compilation on macOS fails in configure stage

[MNMikeN]

Don't know from where I should get the lzw dependency. But even without lzw ./configure fails:

[pts]

Thank you for reporting this!

This error (cannot compute depends) should be easy fo fix, but for that I need additional input from you. In the file config.log, search for running make Makedep, and copy-paste the lines following it here. (Anything after ------ is not needed.) These log lines help me diagnose and fix the problem in ccdep.pl.

Please use ./configure --enable-lzw --enable-gif, and ignore the warnings about lzw_codec.

[MNMikeN]

With pleasure. The requested lines:

[pts]

Please do a git pull, then ./configure --enable-lzw --enable-gif, then make. It should work now.

I'll follow up with a more permanent fix.

[MNMikeN]

Fresh clone. Superficially the same error. Log attached with extension txt.

config.txt

[pts]

Done more fixes 7eac929bb41cdb41aeef15fd56334b31cd618206. The latest sam2p should work now.

[MNMikeN]

Yep. Configured and made successfully. Many thanks.

[pts]

Actually, sam2p is now providing official binaries for macOS. (I've just added them.) Could you please check if they work on your Mac equivalently to the binary you compiled from source?

• https://github.com/pts/sam2p/releases/download/v0.49.3/sam2p.darwinc32
• https://github.com/pts/sam2p/releases/download/v0.49.3/sam2p.darwinc64
• https://github.com/pts/tif22pnm/releases/download/2014-01-09/png22pnm.darwinc32
• https://github.com/pts/tif22pnm/releases/download/2014-01-09/png22pnm.darwinc64

After downloading you need to do chmod 755 *.darwinc*, and also cp png22pnm.darwinc32 png22pnm, and copy png22pnm to your $PATH so that sam2p will find it.

[MNMikeN]

Very limited testing says: the downloaded sam2p.darwin64 binary works. Tried it on the beauty of try.eps. File size is identical to the produced with the compiled binary.

If you want more testing, please advise on the testing routines you might want to see.

[pts]

Please test (with a test.png and test.jpg of your choice):

Reading png files needs png22pnm. Please use png22pnm.darwinc32 above:

chmod 755 png22pnm.darwinc32
sudo cp png22pnm /usr/local/bin/png22pnm

Then test it with these commands:

./sam2p test.jpg testj.pdf
./sam2p test.jpg testj.eps
./sam2p test.png testp.pdf
./sam2p test.png testp.eps
./sam2p.darwinc32 test.jpg testj3.pdf

[MNMikeN]

All cmp commands came out clean on two sets of paired jpeg and png files.

[pts]

Excellent news about the successful comparison, thank you very much for running them! Then I consider the macOS binary release of sam2p a success.

I've created a new issue https://github.com/pts/sam2p/issues/5 to make ccdep.pl more resilient, thus make such ./configure issues happen much less likely in the future.
