Since Dec2002 DevTools contain updated gcc compilers, I decided to update gcc-with-g77 accordingly. The lates version of ROOT (v.3.04.02) has been built with this new compiler suite and found to work OK: notice that a binary tarball for MacOS X is now available from the official ROOT site, thanks to Fons Rademakers of the ROOT team. Pythia-related libraries are missing, however, from the tarball. This is why I recompiled ROOT myself. For those who does not need Pythia support, Fons's package should be OK.
The building procedures of g77 and root can be found in my HEP on X page. Their binary packages are also available from there.
X11 for MacOS X is another good news. I am now testing it.
As for the RPMs I have built for MacOS X Release 10.2.X, the following directories might be useful:
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/10.2.X/, while the old ones built on Release 10.1.X, 10.0.X, and Public Beta are under ~fujiik/macosx/10.1.X/, ~fujiik/macosx/10.0.X/, and ~fujiik/macosx/, respectively, and will not be supported.
