Python 2.5.1 (built against tcltk 8.4)

Windows operating system 

...

    1. To build Python against tcltck 8.4, there are three lines to edit in the file (I would suggest searching for "_tkinter" in the Modules/Setup file, then follow the documentation)
      • Enable tkinter, by Uncommenting the line "_tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT "
      • Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk libraries are
        • (for linux) "-L/afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/glast/applications/heasoft/PROD/tcltk/i686-pc-linux-gnu-libc2.3.2/lib"
      • Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk headers are
        • (for linux) "-I/afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/glast/applications/heasoft/PROD/tcltk/i686-pc-linux-gnu-libc2.3.2/include"
      • Uncomment and edit to reflect your Tcl/Tk versions are
  1. Run
    • *make
    • make install

*While running "make", if you run into any compiler problems finding tcl8.4 or tk8.4 libraries, try setting the environment variable, LD_RUN_PATH to point to the location of the tcltk libraries:

  1. make clean
  2. setenv LD_RUN_PATH <Location of tcltk libraries>
  3. make
  4. make install
  5. unsetenv LD_RUN_PATH

Mac operating system

  1. Download Python 2.5.1 from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.1/
  2. Unzip and change to the directory of the unpacked archive, E.g.,
    • tar -zxvf  Python-2.5.1.tgz
    • cd Python-2.5.1
  3. Run, "./configure --prefix=<installation directory>," E.g.,
    • ./configure --prefix=/afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/tiger-i386-32bit/python/2.5.1-gl1/gcc40/
  4. Edit the file, "Setup," in the "Modules" directory, "Modules/Setup"
    1. Enable zlib (Uncomment the line corresponding to "zlib")
    2. To build Python against tcltck 8.4, there are three lines to edit in the file (I would suggest searching for "_tkinter" in the Modules/Setup file, then follow the documentation)
      • Enable tkinter, by Uncommenting the line "_tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT "
      • Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk libraries are (/usr/lib)
        • -L/usr/lib
      • Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk headers are (/usr/include)
        • -I/usr/include
      • Uncomment and edit to reflect your Tcl/Tk versions are
      • Run
        1. make
        2. make install

cfitsio v3060A (patch)

Windows operating system

  1. Unpack the CFITSIO source files into a V:/Glast_Software/Toaster/GLAST_EXT/VC8/cfitsio/v3060A/cfitsio-v3.060A/ (or the location where you want to install)
  2. Execute C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003\vcvars32.bat
  3. Go to start->Programs->Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 ->Visual Studio .NET Tools
  4. Right-click "Visual Studio .NET 2003 Command Prompt"
  5. Edit the "Start in:" text box
    1. Enter the location of the unpacked cfitsio-v3.060A tar ball
      1.  
      2. "V:/Glast_Software/Toaster/GLAST_EXT/VC8/cfitsio/v3060A/cfitsio-v3.060A/

...

  1. Get the source from /nfs/farm/g/glast/u05/extlib/cfitsio/cfitsio-v3.060A-src.tar.gz
  2. Unzip in temporary directory
  3. cd into that directory
  4. Run the following (for a shared library, instead of running "make," run, "make shared")
    Code Block
     ./configure --prefix=<installation directory>
    make
    make install
    

Mac operating system

*Note:  Make sure you do the build from bldmac01 or bldmac02 (Intel processors). (smile)

After you unzip the file, if the OS is Mac-9 or earlier, refer to the file README.MacOs (located in the directory with unpacked contents of cfitsio, "cfitsio-v3.060A").

Follow the same directions for the Linux OS for Mac OS X or greater. The <installation directory> is /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/tiger-i386-32bit/cfitsio/v3060A/gcc40.

xerces 2.7.0-gl1 (patch)

Mac OS (tiger-i386-32bit)

*Note:  Make sure you do the build from bldmac01 or bldmac02 (Intel processors). (smile)

  1. The source can be found here /nfs/farm/g/glast/u05/extlib/xerces/xerces-c-src_2_7_0-gl1-mac.tar.gz
  2. Copy the source to a temporary directory
  3. Run the following
    Code Block
    tar -zxvf xerces-c-src_2_7_0-gl1-mac.tar.gz
    setenv XERCESCROOT <path-to-xerces-c-src_2_7_0-gl1-mac>/xerces-c-src_2_7_0-gl1-mac
    cd xerces-c-src_2_7_0-gl1-mac
    cd src/xercesc
    ./runConfigure -p macosx -n native -t native -P <install-path>
    
    

...

The problematic file was:  xerces/src/xercesc/util/Platforms/MacOS/MacOSDefs.hpp (thumbs down)

No need to fix this file because xerces-c-src_2_7_0-gl1-mac.tar.gz already contains the patch.

Obtaining the original MacOSDefs.hpp (without the patch)

...

    1. From within xerces-c-src_2_7_0-gl1-mac, copy (the contents) MacOSDefs.hpp-original to xerces/src/xercesc/util/Platforms/MacOS/MacOSDefs.hpp
    2. Repeat step 3 from above
  1. Grab, and extract, the original xerces-2.7.0 from /nfs/farm/g/glast/u05/extlib/xerces/xerces-c-src_2_7_0.tar.gz
    1. Code Block
      setenv XERCESCROOT <path-to-xerces-c-src_2_7_0>/xerces-c-src_2_7_0
      cd xerces-c-src_2_7_0
      cd src/xercesc
      ./runConfigure -p macosx -n native -t native -P <install-path>

(minus) You must remove /sw/bin from PATH variable to avoid the configure script from detecting, and attempting to use, Fink.

3.  Add $ROOTSYS/bin to PATH and $ROOTSYS/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
