Mac OS X build - jpeglib failure

When I try to build the Xara source on my MacBook Pro, I get errors about jpeglib.h

In file included from .././Kernel/exjpeg.h:104,
from maskfilt.cpp:118:
.././Kernel/jpglib_namespace.h:116:22: error: jpeglib.h: No such file or directory

However, fink list libjpeg reports that the library is installed:

i libjpeg 6b-16 JPEG image format handling library
i libjpeg-bin 6b-16 Executables for libjpeg package
i libjpeg-shlibs 6b-16 Shared libraries for libjpeg package

Does anyone know what's going on here?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I think I have the jpeglib part figured out from here (http://www.xaraxtreme.org/maillists/.../msg00006.html).

However, now I get the following:
impexpop.cpp: In member function 'virtual void OpMenuExport::DoWithParam(OpDescriptor*, OpParam*)':
impexpop.cpp:1228: error: cannot convert 'String_256' to 'char*' in initialization
impexpop.cpp:1229: error: cannot convert 'String_256' to 'char*' in initialization
make[1]: *** [impexpop.o] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

A patch has been checked in that should get rid of this error...

Alright, I used svn this time to get the source and that fixed the string_256 compile errors. Now, it appears I have a linker problem with libpng:

I downloaded and compiled libpng 1.2.10, but maybe the linker isn't seeing it?

You need to add -lpng to your link command: In the makefile.am file in the root of the project, find the line that starts XaraLX_LDFLAGS = and add " -lpng" to the end (without the quotes).

We hope to make an Xcode project available which will simplify all these build problems on the Mac (and allow Universal Binaries to be created).

Thanks, it finally compiled completely :-) Unfortunately, it doesn't do anything at all. I can't click anything except the x/-/+ widgets. The first thing that comes up is a dialog indicating that the fonts data was messed up, but I can't even click the OK button.

That sounds like the usual problem that Finder doesn't recognise the executable correctly. There's an empty bundle in the project which you can use:

In the root of the project you should see a folder called XaraLX.app. Copy (or move) your executable into XaraLX.app/Contents/MacOS and then run XaraLX.app.

cp XaraLX XaraLX.app/Contents/MacOS
open XaraLX.app
