README.MacOSX

GtkMathView can be compiled under MacOSX 10.2.8 (and presumably later
versions). Currently only the SVG backend is supported.

Requirements
============

You will need the following libraries installed:

* GLib >= 2.2.1
* libxml2 >= 2.6.7
* popt >= 1.7

In order to create the configuration files from the CVS repository,
the following packages are also needed:

* automake >= 1.7.6
* autoconf >= 2.57
* libxslt-bin >= 1.0.32 (xsltproc)

It is possible that GtkMathView will compile with older versions of
the libraries/packages above, but this has not been tested.

Compiling
=========

I'm assuming that you will be using fink packages. In this case most
or all of the required libraries and include files will be installed
under

	/sw/lib
	/sw/include

To configure GtkMathView properly, use this line

./configure 
	CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include
	LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib
	--disable-gtk
	[--disable-custom-reader]
	[--disable-libxml2-reader]
	[--disable-boxml]

The options in square brackets will disable some unusual features to
save you considerable compilation time.

With

	powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)

you need

	make CCLD=g++

in order to avoid linking issues.

Fonts
=====

In order to use Computer Modern fonts, download and drag them in your
Font folder.

Note about the GTK+ backend
===========================

The compiler

	gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1493)

which is installed in some versions of MacOSX cannot compile

	src/backend/gtk/Gtk_RenderingContext

so in order to compile GtkMathView you have to disable the GTK+ backend by
specifying --disable-gtk at configuration time.
