Additional notes:
Apple's X11 server software, Xcode developer tools, and X11
SDK are distributed with Mac OS X but are not part of the
Mac OS X default installation. They are installed by
double-clicking, in turn, the files
X11User.pkg,
Developer.mpkg, and
X11SDK.pkg. These files may be present
on the hard drive, the Mac OS X installation CDs, or DVD.
Developer.mpkg and
X11SDK.pkg are part of the Xcode
distribution.
The compiler distributed with Xcode 1.5 may need
updating with Apple's
November2004GCCUpdater package.
If the command gcc -v yields build
number 1666 then the updater package must be applied.
If the build number is 1671 then the updater package
does not need to be applied.
November2004GCCUpdater is
available from Apple's Developer
Connection page.
ITK 2.2 is required when building SCIRun with ITK support (SCIRun's ITK package). Earlier versions of ITK will not work.
Proceed to “Installation from a Binary Tarball” to install SCIRun from a tarball.
Proceed to “Installation from Source Code” to build SCIRun from source code.
