[Insight-users] Cannot build ITK for MAC OS X Tiger 64 bit

[Alex Lisovich]

Sean, Luis,

It seems it's not possible to compile CableSwig in 64 bit mode on Mac
by definition.
The error ioccurs in ../GCC/gcc/real.h of CableSwig:

"error: size of array 'test_real_width' is negative"

The source of the error is in the file ../GCC/gcc/auto-host.h in
CableSwig build directory which is generated automatically by CMake.
There is a definition in this file for the size of a long type:

/* The number of bytes in type long */
#define SIZEOF_LONG 4

which naturally leads to the compilation failure above for 64 bits.
When I changed the SIZEOF_LONG to 8, CableSwig compiled fine. The
problem is, this file is generated at the very beginning of ccmake
session (after your hit "configure" the first time), when there is no
means to specify the architecture! This looks like a serious Mac
specific problem to me (Windows is OK because of using long longs),
which will persist for any future version of OS X unless fixed at
CMake logic level. Is there any way to easily fix it now without
manual editing of auto-host.h?


Thank you,

Alex
