[Axiom-developer] OS X

[Jaap Weel]

I don't know how for Tim has got on Mac OS X, but I thought I'd just 
mention what I had so no-one has to repeat it all. If you got much 
further, please just ignore this.

Added Makefile.mac section to Makefile.pamphlet:
"
@
\subsection{Makefile.mac}
<<Makefile.mac>>=
# System dependent Makefile for the Mac/PPC platform
# Platform variable
PLF:=MACplatform
# C compiler flags
CCF:="-O2 -fno-strength-reduce -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -D${PLF} 
-I/usr/X11R6/include"
#CCF:=-g -fno-strength-reduce -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE  -D${PLF} 
-I/usr/X11/include
# Loader flags
LDF:= -L/usr/X11R6/lib
# C compiler to use
CC:=gcc
AWK=awk
RANLIB=ranlib
TOUCH=touch
TAR=tar
AXIOMXLROOT=${AXIOM}/compiler
O=o
BYE=bye
LISP=lisp
DAASE=${SRC}/share

ENV=PLF=${PLF} CCF=${CCF} LDF=${LDF} CC=${CC} AWK=${AWK} 
RANLIB=${RANLIB} \
    TOUCH=${TOUCH} TAR=${TAR} AXIOMXLROOT=${AXIOMXLROOT} O=${O} 
BYE=${BYE} \
    LISP=${LISP} DAASE=${DAASE}

all: rootdirs noweb srcsetup lspdir srcdir
        @echo 45 Makefile.linux called
        @echo 46 Environment : ${ENV}
        @echo 47 finished system build on `date` | tee >lastBuildDate

<<rootdirs>>
<<noweb>>
<<literate commands>>

Added
"
/** On some systems, such as the Mac, SIGCLD is called SIGCHLD **/
#if defined(MACplatform)
#define SIGCLD SIGCHLD
#endif
"
to src/lib/fnct_key.c.pamphlet

Added /usr/X11R6/include to INC path in src/lib/Makefile.pamphlet

Question: is this necessary? Without this, the C preprocessor fails to 
find X11/Xlib.h, but how on earth does it find it on Linux?

Made scripts in src/scripts executable

Question: is this necessary? Without this, make barfs, but how on earth 
does it do this on Linux?

awk and gawk:
noweb, in its current configuration, explicitly calls gawk. Macs ship 
with awk. If I symlink gawk --> awk on my system, it gets rid off the 
errors. I see some mechanism in noweb to deal with this, but don't 
quite understand it. Any thoughts?
