How to install Mixmod on a Mac

[Baudry]

Hi,

I had some troubles to install Mixmod on my new Mac (under Snow
Leopard : Mac OS X 10.6.4). I finally overcame them (thanks, Florent!)
and explain how, in case it may help anyone in the same situation...


First, some tools to compile C codes are needed:
_Cmake, which can be downloaded from the Web* and installed anywhere
on the Mac.
_gcc compiler tools, which come for example with the Apple developer
tools, available on the Apple site** (it is required to register (for
free), but many very useful tools are obtained at the same time). I
had trouble because I tried to install this in a folder different from
the default one: I would not advice to do so...

Then, of course, download Mixmod source files from the Mixmod site and
unzip them in any folder.

I had to make the following changes to the file ./SRC/CMakeLists.txt
(as suggested in an other discussion of this group) :

(replace the lines preceded by - with those preceded by +)

Finally, open a terminal, change directory to the Mixmod folder (cd
Mixmod_path) and follow the standard installation steps:
_Cmake (in the terminal, "Cmake ." or from the Cmake GUI directly).
_In the terminal : "make" and then "make install".

It works for me...
