I've been working on getting Xastir running on OSX as well. I've been documenting steps and will hopefully have a complete wiki install guide posted once I get everything working.
I got dbfawk (according to About Xastir anyway...haven't transferred and tested maps yet) with fink. Download and install: http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php?phpLang=en Then ran: sudo apt-get install imagemagic pcre db42 lcms proj gdal libpng libxml2 I got "couldn't find package" errors from gdal and libpng. It suggested libpng3 and libpng-shlibs--which of these is appropriate for Xastir? What should I do about gdal (and what features will I miss without it)? Xastir isn't finding imagemagic, although it's installed at /sw/bin/ which is in my PATH. What can I do about this? With these dependencies installed and using ./configure --with-motif-includes=/usr/OpenMotif/include/ I'm only getting "Libraries used: libProj ShapeLib PCRE Dbfawk rtree libcurl @(#)Motif Version 2.2.2i (2.1.32)". How can I link the rest? Xastir on OSX seems to be gaining popularity lately. I'm eager to nail down a complete install process that can be duplicated.
