[sage-devel] OS X 10.6 port

I forwarded the original message on to matplotlib-devel. It would be
helpful if when replying to this message or any in this thread if we
CC the matplotlib-devel mailing list. I'm the list moderator so I can

Just to add (which I've also CC'ed to John), mathplotlib (at least the

This is a very long-standing bug in distutils:

Issue 1222585: C++ compilation support for distutils - Python tracker

While distutils distinguishes between C and C++ for *linking*, it does not do so for *compiling*. This doesn't matter for gcc and msvc (which are arguably the two most popular compilers for Python), but probably does for most commercial Unix compilers. I have no idea why this patch has never been applied in all these years -- but please jump on that bug report so we can see about getting it fixed.

As for us at STScI, we just build matplotlib with gcc on Solaris and it works fine.

I forgot a detail: you have to use a script to edit the commandline arguments to pass to gcc:

#!/bin/sh
y=""
for x in $*
do
       case "$x"
       in
       -xcode*)
               echo skip $x
               ;;
       *)
               y="$y $x"
               ;;
       esac
done
gcc $y

and then do

CC=gcc_hack python setup.py build

(where gcc_hack is the path to the above script)

I've registered on the python bug tracker, and submitted a request that this bug is solved. The patch on there is against a 3-year old version of python, so I'd rather not try to integrate it myself, especially as the patch is non-trivial.

I expected that trying to build Sage with Sun Studio would uncover some bugs in other software, but even I am amazed at just how many bugs this uncovers.

If you could just try running your matplotlib build on
bsd.math.washington.edu and reporting about whether or not it works,
that would be very helpful, since it will indicate whether the problem
is somehow in Sage or in pyCXX or Matplotlib itself or something else.

I was able to build into a mostly clean environment (rebuild all deps
zlip, freetype, png) using my OSX make file in, but I had to update

HEAD).

One thing to keep in mind is that the default for GCC on OS X 10.6 is
to build 64-bit binaries. With OS X 10.5 the default for GCC was to
make 32-bit binaries. (To get 64-bit you used to have to do "-m64",
but that is now the default.) So you really have to start from
scratch.

It's using the "bsd" Mac machine from William, I guess the same as
John was using above.

Has anybody figured out a solution? Apparently Sage must work on the
Mac, so it must be something different than just matplotlib? Some
other package, that we have in femhub, but not in Sage, or some
different version of something. Here is a list of packages that I have
installed:

Hi Ondrej,

Good things last and take time.

2010/4/13 Ondrej Certik <ondrej@...583...>:

I am now getting the exact same problem with pylab and FEMhub and Mac.
I used http://sagemath.org/packages/standard/matplotlib-0.99.1.p4.spkg:

It might a different problem than just architecture mismatch. But
maybe I'm getting something wrong and misunderstand you.

Michael, notice that 0.99.1 seems to the last version before your
commit af9954d46e5 which introduces versioning of the fontcache. (It
is not tagged in git, only the commit message reveals it:
8398d9bd2c47.

I cannot see from http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7022 what
happened between the sagemath matplotlib-0.99.1.p2.spkg to
matplotlib-0.99.1.p4.spkg (patch 2 => patch 4). But the last post by
jhpalmieri on that page might be related: "[...] But with my computer,
"uname -r" returns "10.2.0", not "10.0.0". [...]" On my system it
returns currently 10.8.0 (I think since it's OS X 10.6.8).

John was using above.

Has anybody figured out a solution? Apparently Sage must work on the

Can you please check if you do have /Library/Fonts/NISC18030.ttf on
your system and maybe do a ``stat -f "%c"
/Library/Fonts/NISC18030.ttf`` on it? For me, this one generates a
Bus error (32bit) / Abort trap (64bit) on importing matplotlib.figure,
for example. My issue is related to loading that font file I
specified. It might a different font file for you and it might also
be totally unrelated at all :-/

Or maybe you solved the problem in the meantime?

Do you still have this machine? William, assumed he's William Stein,
was the one who posted
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/2c538915abc99946
in 2009, and who was able to partly track it down.

From the page http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7022 I see

that exactly that font file was installed on it (probably).

Thanks,
Friedrich

Looks ok. But I didn't check it in detail. I think it might be unrelated.
