[ns] Successful Leopard install was Re: can't install otcl-1.13 on Mac OS X 10.5.2?

[Lloyd Wood]

Thanks to gier egeland and David Viera for the hints.

./configure --x-includes=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/lib
make

worked for me to successfully configure and make otcl-1.13, tclcl-1.19, and ns-2.32 on Leopard.

That also worked for configuring nam-1.13, but that failed at the linker stage bleating
Undefined symbols:
  "__TkCreateXEventSource", referenced from:
    _TkpInit in tkUnixInit.o
so I grabbed nam-1-20080222.tar, which failed with the same linker error.

(I was using the available Tcl/Tk in the system, but using the allinone compiled Tcl/Tk made no difference here.)

I expect that the above will work for any Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 with XCode with the added X11 headers -there's a pkg on Leopard Install disc 1. The parallel MacOSX10.5.sdk/ tree is pretty empty, relying heavily on the base code in 10.4u (for universal: on Intel and PowerPC). On 10.3, using directories under /Developer/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk/  *may* well work - that directory exists, but the tree under it is mostly empty under Leopard. Since 10.3 changed so much during its lifetime, probably easiest to forget about 10.3 support altogether.

I think that these locations need to be special-cased for Darwin in the all-in-one installer, just as Cygwin is.

My, validate complains about 'no class variable LanRouter::debug_' a lot...

I've installed the development headers found in separate packages on the Leopard install disk (so e.g. I've got the OpenGL stuff - though I've got another program that swears blind they're Not There.). I gave up on MacPorts and managed to install Fink. I've even installed Quartz for the missing bits of X that Apple didn't ship. And otcl still won't configure.
