Installation on Mac OSX not Lion yet

The preparation you need do:

1. Download the software and put it on your hard drive in a directory called flooxs.

2. Get the Developer Package for Mac and installed. XCode is free on the App Store. To avoid XCode (since large memory storage required), you can download the Apple Command Line Tools instead.

3. Make sure you have the X11 or terminal.

4. If possible get a good text editor, like smultron.

5. Download macports.

Installing & Compiling FLOOXS on Mac:

1. With macports, install: Plplot, Tcl-tk, Aquaterm, and Suitesparse

2. Update the arch/macosx file to point to plplot folder you downloaded

3. Go to the /flooxs/src directory and run:

  export FLXSHOME=/flooxs
  export PL_LIBRARY=/opt/local/share/plplot5.12.0/tcl/
  make depend ARCH=macosx

NOTE: You might need to run make depend again for no errors.

4. Once all errors are fixed, type in the command line:

  make ARCH=macosx

5. You need a start up file to set up environments. Below is an example of text in the start up file:

  export FLXSHOME=/flooxs
  export PL_LIBRARY=/opt/local/share/plplot5.12.0/tcl/
  alias iflooxs=/flooxs/src/flooxs.new

6. You can source the start up file from Step 5 and when you run the command iflooxs, it should run FLOOXS. Below is how to run FLOOXS without the start up file.

How to run the simulation on the Mac:

1. Go to Application --> Utilities, open X11.

2. Make sure you are working at the csh, if it is bash, please type csh, it will directly change to the csh.

3. Find the floops software where you put it, if you put it at the desktop, please type the following,

  & ls
  & cd Desktop
  & cd floops

4. Now you are at the floops directory, when you type cd, you will see NewExpr this file.

5. Then type the following commands,

  & setenv FLXSHOME `pwd`
  & cd src
  & ls
  & ./flooxs.new -device 

After these steps, when you see the following commands, that means you successfully launching the flooxs.

  i 0 argv ./flooxs.new
  i 1 argv -device
  i 0 argv ./flooxs.new
