Prolix

Ask us to port a specific application.

Prolix

Postby markamon » Sat Sep 28, 2002 5:31 am

Hi. I would like to be able to use a program called Prolix ( http://prolix.sourceforge.net ) which is written for Linux. The website says it works on Mac OS X but doesn't say how to make it work. I have tried to get this to work for ages. Could someone please port it to mac os x or at least help me make it work?

Thanks,

Just in case it helps, here is the output I get:

<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><hr><pre>
# Prolix - Sesquipedalian Chimerical Juju
# Compiling for gtk.
Checking for a compiler, g++
Checking for LibDL, not found.
Checking for dlfcn.h, not found.
Checking for POLL, not found.
Checking for SELECT, not found.
We were unable to find either <poll.h>, <sys/poll.h>, or
a means to use select. You can try using
./configure --force_select
If you know you have select.
</pre>[/quote]

It says I don't have LibDL, but I know I do because I installed it using the installer package on this website. I've got no idea what the other things are

After installing ncurses-5.2.pkg and gtk-1.2.10.pkg I got the following output when trying to use the program:

<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><hr><pre>
# Prolix - Sesquipedalian Chimerical Juju
# Compiling for gtk.
Checking for a compiler, g++
Checking for LibDL, not found.
Checking for dlfcn.h, not found.
Checking for POLL, not found.
Checking for SELECT, found.
Checking for -pthread, yes.
Checking for pthread_kill, skipping.
Checking for signed char, yes
Checking for -export-dynamic, /usr/bin/ld: unknown flag: -export-dynamic
no.
Checking for GnomeUI, not found.
Fatal: The gtk version of Prolix requires gnomeui.
</pre>[/quote]

I don't know if this helps anyone when trying to port it but I thought I should put it here anyway in case it does help
