FOX for Mac package

Rate this Message:
As I hadn't been using FOX in quite a while (like years) and especially not without MacPorts, I went back to try... I wanted to build a Universal Binary for Mac OS X 10.4+, and I didn't want to use either MacPorts or Fink to do it. The first problem was installing pkg-config, and using that. Then I had to do some compat fixing for old fontconfig used. But even after that, you will still get linker problems for "graph" due to it using some Multiprocessing (MP) functions: /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _MPCreateSemaphore _MPDeleteSemaphore _MPSignalSemaphore _MPWaitOnSemaphore Those are in the CoreServices framework, guess something in MacPorts linked with Carbon or something (that hid it) I didn't want to mess around with png/jpeg/tiff libraries, so didn't install those (and thus they weren't included) http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.23.tar.gz http://www.fox-toolkit.org/ftp/fox-1.6.36.tar.gz http://afb.users.sourceforge.net/fox-toolkit/fox-1.6.36-tiger- fontconfig.patch http://afb.users.sourceforge.net/fox-toolkit/fox-1.6.36- multiprocessing.patch The fully expanded configure line goes something like this: PATH=/opt/pkgconfig/bin:$PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/ X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH \ CC="gcc-4.0" CFLAGS="-O2 -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch ppc -arch i386" \ CXX="g++-4.0" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/ MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch ppc -arch i386" \ LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386" \ ./configure --with-x --with-xft --with-opengl --enable-cups \ --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/ lib --disable-dependency-tracking And here is the resulting package, linking *only* to /usr: http://afb.users.sourceforge.net/fox-toolkit/fox-1.6.36.dmg At 8.5M compressed, it's "only" twice as big as the source which isn't too bad - considering it has two architectures ? prefix=/usr/local exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib includedir=${prefix}/include Name: FOX Description: FOX is a C++ based Toolkit for developing Graphical User Interfaces Version: 1.6.36 Libs: -L${libdir} -lFOX-1.6 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -lX11 -L/usr/ X11R6/lib -lXft -lfreetype -lXrender -lfontconfig -lXcursor - lXrandr -ldl -Wl,-framework,CoreServices -lz -lbz2 -lm -lcups - lGLU -lGL Cflags: -I${includedir}/fox-1.6 I might do some more packages for FOX (and for GTK) later, that would be a little more fine-grained than this one... And with all the image formats and language bindings etc, if there would be any use for such a binary packaging ? --anders ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Heh. I had just finished doing this too (although I guess I left out the PPC build): http://wiki.github.com/lylejohnson/fxruby/building-fxruby-as-a-universal-gem-for-mac-os-x > And here is the resulting package, linking *only* to /usr: > http://afb.users.sourceforge.net/fox-toolkit/fox-1.6.36.dmg Nice! > I might do some more packages for FOX (and for GTK) later, > that would be a little more fine-grained than this one... > And with all the image formats and language bindings etc, > if there would be any use for such a binary packaging? I'm doing basically the same thing in the process of building the binary gem for FXRuby, but I hadn't planned to provide a standalone FOX package, so I think this provides a useful service to people who are just learning FOX (without FXRuby). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

(which I don't have, so would appreciate testing there) Obviously both could use a real packaging / build system. >> I might do some more packages for FOX (and for GTK) later, >> that would be a little more fine-grained than this one... >> And with all the image formats and language bindings etc, >> if there would be any use for such a binary packaging? > > I'm doing basically the same thing in the process of building the > binary gem for FXRuby, but I hadn't planned to provide a standalone > FOX package, so I think this provides a useful service to people who > are just learning FOX (without FXRuby). I'm mostly using it for the Xfe family of desktop helpers myself (see http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/) these days... And with the Quartz port of GTK, that seemed like better. Maybe I should pick up a copy of your FXRuby book ? ;-) --anders ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

I > think I can actually target PPC too, though, even though I have no way > to test that. I think you can still use the 10.4u SDK and -arch ppc, yes. You could test by running with "arch -ppc" prefix in Leopard. (Rather horrible case of overloading an old known command...) Of course that would assume installing / running with Rosetta. I tested mine with a real PowerPC, once package was finished. >> Obviously both could use a real packaging / build system. > > Sure. I didn't want to use MacPorts, because then it would need to build an entire X server plus all the other dependencies... Using something crude like build scripts could have worked, or maybe making some real RPM packages if feeling ambitious. Probably including Ruby as well, seems to be missing a dmg ? --anders ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
