[ADMB Users] MacOS progress/wishlist

[Ben Bolker]

  Thanks to Dave for the response yesterday.  I have done some
struggling on my own, with the following comments/wishlist items:

1. it's still really easy to find the old ADMB SVN repository and get
confused, at least it was for me.

  Could someone please update

http://code.google.com/p/admb-project/source/checkout

  so that it indicates that it is an old version and points to (or
replicates the information on)

http://admb-project.org/news/admb-anonymous-source-version-control-available

  ?


2. Examining GNUmakefile showed "-m32" in the compiler flags.  Changing
it to "-m64" followed by "make clean; make; make install" gets me
partway through my problem.
I'm not sure what the best solution is in terms of helping future users
get through this.  I poked around a bit in
scripts/configure/configure.ac , which is ultimately what determines the
contents of GNUmakefile; there is apparently (?) logic that is trying to
autodetect 32- vs 64-bit systems, but I guess it fails on my system?

3. after that I ran into this problem:

ld: duplicate symbol lgam(double)in
/usr/local/admb/lib/libado.a(cgamdev.obj) and
/usr/local/admb/lib/libdf1b2o.a(df13tester.obj)


which is referenced here:
http://groups.google.com/group/admb-users/browse_thread/thread/c90d220c6b6b17ca


  My solution was:

  a. delete src/df1b2-separable/df13tester.cpp
  b. remove the df13tester.obj line from src/df1b2-separable/objects.lst
  c. remove object files containing the bad stuff from the build

find . -type f -exec grep -H df13tester {} \; | grep -v svn

although "make clean" would probably have been easier

  d. make; make install

 this allows me to compile the file I am interested in.

  *** It would be really nice if one of the developers could make these
changes (tested appropriately of course) to the SVN source ... ***

4. "make test" still fails on my machine, starting from here:

g++ -c -I/usr/local/gtest-1.5.0/include -O3 -Wno-deprecated -D__GNUDOS__
-Dlinux -DSAFE_ALL -DUSE_LAPLACE -fpermissive -I.
-I/usr/local/admb-svn2/build/admb-10.1-macos10.6.7-xcode3.2.6-32bit/admb-10.1-macos10.6.7-xcode3.2.6-32bit/include
test_atan2.cpp
test_atan2.cpp:1:25: error: gtest/gtest.h: No such file or directory
test_atan2.cpp:13: error: ‘::testing’ has not been declared

  any ideas?
  (this is lower priority for me now since I can compile my TPL file of
interest)

5. It would be really nice, and I think it is possible, to set up ADMB
so that it could generate "multi-architecture" TPL files.  For example,
when I query the results of my compilation I get

glmmadmb: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

I think it is possible to use something like CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch
x86_64" at some point, but when I naively hack GNUmakefile to reflect
this I get

lipo: /var/folders/5A/5A99Opv1HbSJQA2Bnw6oqE++r-g/-Tmp-//ccERu1s8.out
and /var/folders/5A/5A99Opv1HbSJQA2Bnw6oqE++r-g/-Tmp-//ccOGn9us.out have
the same architectures (x86_64) and can't be in the same fat output file

  I am most definitely not a Mac expert.  Does anyone know how to do
this (by hacking GNUmakefile if possible, even better would be
specifying arguments to ./configure) ?

  cheers
