GT.M on Mac OS X

[Sam Habiel]

If anybody is interested, GT.M now compiles and runs on a Mac. (I managed to run Taskman and CPRS in VISTA on it, and that's saying something.) It's compiled using clang/LLVM. It's not yet installable as there are changes that need to made to the install script.

Repo here: https://github.com/shabiel/fis-gtm/tree/darwin

Instructions here: https://github.com/shabiel/fis-gtm/blob/darwin/README.darwin

The hard work done to compile assembly code in the sr_x86_64 directory under llvm-mc/clang was done by a GT.M developer in his spare time. I am very grateful for his effort.

There is a bunch of work that needs to be done still. If you know C or x64 assembly and cmake and are interested in helping, post here and I will include you in our discussions.

Wow. You have been working on that project for a long time. Great work and thanks to the GT.M developer!

I am interested to try this out, and willing to help with testing and creating more detailed instructions for others who may want to work with GT.M on Mac OS X.

I have Macports installed and was able to update it, and to download the package requirements with no problem. I got the git repository downloaded as well. I tried to run the build instructions either from README or README.darwin and couldn't even get a make command to run.

Do you have tips or more detailed instructions on how to get started with this?

I'd be much more interested in it running on a Raspberry Pi :-)

One step at a time Rob!

Erik,

Did you follow this document? https://github.com/shabiel/fis-gtm/blob/darwin/README.darwin? Make should be part of the XCode Command Line tools.

Hi Sam,

Yes I did follow that document. I have Xcode and am currently using it to write C programs. Most probably I've failed to do some simple step, but I'm not sure what that is. Here is the command line output I'm getting from the terminal.

09:04:37 erik.macbook : ~/Downloads/fis-gtm-V6.2-001
$ make -j 16 gen_gtm_threadgbl_deftypes all
make: *** No rule to make target `gen_gtm_threadgbl_deftypes'. Stop.

I can see that CMakeLists.txt contains references to the gen_gtm_threadgbl_deftypes target.

09:04:28 erik.macbook : ~/Downloads/fis-gtm-V6.2-001
$ grep gen_gtm_threadgbl_deftypes CMakeLists.txt
add_custom_target(gen_gtm_threadgbl_deftypes DEPENDS gtm_threadgbl_deftypes.h)
add_dependencies(lib${lib} gen_gtm_threadgbl_deftypes)
add_dependencies(gtmsecshr gen_gtm_threadgbl_deftypes)
add_dependencies(gtmsecshr_real gen_gtm_threadgbl_deftypes)

And finally, here is what the directory looks like.

Did you run 'cmake .' first? CMake needs to generate the makefiles first. See the main readme.

[Erik Zoltan]

Thanks, Sam. Here is what I get.

~/Downloads/fis-gtm-V6.2-001/build $ cmake .
--> OS = Darwin / ARCH = x86_64
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:75 (message):

Well... What does the log say?
