[GRASSLIST:8541] Re: compiling GRASS on mac os x

[William Kyngesburye]

I've been a bit bogged down to do anything with the build  
instructions or my own binaries.  Here's what you do:

Edit configure.  Find the section that starts with 'Rhapsody-*|Darwin- 
*)' - there are two, the second is an empty case, you want the  
first.  Add -fno-common to SHLIB_CFLAGS, like:

     SHLIB_CFLAGS="-fno-common"

make sure to leave the leading space as it is in configure.

And in the SHLIB_LD string, change '-single_module' to '- 
flat_namespace'.  That has worked for me so far with 6.0.1 and  
6.1CVS.  I still need to try different combinations, but this works  
so far.

Feedback would be nice - I *still* haven't got around to playing with  
NVIZ or even the Tcl GUI, just pounding away in the Terminal.
