Re: [eclipse-users] Mac OSX intel install

Hi Serge,

Thanks for trying this -- as we don't have access to Intel Macs, we need others to try to compile
on the Macs right now, and we would like to get it working...

I have ran into this problem with fresh builds on some other platforms. The way round it seems
to be create a (in your case) i386_macosx directory in Eclipse/icparc_solver. Try this and let me
know if it gets around the 'No rule to make..' problem

The libeclipse.dylib is in the right place, so it should be found. I don't know if it really can't find
libeclipse.dylib, or if it has problems with some other file libeclipse.dylib depends on [some OS
apparently do not report the problem correctly :-(].

bin/i386_macosx/eclipse is actually a shell script that runs ECLiPSe, can you see what
it actually is?  Here is what the ppc_macosx version that I built a while ago says:

kish_at_bodgerix:~/EclipseDevOld/bin/ppc_macosx> more eclipse
#! /bin/sh
ECLIPSEDIR="${ECLIPSEDIR:-/homes/ks15/EclipseDev}"
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$ECLIPSEDIR/lib/ppc_macosx:/homes/ks15/EclipseDev/tcltk/ppc_m
acosx/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH="$TCL_FRAMEWORK:$DYLD_FRAMWORK_PATH"
TCL_LIBRARY="${TCL_LIBRARY:-/homes/ks15/EclipseDev/tcltk/lib/tcl8.4}"
TK_LIBRARY="${TK_LIBRARY:-/homes/ks15/EclipseDev/tcltk/lib/tk8.4}"
DAVINCIHOME="${DAVINCIHOME:-/homes/ks15/EclipseDev/daVinci/ppc_macosx}"
JRE_HOME="${JRE_HOME:-/Library/Java/Home}"
export ECLIPSEDIR TCL_LIBRARY TK_LIBRARY DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH D
AVINCIHOME JRE_HOME
exec "/homes/ks15/EclipseDev/lib/ppc_macosx/eclipse.exe" "$@"

===========

In particular, the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH line should have $ECLIPSEDIR/lib/i386_macosx in
your case...

Cheers,

Kish
