Installing Xfig on OS X Leopard Topic:Configuration   Date: 2008-03-22 Printer Friendly:   Mobile View:

Getting Xfig to run on Leopard with Intel was much easer than when I tried on Tiger with PPC. I installed Xcode 3.0 Developer Tools for Mac OS X v10.5 off of the CD that came with the computer. I upgraded X:

srv-5:~ usr4$ X -version XQuartz starting: X.org Release 7.2 X.Org X Server 1.3.0-apple10 Build Date: 20080213 srv-5:~ usr4$

I decided to try Darwin Ports instead of Fink. I used DarwinPorts-1.5.0. Installing Xfig after that was simple:

srv-5:~ usr4$ sudo port install xfig ---> Fetching Xaw3d ---> Attempting to fetch Xaw3d-1.5E.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/hawkeyd/X/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for Xaw3d ---> Extracting Xaw3d ---> Configuring netpbm ---> Building netpbm with target {} ---> Staging netpbm into destroot ---> Installing netpbm 10.26.51_0 ---> Activating netpbm 10.26.51_0 ---> Cleaning netpbm ---> Fetching transfig ---> Attempting to fetch transfig.3.2.5.tar.gz from http://xfig.org/software/xfig/3.2.5/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for transfig ---> Extracting transfig ---> Applying patches to transfig ---> Configuring transfig ---> Building transfig with target all ---> Staging transfig into destroot ---> Installing transfig 3.2.5_0 ---> Activating transfig 3.2.5_0 ---> Cleaning transfig ---> Fetching xfig ---> Attempting to fetch xfig.3.2.5.full.tar.gz from http://files.xfig.org/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for xfig ---> Extracting xfig ---> Applying patches to xfig ---> Configuring xfig ---> Building xfig with target all ---> Staging xfig into destroot ---> Installing xfig 3.2.5_3 ---> Activating xfig 3.2.5_3 ---> Cleaning xfig
