Every single build now takes about 24 hours to validate on a high-end cluster.<br /> 2) I don't have a Mac to test the code on (To support different version of Mac OS, I'd need multiple computers with MacOS 10.6-10.10).<br /> 3) We would need additional commercial licenses of Intel compiler to create builds for Mac (one per MacOs version). The price for Intel compiler is now $1599 per computer, per year. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to distribute builds with GNU C++ and FFTW since the licenses are not compatible.</p> <p>However, compilation with GNU C++ and FFTW is not supposed to be so difficult. There are a few differences in memory allocation that I've already overcome I hope.</p> <p>What needs to be changed by you, is to go over the code and find __linux__ preprocessor directive and create a code path for __APPLE__ which may but also may not be the same. In any case, these compiler/OS specific code paths serve for getting system information (number of cpu cores, memory used, consumed time, and other reports). </p> <p>If this is not critical for you, I'm more than happy to lend you a helping hand to make the code running on MacOS, just send me an email.</p> <p>Cheers!<br /> Jiri </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/compiling-source-codes-on-mac#post-4867 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 22:13:14 +0000 SHickling 4867@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I would like to compile the source codes for use on a Mac OS 10.10). I downloaded the HTF5 and FFTW libraries, but get errors when I go to make the k-Wave source code. I know this was originally written for Linux, but are there steps for how to do it on a mac?</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Susannah </p>
