instructions from the wx9grb site, my preference, since I've been following
their format as best I can.
They are (please tell me if you see any problems) as follows:
1) Download Xastir from http://www.xastir.org and put it in your home
directory. You may want to keep the source directory after you finish
installing. It will make things easier if you want to update Xastir later via
CVS. Next, from a x11 terminal window type in the following list of commands:
2) tar -xvzf xastir* (for example tar -xvzf xastir121-2003-Jul-02.tgz)
3) mv xastir* xastir
4) cd xastir
5) ./bootstrap.sh
6) ./configure
7) make
8) sudo make install-strip
"tar" is one of those weird Linux/Unix commands that doesn't use
dashes for the options, so I believe it should be something like:
tar xvzf xastir121-2003-Jul-02.tgz
unless they've messed with "tar" on the Mac to require the dashes.
Here's how I would do it:
*) Download the latest devel snapshot (Sept 16th)
*) "tar xzvf xastir199-2010-Sep-16.tgz"
This will create a new directory called "xastir199" and
decompress the contents of the .tgz file into there.
*) "cd xastir199"
*) "./bootstrap.sh"
Make sure you don't get any errors at this stage. You may need
to install automake & autoconf before this command will succeed.
*) "./configure"
Check some of the Mac-specific instructions 'cuz you may want to
add some flags there to pick up some additional directories that
have libraries of interest. Like the configure line you quoted
below.
*) "make"
*) "sudo make install"
"make install-strip" is also ok, which removes debugging info
from the executable.
if you want to enable map caching use:
6) ./configure --with-bdb-incdir=/opt/local/include/db42
--with-bdb-libdir=/opt/local/lib/db42
