problem, please contact Leonard Burtscher.
• 2010Aug10 snapshot and IDL 7.1.1 with Mac OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard), Developer Tools 3.2.3 on a MacBook Pro

The following combinations are known to work:

• On Max OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard MIA+EWS compiles, but the oir-routines crash when executed. However, there is a workaround: Compile MIA+EWS on an older machine (e.g. running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard) and copy the binaries to the Mac running Snow Leopard. If you need a tar ball with compiled binaries to run on Snow Leopard or if you know a fix to the problem, please contact Leonard Burtscher.

For Leonard Burtscher it worked with the following combinations:

• MIA+EWS compiles also on Max OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, but the oir-routines crash when executed. However, there is a workaround: Compile it on an older machine (e.g. running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard) and copy the binaries to the Mac running Snow Leopard.

• 2009Nov17 snapshot and IDL 7.0.4 with Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) with Developer Tools 3.2.1
• since December 2009 version it doesn't compile on Mac OS X 10.6 anymore (but works fine when compiled on a 10.5 Mac and then executed on the 10.6 Mac, probably a problem with Snow Leopard's (10.6's) 64-bit 'support')
• most recent (experimental) versions don't run neither on 10.5 nor 10.6 anymore (initial IDL setup breaks), runs fine on MPIA's aida machines

Using the latest MIA+EWS snapshot change the following files to get it to run on a Mac.

For LB it worked with the following combinations:

• 2008Aug17 snapshot and IDL 7.0.4 with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) with Developer Tools 3.1
• 2009Nov17 snapshot and IDL 7.0.4 with Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) with Developer Tools 3.2.1

• 2009Nov17 snapshot and IDL 7.0.4 with Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard) with Developer Tools 3.2.1

MIA+EWS on the Mac

Using the latest MIA+EWS snapshot change the following files to get it to run on a Mac. For LB it worked with the August 2008 MIA+EWS snapshot and idl version 7 on a Mac running Leopard (with the Developer Tools installed).

Using the latest MIA+EWS snapshot change the following files to get it to run on a Mac. For LB it worked with the August 2008 MIA+EWS snapshot and idl version 7 on a Mac running Leopard (with the Developer Tools installed).

With these modifications mia+ews will compile on the Mac. If you do not want to do these things by hand, you can also use my macify.sh script to make MIA+EWS compile on the Mac.

• in c/src/table_col.c, table_gen.c, table_row.c, util.c, util/dft.c and in c/include/DRfit.h, FLUORfsub.h, FOfit.h, simulate.h replace malloc.h by sys/malloc.h

• in c/src/table_col.c, table_gen.c, table_row.c, dft.c@, util/dft.c] and in [@c/include/DRfit.h, FLUORfsub.h, FOfit.h, simulate.h replace malloc.h by sys/malloc.h

Using the latest MIA+EWS snapshot (2008Mar29) change the following files to get it to run on a Mac. I tried it with idl version 7 on a Mac running Leopard with the Developer Tools installed.

• in c/src/table_col.c, table_gen.c, table_row.c, util.c and in c/include/DRfit.h, FLUORfsub.h, FOfit.h, simulate.h and in c/src/util/dft.c replace malloc.h by sys/malloc.h

With these modifications mia+ews will compile on the Mac. It still crashes when reducing data, though.

• Most importantly: you must use a case-sensitive file-system (e.g. HFS+ case-sensitive)

MIA+EWS on the Mac (experimental)

Using the latest MIA+EWS (1.5.2) change the following files to get it to run on a Mac. I tried it with idl version 7 on a Mac running Leopard with the Developer Tools installed.

• in c/src/Makefile replace CC_OPTS = -W -pedantic $(CC_OPT32) by CC_OPTS = -W -std=c99 $(CC_OPT32) to get rid of a bunch of warnings
• in c/src/table_col.c, table_gen.c, table_row.c, dft.c, util.c and in c/include/DRfit.h, FLUORfsub.h, FOfit.h, simulate.h malloc.h must be sys/malloc.h

That's it!
