Hello,

Having compiled the version 3.6 on Mac OS X 10.7.5, I try to compile the version
3.7.

Information :

    Processeur  2,3 GHz Intel Core i5

    Graphisme  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Logiciel  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)

    gcc -v
    Using built-in specs.
    Target: i686-apple-darwin11
    ...
    Thread model: posix
    gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)

I use tools from Mac Ports.

You have to specify some options for "configure".

.../configure COMPILED_BY="test [at] testcom"  CXX=g++ CXXCPP="g++ -E"
LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib -lboost_system-mt'

I ran on a strange error message while running "make".

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../..  -I../.. -I../../source -I../../source
-I../../source/base -I../../unix -I../../vfe -I../../vfe/unix

                 from bounding/boundingtask.cpp:102:
..../../source/backend/support/task.h:187: error: thread-local storage not
supported for this target

Any idea ?

Bets regards,

Denis

The following information does not solve the problem, but it may help.

GNU Pthread is not installed on Mac OS X, by default.

To install it, the name of the Port's package is "pth".

sudo port install pth

Now, you have to modify the configure script of POVRAY, if you want it to detect
GNU Pthread.

Line 6858: Add the tags "pth" and '-pth"

acx_pthread_flags="pth -lpth pthreads none -Kthread -kthread lthread -pthread
-pthreads -mthreads pthread --thread-safe -mt pthread-config"

Best regards,

Denis

OK, it's done.

I gave all details in the section "beta tests".
