Mark, dicomlib doesn't support Mac OS X, however I was able to make it place nice with boost as all it needs are some simple headers. If you really want to get it to work on OS X then your going to have to hack a little bit on dicomlib/socket as it has no idea what MACH, DARWIN, etc are... But only 16 errors that seem easily portable socket and endian related items. I created an Xcode project and the structure should look like so: dicom.xcodeproj boost_1_34_1 dicomlib dicomlib/socket Download: http://homepage.mac.com/jolix/FileSharing12.html ~Julian Cain On Nov 11, 2007, at 1:26 PM, Mark Roden wrote:
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to get leopard and boost to play nice, so that I can use dicomlib for another app. Apparently, dicom lib requires boost, because it gives 116 error messages if you try to compile in xcode without it.
To repro: 1) download dicomlib from http://dicomlib.swri.ca/joomla/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=26&func=fileinfo&id=32 2) put those files into an xcode project 3) watch as they don't compile with 116 errors all related to boost
I've tried: 1) including the boost header files in the xcode project. xcode doesn't care unless I change all the < to ", which is painful, time consuming, and frankly, stupid. 2) installing boost at /usr/local/include using ./configure make sudo make install as an administrator. Of course, the boost library is handily titled 'boost-1_34_1' instead of something like 'boost', which means that I have to soft link it using ln -s. Neither the regular install nor the ln option gets around the 115 compile errors. 3) I tried bjam -sTOOLS=darwin and bjam -sTOOLS=darwin - sBUILD=framework, neither of which work, both of which give errors that ld -h is an unrecongized option. I don't know where the linker options are defined, so maybe just getting rid of -h would do it, but that switch probably means something, so just wholesale removing a compiler switch may not be the best move.
So here's the real question: How do I make this work? I've lost about 24 hours to this, and I just don't see how it's gonna work.
In the meantime, I'm guessing I'm gonna go with http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/math_science/quickdicomtoolkit.html
but knowing my luck, that will require something similar as well....
Thanks for your help, Mark
