| − | '''Configuring the X Server'''

| − | There are two options you can use to address event processing issues (missed button presses) on the Mac and make slicer easier to use:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * activate focus follows mouse mode for X11 windows
| |
| − | | |
| − | defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm true
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''or'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * keep click to focus behavior, but passes the click event to the clicked window
| |
| − | | |
| − | defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through true
| |
| − | | |
| − | <br /> | |

| − | '''Note: these remainder of these instructions refer to the steps needed to compile the 2.4 release of slicer. The current cvs version includes patches to genlib.tcl that perform these steps automatically.''' | |

| − | == XFilterEvent() ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | On Mac OSX 10.3 the X server seems to have a bug in processing certiain events.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can address this by applying the following patch to the file generic/tkEvent.c in the tk release tagged core-8-4-6.

| |
| − | > #if 0
| |
| − | 942a946
| |
| − | > #endif
| |
| − | | |
| − | This has the effect of removing a call to XFilterEvents().
| |
| − | | |
| − | The patch is also available from Xythos at: https://share.spl.harvard.edu/xythoswfs/webui/share/birn/public/software/External/Patches/tkEventPatch.diff. To apply the patch, copy it into the directory slicer2/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl/tk/generic and run the command: | |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | patch -i tkEventPatch.diff
| |
| − | | |
| − | from that directory. To compile, create the directory slicer2/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl-build, then change directories to slicer/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl/tk/unix, and run:
| |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | ./configure --with-tcl=/YourSlicerPath/slicer2/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl-build/lib --prefix=/YourSlicerPath/slicer2/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl-build
| |
| − | make
| |
| − | make install

| − | == ranlib ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The ranlib command needs to be run manually on some tcl/tk libraries.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == BLT ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Currently, BLT does not compile for the mac. The error is:
| |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | ld: common symbols not allowed with MH_DYLIB output format with the -multi_module option
| |
| − | | |
| − | followed by a list of symbols.
| |
| − | | |
| − | BLT needs to be manually commented out of the Scripts/genlib.tcl file, and vtkFMRIEngine will not build or run.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Alternatively, --with-cflags="-fno-common" can be added to the configure input to fix this 'common symbols not allowed' problem. But this necessitates linking the tcl,tk and X libs in certain files. Here's the Makefile.in diffs, in the src and src/shared directories, showing the additional $(LIBS). Also, a separate bug in src/shared/Makefile.in is that $(bltsh) must be added to the dependency list (see diffs below).

| − | This is the script I use that successfully builds and installs everything on Mac OS X Tiger:
| |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | cd blt2.4z
| |
| − | make distclean
| |
| − | ./configure --prefix="$PKGS_ROOT" --enable-shared --with-tcl="$PKGS_ROOT" --with-tk="$PKGS_ROOT" \
| |

| − | make
| |
| − | make install

| − | == VTK ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | First let genlib run through the VTK checkout and let it attempt to build. It will fail with a message that it cannot find some opengl symbols. To compile vtk:
| |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | cd Lib/darwin-ppc/VTK-build
| |
| − | ../CMake-build/bin/ccmake ../VTK
| |
| − |
| |
| − | in ccmake, hit 't' and add -lgl to the OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY so it reads: -framework OpenGL -lgl
| |
| − | and turn ON VTK_USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB
| |
| − |
| |
| − | | |
| − | Then run make to finish the build of VTK.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After VTK finishes building, re-run genlib.tcl to build ITK.
