    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    You wrote this in response to my comment about it not finding ImageMagick. But interestingly, that initial failure to find it explains the difference in behavior I got when I started the program...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Assuming I did it correctly ("open XaraLX.app"), it does the following:
    1) brings up the splash logo
    2) provides only two headings on the top menu bar: XaraLX and Help (this is in contrast to the...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    It is in my path ... for the shell I use (tchs). But I just realized I have no idea how the Finder passes paths to the applications it opens, since it (presumably) doesn't pay any attention to my...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Incidentally, the complaint about missing ImageMagick 6.0 seems spurious. I've investigated and found that I have exactly one version of ImageMagick installed --- version 6.1.8 -- and the...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Three steps forward, one(?) step back.

    Now that I understand what a bundle is ... it turns out the build automatically creates a folder XaraLX.app and associated subdirectories in the build...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    The above options seem to have done the trick. The make completed without additional errors.

    The resulting executable is huge: 784 MB. I've tried executing it, but so far all it's done is...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Update: After clearing out the supplied Wx-widgets 2.5 and re-running config, autoreconf, etc., I ran make again in the XaraLX directory and ran into the same error as before, which I ended up...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll admit that before this particular effort, I had never even consciously encountered Automake and its kin before. There was make, and for a while there was imake, and...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    After 20 years of muddling through builds of diverse software packages under various flavors of Unix, I'm amazed that modern build scripts still don't automatically check for, and offer advice about,...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Here's the exact line I used, taking from my shell command history:

    ./configure --enable-debug --with-wx-config=/Users/gpetty/wx/v263/build-unicode-debug/wx-config

    This in turn was taken...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Interesting. When I installed Fink + Fink Commander yesterday, I don't recall it pointing out any of this when I fired it up for the first time. I'm new to Macs (as of a few days ago), but so far at...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Let me add that I just discovered that I have

    /usr/local/lib/libwx_macud-2.5.3.dylib

    but not the version 2.6.0 that is being sought in the make.

    I did find:

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Once again I was an unwitting victim of the path order ... I had automake 1.9 installed in /sw/bin, but it was hitting version 1.6 in /usr/bin first.

    I've switched the path order in my .cshrc...

    Re: MacOS X building instructions

    Found a binary for gettext that seems to work (so far) via i-Installer v2 from http://tug.org/i-packages/ii2.ii2

    Now I'm running into problems using

    autoreconf -f -i -s

    in the XaraLX...

    I found this thread via Google and wanted to mention that I'm having the exact same problem making gettext from the Gnu package... autoreconf reports the following:
