Hi Steve,

Thanks for the suggestion, sadly it didn't make a difference. When

trying to compile alh it still errors out at the same point.

I need to take a closer look at the Makefiles and see whether changing

the order of the include libraries makes a difference – the system

ones are of a newer vintage than the MacPort ones.

Bertrand,

gcc on Snow Leopard defaults to 64-bit compiling, Xcode projects

apparently default to 32-bit. As of R3.14.11 EPICS base does not

have support in the build files for darwin-x86_64. The "file is not

of required architecture" came up when I was compiling some of my

darwin R3.14.11 soft ioc's at the APS when I was upgraded to Snow

Leopard. If you add the following to your CONFIG_SITE file, then

gcc will build and link for 32-bit.

ARCH_DEP_CFLAGS += -m32 -arch i386
ARCH_DEP_LDFLAGS += -arch i386

Hope that resolves your issue,

Dear Tech-Talk,

It's the holiday season which means new computer (for my dad this

time) and also compiling code :)

So I tried installing EPICS et al. on a MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz)

running 10.6.2 with MacPorts 1.8.1.

EPICS 3.14.11 went fine, although I needed to deactivate readline

(6.0.000_2+darwin) as it caused an error – hopefully a problem on

their end as the package is still in dev, but just in case here is

the error message

<snip>
../../../../bin/darwin-x86/antelope -l -d ../parse.y
dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_insert

Referenced from: /Users/Superior/Documents/EPICS/base-3-14-11/lib/

darwin-x86/libCom.3.14.11.dylib

Expected in: flat namespace

When I try to compile the latest version of the alarm handler or

MEDM I get the following error message:

<snip>

ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libXmu.dylib, file is not of

required architecture

ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libXm.dylib, file is not of required

I double checked the CONFIG_SITE.darwin-x86.darwin-x86 file to make

sure it is looking in the correct locations:

#
# XDarwin
#
X11_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
X11_INC=/usr/X11R6/include/X11
XPM_LIB=/usr/X11R6/lib
XPM_INC=/usr/X11R6/include/X11

#
# Fink OpenMotif
#
#MOTIF_LIB=/sw/lib
#MOTIF_INC=/sw/include

#
# DarwinPorts OpenMotif
#
MOTIF_LIB=/opt/local/lib
MOTIF_INC=/opt/local/include

Looking in the XDarwin directory there are three of the four .dylib

libraries (libXm.dylib isn't there).

Does someone have an idea of why the compilation is failing? Is it

due to the X11 not being the latest version? On my PowerBook I have

XQuartz 2.4.0 installed, but the XQuartz project said there would

be a separate release called 2.4.1 for Snow Leopard.

Thanks,
Bertrand
