View source for Building CDAT on Mac

'''Updated instructions: '''
'''These instructions were tested on mac intel and PPC, both running Leopard, with [http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1-macosx.dmg macPython version 2.5.1]'''

* Requirements
** You will need X11 to run CDAT. If you don't have it, install it from your Mac OS X Install Disc 

* Follow [[Mac_Intel_Instructions| these instructions]] to install vistrails development environment
 
* Download modified cdat from [http://www.vistrails.org/download/download.php?type=OTHER&id=modified-cdat-devel-mac.tar.gz here]. This is a modified version based on the cdat devel revision 6662.

* Uncompress the file
  $ tar -xzvf modified-cdat-devel-mac.tar.gz

* Supposing you have Python 2.5 installed, perform the following commands:
  $ unset PYTHONPATH
  $ cd cdat-devel/exsrc
  $ sudo ./install_script /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5
  $ cd build
  $ sudo cp -r Pmw /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
  $ sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy-1.1.0.dev5196-py2.5-macosx-10.3-i386.egg/numpy/core/include/numpy /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5/
  $ cd ../..
  $ sudo python install.py --force --disable-contrib /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5
  

* Before running vistrails, reset PYTHONPATH variable:
  $ export PYTHONPATH=<path/to/vtk_build>/Wrapping/Python:<path/to/vtk_build>/bin:.

Test your cdat installation:
  $ python
  Python 2.5.1 (r251:54869, Apr 18 2007, 22:08:04) 
  [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)] on darwin
