A worthy and very appreciated effort. But I would suggest trying it
without Fink or Macports. I've had significant problems with both
Fink and Macports. They both seem to change (and are broken) very
often. When I next take a run at this I'm going to try it without
either Fink or Macports; install all the parts directly.

I've been working on getting Xastir running on OSX as well. I've been

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.

Thanks to many of you, especially Jason and Curt I now have Xastir
v1.9.5 up
and running and all the menus look good and work on Mac OSX.
But it looks like I could add some functionality, such as dbfawk
support at
the least. I'm just not sure how to adjust my ./configure file to
add it.
I'd like to add map caching too if that's even possible in OSX, and
any
other recommendations the list might have.
Currently I run this;
./configure --with-motif-includes=/usr/OpenMotif/include
--with-motif-libs=/usr/OpenMotif/lib --without-perl
And Xastir is configured like this;
MINIMUM OPTIONS:
ShapeLib (Vector maps) ................. : yes
RECOMMENDED OPTIONS:
-n GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick (Raster maps) :
yes (GraphicsMagick)
pcre (Shapefile customization) ......... : no
dbfawk (Shapefile customization) ....... : no
rtree indexing (Shapefile speedups) .... : yes
map caching (Raster map speedups) ...... : no
internet map retrieval ................. : yes (libcurl)
FOR THE ADVENTUROUS:
AX25 (Linux Kernel I/O Drivers) ........ : no
libproj (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : no
GeoTiff (USGS Topos & Aerial Photos) ... : no
Festival (Text-to-speech) .............. : no
GDAL/OGR (Obtuse map formats) .......... : no
GPSMan/gpsmanshp (GPS downloads) ....... : no
