Problem with installation on Mac OSX

[akshay shekhawat]

I am trying to install Basilisk on Mac OSX. I have followed all steps given in installation instruction. I have installed darcs and got  Basilisk source code. Copied config.osx on config. make command is showing following error:

Makefile:70: /Makefile.defs: No such file or directory

make: *** No rule to make target `/Makefile.defs'.  Stop.

Is there some problem with config.osx file?

I ran install procedure given for linux on osx. basilisk seem to have installed somehow('qcc --version' is not giving error) but it doesnt seem to work as desired. compiler cant seem to find libraries with such installation.

You need to make sure that the BASILISK environment variable is set to
the correct directory, for example:

% echo $BASILISK
/home/popinet/basilisk/src

To set this variable automatically, you need to modify your .bashrc (or
equivalent on Mac). See the end of this paragraph:

I am still confused. Install procedure for Linux is supposed to work on OSX?

I have modified .bashrc file in home dir.

Let me reiterate it. This is what I did and output I got-

Akshays-MacBook-Air:~ akshayshekhawat$ cd basilisk/src                   

Akshays-MacBook-Air:src akshayshekhawat$ cp config.osx config

Akshays-MacBook-Air:src akshayshekhawat$ make

/Users/akshayshekhawat/basilisk/src/Makefile.defs:8: Makefile.tests: No such file or directory

/Users/akshayshekhawat/basilisk/src/Makefile.defs:143: Makefile.deps: No such file or directory

sh /Users/akshayshekhawat/basilisk/src/tests.sh

updating Makefile.tests

updating Makefile.deps

make: *** No rule to make target `discharge.h.tags.d', needed by `Makefile.deps'.  Stop.

Akshays-MacBook-Air:src akshayshekhawat$ cd ~/basilisk/src

Akshays-MacBook-Air:src akshayshekhawat$ echo "export BASILISK=$PWD" >> ~/.bash_profile

Akshays-MacBook-Air:src akshayshekhawat$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:$PWD" >> ~/.bash_profile

Akshays-MacBook-Air:src akshayshekhawat$ qcc --version

-bash: /Users/akshayshekhawat/basilisk/src/qcc: No such file or directory

How did you get the source code? with darcs or using the tarball?

I just re-did it following the instructions here:

http://basilisk.fr/src/INSTALL#compilation

and it works fine. Note that you need to first do

% make -k

the first time you compile and ignore error messages looking like:

make: *** No rule to make target 'discharge.h.tags.d', needed by
'Makefile.deps'.

This is only required once. Later compilations can just use

% make

cheers
