OSX: sddsplots, mpl_motif, & architecture x86_64 issue

[JoelFrederico]

Hi,

Just having a problem with mpl_motif and architecture apparently:

Code: Select all

clang++ -o mpl_motif  -L/Users/joelfrederico/src/epics/extensions/lib/darwin-x86 -L/opt/X11/lib       -arch x86_64                mpl_motif.o xwdfunc.o   -lmdbplt -lSDDS1 -lmdbmth -lmdblib -llzma -lXmu -lXt -lX11  -lgd -lpng -lz

I don't know what to do about what seems to be the main line:

Code: Select all

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

Any help?

I'm really just trying to compile python support: sddsdatamodule.so for OSX 10.8.4. How would I go about doing that?

[soliday]

If you made it to building mpl_motif, you have already built the SDDS libraries that are needed for SDDSPython. You would just need to run make in the Python directory. I had never tried building SDDSPython on OSX before but I just did and it works. I am posting my version online for you to use.

http://www.aps.anl.gov/asd/oag/download ... hon.tar.gz

You would need to unpack this into /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/

Hopefully there shouldn't be a need to compile SDDS yourself because is it not very easy on OSX. I have decided not to use Fink and instead use MacPorts because it allows me to create universal binaries which makes my job easier.

[JoelFrederico]

Thanks so much. I've discovered how difficult it is to build anything EPICS-related many many many times. Is there any description or guide for doing it? It almost seems like a black box - just email somebody at ANL to build it for you, it's easier that way?

I know this is more of a python issue, but this works on Red Hat:

Code: Select all

import sdds.sddsdata as sddsdata

On OSX it complains that it can't find a module named sddsdata. This works on OSX:

Code: Select all

import sddsdata

On Red Hat, it complains that it can't find a module named sddsdata. Is import working differently on OSX and RedHat? What's going on??

EDIT: Nevermind. This is the result of a custom install I did where I put sdds.py and sddsdatamodule.so in its own directory sdds in site-packages, and then included an __init__.py of "from sdds import *" to turn it into a package of its own... I don't remember why I did that. It might have been to make the demo code work, but my memory's fuzzy...
