Building Mauve for Mac
Brief instructions for the lazy
- Ensure that pkg-config is installed
svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/mauve/code/build_scriptscd build_scripts./build_osx.sh
The resulting Mauve.app binaries will be located in
build/mauve/dist/
note that the build process will fail at the code signing stage, but the error can be safely ignored and the app used unsigned.
Detailed build instructions
This can be obtained from the App store
These are required to build Mauve, and many other open source tools:
curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
tar -xzf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
cd autoconf-2.69
./configure && make && sudo make install
cd ..
curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.14.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf automake-1.14.1.tar.gz
cd automake-1.14.1
./configure && make && sudo make install
cd ..
curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.4.tar.gz
tar -xzf libtool-2.4.4.tar.gz
cd libtool-2.4.4
./configure && make && sudo make install
cd ..
curl -OL http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz
tar -xzf pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz
cd pkg-config-0.28
./configure --with-internal-glib && make && sudo make install
cd ..
Phase 2. Build the aligners
Once Xcode, autotools, and pkg-config have been installed, it’s necessary to set CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS appropriately:
export CFLAGS="-O3 -g -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -arch i386 -arch x86_64"
export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -g -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -arch i386 -arch x86_64"
the above do not permit linking with boost libs!
It may be desirable to set these variables inside $HOME/.profile so they get configured automatically on login. Other important environment variables and their settings may be:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/lib/pkgconfig"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/lib"
export SVN_EDITOR=vi
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH"
At this point, the mauveAligner source and libraries can be built with the usual procedure. When running ./configure, it is necessary to add both –disable-shared for an OS X build:
curl -OL http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2
tar -xjf boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2
cd boost_1_57_0
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$HOME --with-libraries=filesystem,iostreams,program_options,system
./b2 -a -j4 toolset=darwin link=static install
cd ..
cd libGenome ; ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-shared
make install ; cd ..
cd muscle ; ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-shared
make ; make install ; cd ..
cd libMems ; ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-shared
make install ; cd ..
cd mauveAligner ; ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-shared
make install ; cd ..
cd sgEvolver ; ./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME --disable-shared
make install ; cd ..
Phase 3. Build the Java GUI and make a disk image
This part of the build requires a Java Development Kit and Apache Ant to be installed. With that done, copy the freshly build mauveAligner and progressiveMauve binaries into the mauve/osx subdirectory and strip them of debugging symbols:
strip osx/mauveAligner
strip osx/progressiveMauve
That reduces the distributable binary size from >100Mb to less than 10Mb. Then run:
Since Apple’s migration to Intel CPUs, Mac software should be compiled for both Intel and PowerPC CPUs, at least for the time being. Apple refers to programs with both PPC and x86 code as “universal”. Building a universal library with GNU autotools is nearly impossible, so it’s necessary to build x86 and PPC libraries and binaries separately and then join the result with the lipo tool. To build for a PowerPC CPU on an Intel machine, set the following environment variables:
export CFLAGS="-O3 -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk -arch ppc"
export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk -arch ppc"
And compile boost with bjam "-sTOOLS=darwin" "-sGXX=g++ -O3 -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk -arch ppc" "-sGCC=gcc -O3 -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk -arch ppc" "-sBUILD=release <linkflags>-Wl,-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.9.sdk <runtime-link>static <threading>single/multi" --prefix=$HOME install The rest of the build procedure remains the same. The resulting libraries and applications will run on any PowerPC mac with an OS as old as 10.3.9. To create a single universal binary for mauveAligner, run something akin to the following command lipo -create mauveAligner-intel mauveAligner-ppc -output mauveAligner where mauveAligner-intel and mauveAligner-ppc are the paths to the intel and ppc mauveAligner binaries, respectively.
