'''Configuring the X Server'''

There are two options you can use to address event processing issues (missed button presses) on the Mac and make slicer easier to use:

* activate focus follows mouse mode for X11 windows

defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm true

'''or'''

* keep click to focus behavior, but passes the click event to the clicked window

defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through true

<br />

'''Note: these remainder of these instructions refer to the steps needed to compile the 2.4 release of slicer. The current cvs version includes patches to genlib.tcl that perform these steps automatically.'''

<br />

== XFilterEvent() ==

On Mac OSX 10.3 the X server seems to have a bug in processing certiain events.

You can address this by applying the following patch to the file generic/tkEvent.c in the tk release tagged core-8-4-6.

939a940,942
>
> /* the XFilterEvent call causes a long delay on Mac OSX for no apparent benefit */
> #if 0
942a946
> #endif

This has the effect of removing a call to XFilterEvents().

The patch is also available from Xythos at: https://share.spl.harvard.edu/xythoswfs/webui/share/birn/public/software/External/Patches/tkEventPatch.diff. To apply the patch, copy it into the directory slicer2/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl/tk/generic and run the command:

patch -i tkEventPatch.diff

from that directory. To compile, create the directory slicer2/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl-build, then change directories to slicer/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl/tk/unix, and run:

./configure --with-tcl=/YourSlicerPath/slicer2/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl-build/lib --prefix=/YourSlicerPath/slicer2/Lib/darwin-ppc/tcl-build
make
make install

== ranlib ==

The ranlib command needs to be run manually on some tcl/tk libraries.

== BLT ==

Currently, BLT does not compile for the mac. The error is:

ld: common symbols not allowed with MH_DYLIB output format with the -multi_module option

followed by a list of symbols.

BLT needs to be manually commented out of the Scripts/genlib.tcl file, and vtkFMRIEngine will not build or run.

Alternatively, --with-cflags="-fno-common" can be added to the configure input to fix this 'common symbols not allowed' problem. But this necessitates linking the tcl,tk and X libs in certain files. Here's the Makefile.in diffs, in the src and src/shared directories, showing the additional $(LIBS). Also, a separate bug in src/shared/Makefile.in is that $(bltsh) must be added to the dependency list (see diffs below).

format: diff <newly changed file> <original file>

This is the script I use that successfully builds and installs everything on Mac OS X Tiger:

cd blt2.4z
make distclean
./configure --prefix="$PKGS_ROOT" --enable-shared --with-tcl="$PKGS_ROOT" --with-tk="$PKGS_ROOT" \
--enable-jpeg="$PKGS_ROOT" --x-includes="/usr/X11R6/include" --with-cflags="-fno-common"
make
make install

== VTK ==

First let genlib run through the VTK checkout and let it attempt to build. It will fail with a message that it cannot find some opengl symbols. To compile vtk:

cd Lib/darwin-ppc/VTK-build
../CMake-build/bin/ccmake ../VTK

in ccmake, hit 't' and add -lgl to the OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY so it reads: -framework OpenGL -lgl
and turn ON VTK_USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB

Then run make to finish the build of VTK.

After VTK finishes building, re-run genlib.tcl to build ITK.
