Installation notes for EPICS on Mac OS X (Darwin).
==================================================
$Id$
EPICS Base
==========
1) EPICS for Mac OS X (Darwin) can not be built with OS X Developer Tools
older than the April 2002 release. The April tools, which were the most
recent when this note was written, are not bug-free. The compiler produces
bad code when run with -O3 or higher so CONFIG.darwin-ppc.darwin-ppc sets
the optimization level to -O2. Hopefully a new release of developer tools
will remove this restriction.
2) If broadcasts are not seen locally, then it may help to add "localhost"
(127.0.0.1) to the EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST.
EPICS Extensions
================
Many extensions build and run properly on OS X. To build and run MEDM, first
obtain the X11 and OpenMotif3 packages from the Fink distribution. Running
X11 applications on Darwin is quite a bit easier if you install the OroborOSX
application as well.
