2001/11/16 ROOT-3.02.03 on MacOS X Release

An update to ROOT v.3.02 is now available from the ROOT team, which officially supports MacOS X and can be built out of the box. When I came to run a test program (test/bench), however, I had a problem with loading dylibs. I thus had to apply root_v3.02.03-macosx-test.patch to "test/Makefile.in". If you also want Aclock to work, you need root_v3.01.04-macosx-aclock.patch, too. The binary tarball root_v3.02.03-macosx.tar.gz is built with all of these patches.

As for the RPMs I have built for MacOS X Release, the following directories might be useful:

SPECS

SOURCES

SRPMS

RPMS

where you can find spec files, my private patches, source RPMs, and binary RPMs, respectively. Note that the RPMS directory contains two subdirectories, "ppc" for architecture-dependent binariy packages, while "noarch" for those architecture-independent. For those packages without real source RPMs or those provided only as tar balls, you can find the corresponding original source packages and my private patches in src. The binary tar balls are in tgz.

These packages have been tested on my machines (G3 Series PowerBook, aka Wallstreet and Ti PowerBook G4) but might not work on your platform. Install them thus at your own risk.

Notice also that new packages are under ~fujiik/macosx/10.1.X/, while the old ones built on Public Beta are directly under ~fujiik/macosx/ and will not be supported.
