Re: [Openexr-devel] OpenEXR_Viewers: building problems in OSX 10.8.3

[Son Hua]

Hi, 

From a previous thread, it seems building exrdisplay has issues in OS X 10.8.3. 
Now it looks like the bug is still there. My machine is OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks. 

Previous report say the exrdisplay only installs some scripts, and the binary 
is missing. On my machine, this is because of the make installation script. 

What I did:

./configure
sudo make       (somehow exrdisplay is not built without sudo)
After this step, I go to the exrdisplay source folder and found the 
exrdisplay.app, with the correct binary inside. But if I continue:

sudo make install

then the binary disappears and is replaced by a bash script. This makes 
exrdisplay not working. Executing exrdisplay will produce some error messages:
/usr/local/bin/exrdisplay: line 3: 
/usr/local/bin//usr/local/bin/exrdisplay.app/Contents/MacOS//usr/local/bin/exrdisplay:
 No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/exrdisplay: line 3: exec: 
/usr/local/bin//usr/local/bin/exrdisplay.app/Contents/MacOS//usr/local/bin/exrdisplay:
 cannot execute: No such file or directory

My current workaround is simple. After sudo make, manually copy the exrdisplay 
and exrdisplay.app to /usr/local/bin. 

Perhaps someone who is familiar with make and autotools, please help fix the 
installation script. 

Best regards,
S. H.
