Nano-Hive will theoretically compile and run on MacOS X, but we don't know of anyone trying it yet. It would be great if you gave it a shot with the old ./configure; make; here's the link to our download page: http://www.nano-hive.org/download.shtml A log of the build would be helpful to us as well. After it's built, try the Quick Start Tutorial in the Readme and let us know how it went! (Probably post results and any problems/questions to one of the resources here: http://www.nano-hive.org/support.shtml since we're getting a bit off-topic for a Nano@Home forum.)

I tried running ./configure and got this error:

checking for ccgnu2-config... no
checking for Common C++ version >= 0.99.0... not found
*** The ccgnu2-config script installed by Common C++
*** 0.99.0 or later could not be found. Adjust your PATH
*** environment variable so that it can be found and re-run
*** ./configure

First you have to build and install:
Common C++ Libraries
Log for C++
Xerces C++ XML Parser

They are listed on their download page.

After you get all those built and installed you can try building nano-hive.

[mikkyo]

So I built and installed all the supporting libs and then NanoHive successfully built.
It need some more tweaking to get it working though as it can't find some symbols.

You don't already have those installed? Seriously though - I think we'll roll some RPMs for various platforms with those libraries compiled-in statically for our next release.

Was this on a G5? If so, it would be a big help to us if you built and installed those necessary libraries, and N-H ofcourse, and reported any problems or errors.

Thanks.


PS. You forgot to add TCL to your list, unless OS X already has it installed which it probably does.

[Sune]

All these symbols are likely defined in the standard C++ library. Try re-./configure;make'ing with forced libstdc++ linkage, ie, LDFLAGS=-lstdc++

You can give ./configure initial values for configuration parameters by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here's how to do it on the command line:

./configure LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ <any other options you used>

Let me know how that works..

Thanks!

I got as far as mikkyo, but I notice in my make install :

make install-data-hook
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/Nano-Hive
cp -r ./../bin/linux-x86 /usr/local/share/Nano-Hive/scripts
sed s\\NH_SHARE_HOME\\/usr/local/share/Nano-Hive\\g ./../bin/linux-x86/install-examples > /usr/local/share/Nano-Hive/scripts/install-examples
sed: 1: "s\NH_SHARE_HOME\/usr/lo ...": substitute pattern can not be delimited by newline or backslash
make[3]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

./configure LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ made no difference

[mikkyo]

Yeah there is a sed error in the install-examples portion.

It should have already install the binary at that point.
try /usr/local/bin/NanoHive

[Sune]

The good news is that I found out that Sourceforge, where Nano-Hive development is hosted, has a compile farm with various platforms including OS X, so we can do some compiling and testing on the various platforms to resolve issues like those above.

The bad news is that we haven't done it yet - we'll definitely do it for the next release though (due this quarter.)

If you're still game to help getting N-H successfully built on OS X, I suggest running 'ldd /usr/local/bin/NanoHive' or 'otool -L /usr/local/bin/NanoHive' to check whether the installed binary is linked against libstdc++, I suspect it is not. If it is you'll see something like:

[bh@nosecandy src]$ ldd /usr/local/bin/NanoHive
libtcl8.4.so => /usr/local/lib/libtcl8.4.so (0x40013000)
libxerces-c.so.25 => /usr/local/lib/libxerces-c.so.25 (0x400ac000)
...
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x40502000)

It also appears that BSD sed doesn't like backslashes as substitute pattern delimiters (they work fine for GNU sed.) If you get the runtime error solved, you can fix the sed problems by replacing the \\ delimeters with semi-colon delimeters in the install-data-hook target in the Makefile:

Code:

install-data-hook:
mkdir -p $(pkgdatadir)
cp -r $(top_builddir)/../bin/linux-x86 $(pkgdatadir)/scripts
sed 's;NH_SHARE_HOME;$(pkgdatadir);g' $(top_builddir)/...



And also replace the delimiters in the bin/linux-x86/install-examples script, and run make install again. Or you can just wait for the next release which will have already been tested on OS X for you.

Thanks a bunch for trying the build on OS X.

It appears that you are correct that it isn't linked against libstdc++

here is the output of otool:

/usr/local/bin/NanoHive:

It is the same even when explicitedly added as a paramater to ./configure per your earlier instructions

Replacing \\ with semi colon doesn't work either.

make install-data-hook
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/Nano-Hive
cp -r ./../bin/linux-x86 /usr/local/share/Nano-Hive/scripts
sed s;NH_SHARE_HOME;/usr/local/share/Nano-Hive;g ./../bin/linux-x86/install-examples > /usr/local/share/Nano-Hive/scripts/install-examples
sed: 1: "s": substitute pattern can not be delimited by newline or backslash
/bin/sh: line 1: NH_SHARE_HOME: command not found
/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/local/share/Nano-Hive: is a directory

make[3]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 127
make[2]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

[mikkyo]

replacing \\ with \; works though.
I got it to install now.
I linked it with libstc++ and it runs the 5x5 nanotube simulation.

[Sune]

The replacement I suggested actually had single quotes around the sed expression - which does work , but that's moot because you got it to install all the same.

I'm glad you got the binary to work! How did you do to get it linked against libstdc++?

Brian says hello

[mikkyo]

I added -lstdc++ to the Makefile.
