[Developers] Release 1619 fails on Mac OS - but 1624 works, thanks to Chris

[Jon Schnute]

Hi Mollie – Thanks for your message. You might be interested to know that
this really was a problem for me, even though it wasn’t for you. Apparently,
you have later versions of Mac OS and Xcode than I do. More recent versions
automatically add a space in options like “-oad2csv”, so that your system
would see “-o ad2csv”, but mine does not.

 

I know this thanks to an extensive conversation and testing session with
Chris Grandin this morning. He added the necessary spaces to ADMB scripts so
that they work with all versions of Xcode. Release 1624 now works on older
Mac systems like mine. Great work, Chris!

 

Incidentally, “make –j” fails on my Mac because it has an older chip with
too few cores. Chris says this will only work with newer processors that
have at least four cores.

 

Best wishes,

 

Jon

Hi John,

I use a Mac also.

I got versions 1618 and 1620 to compile. I didn’t try 1619.

Maybe you could try again starting from scratch (update and make clean)?

 

 

I have OSX Version 10.9.1

My g++ info is as follows

bash-3.2$ g++ -v

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr
--with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)

Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0

Thread model: posix

 

Cheers,

Mollie

I recently downloaded the source code for release 1619. The “make” procedure
worked with no problem in Windows, using the 64-bit tools posted at
<http://www.admb-project.org/tools/admb-tools-for-windows>
http://www.admb-project.org/tools/admb-tools-for-windows. However, when I
tried to do the same thing on a Mac (OS X Lion 10.7.5, Xcode 4.2.1), the
procedure failed with the final messages shown below. Note that “–oad2csv”
appears as an unknown option to g++.

 

Please let me know when this is fixed. Thanks,

 

Jon
