[ptx] Compiling Hugin for Mac/OS X?

[Pablo d'Angelo]

Hi,

Great, I have been waiting for a mac user who wants to try
hugin as well.

Hmm, it should be possible to compile hugin with 3.79. I use some command
from make 3.80 for building some files needed for internationalization, but
you probably don't need that feature at the moment ;)

If make complains about problems in src/makefiles/rules.mk, try removing
the following lines:

---------------- snip --------------
# pablo: other method to build a dynamic number of targets is to
# create the rules dynamically, here it is done for the .mo files
#
# $(eval) is only available on make 3.80 and higher. not sure
# if that can be accepted or not. else I have to write an even more
# complicated rule like the one above.

define MO_templ
$(1)/$(2).mo: $(1).po
	@test -d $(1) || $(MKDIR) $(1)
        $(SILENT)$(MSGFMT) -o $(1)/$(2).mo $(1).po
endef

# do not reformat the line below, make 3.80 has a bug that
# stops $(eval) from working correctly if it is surrounded
# by white space.
$(foreach app, $(APPS),\
  $(foreach ling, $(APP_$(app)_LINGUAS),$(eval $(call MO_templ, $(ling),$(APP_$(app)_BIN)))) \
)
---------------- snap --------------
                  
ciao
  Pablo
