swig both on Ubuntu 12.04 and OS X

[Michal Kočer]

Hello, 

we're in process of installing new camera on our observatory (246), so we're rechecking our 

data-flow procedure. There are many new technologies around and lot of computation power, so we're 

trying wether some part of your interesting project would fit in.

Unfortunately ob both OSs I tryed, ie. on Ubuntu 12.04 and on OS X (using macports) ,I've got during instalation phase response like this connected

with swig at ./sdss subdirectory of instalation directory:

~/src/astrometry.net-0.43/sdss $ make

python setup.py build --force --build-base build --build-platlib build/lib

running build

running build_ext

building '_cutils' extension

swigging cutils.i to cutils_wrap.c

swig -python -o cutils_wrap.c cutils.i

:3: Error: Unable to find 'python.swg'

error: command 'swig' failed with exit status 1

make: *** [_cutils.so] Error 1

On Ubuntu 12.04 I solved that by installing "swig" package and make-ing new install;

on OS X I'm not able to go through. So my quiestion is: is there any way of installing

the SW without using swig tool? 

I tryed newer snapshots as well - I did not get better result :(

Thank you 

Michal

Look at using homebrew instead of macports. I installed on OSX last weekend with no problems. Homebrew is superior to ports in that it doesn't install a parallel Linux env on your OSX. Instead it downloads, patches and compiles libraries and tools for your platform.
Switching to homebrew will likely require that you drop your ports installation. Still worth it in my opinion.

Good luck,
Phil

I thought I includeded all the swig-generated files in the source tarball -- I'm not sure why it's trying to re-run swig, unless I forgot something.

Could you please re-extract the tarball, and:

'''
ls -l sdss
make     # and when it fails...
make -d
'''

I'm trying to figure out why it's trying to run swig.  It shouldn't have to.

cheers,

Dustin, thx for reply.

I forgot to write that both on Ubuntu and OS X it fails during "make install" and I found that the cause is in sdss.

So I did  now on freshly extracted tarball  following (OS X+macports):

ls -l sdss

# changed util/makefile.netpbm

make

make install

make -d install

ls -l sdss

Output is attached in a file

Hope it helps

THX Phil for reply,

I'm thinking for a long time to switch over to homebrew, but still it is some research to find which base packages I do need for my projects

and then uninstall all the ports and install coresponding homebrewed one - but may be, the time has come ;)

Hi,

Could you please try this snapshot and let me know how it works:  I just tried on my Mac system without swig and it worked for me -- does it work for you?

Hi Dustin,

it seems to compile and instlall well on my Mac.

Thank you :) for your effort
