If you are looking for an easy way to install ARB on OS X, then see the instructions in the file
ARB_OS_X_MacPorts.txt.  There you will find instructions for installing ARB, including all of the
necesary dependencies using MacPorts the easy way.

Continue with the steps below only if you want to build ARB and its dependencies by hand the hard way.

Building 64-bit ARB on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard 10.6)

Warning - installing the 64-bit version of ARB will break ARB installed by Fink!

The cshrc shell is indicated by the % prompt.
Downloads are placed on the Desktop and final installation will be in /usr/local/arb
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- If ARB was previously installed using Fink you must first remove ARB and then skip to step (XQuartz).
        
        % fink remove arb

- If arb is not installed by fink start by installing the Developer Tools from the Leopard disc.

        Use the Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD to install the developer tools

- Install Fink 

        Get it from (http://www.finkproject.org/)
        These instructions assume that you installed the source distribution.

- Install sed, lynx and dos2unix using Fink

        %fink install sed lynx dos2unix libsablot

Note: The BSD flavor of sed provided with OS X will not work with ARB.  You need the GNU sed provided by Fink.
      There are other ways to install GNU sed, lynx and dos2unix, but using Fink is probably the easiest.

- Install the latest version of XQuartz

        Get it from (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases)
        
        Use the downloaded X11-*.*.*.dmg to install. 

- Download and install Open Motif from the IST web site

        Get it from (http://www.ist-inc.com/DOWNLOADS/motif_download.html)
        Download the version for Mac OS X 10.5 Universal (Leopard)
        Use the downloaded openmotif-compat-2.1.32_IST.macosx10.5.dmg to install

- Download and install freeglut

        Get it from (http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/)
        
        % cd freeglut-2.4.0
        % env CC=gcc\ -arch\ x86_64 LDFLAGS=-L/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/X11/lib/ CPPFLAGS=-I/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/X11/include/ ./configure --disable-warnings 
        % make
        % sudo make install
        
- Download the OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW)

        Get it from (http://glew.sourceforge.net/install.html)
        
        % cd glew
        % dos2unix Makefile
        % dos2unix config/config.guess
        % chmod a+x config/config.guess
        % env LD=-arch\ x86_64 CFLAGS.EXTRA=-arch\ x86_64 make
        % sudo env GLEW_DEST=/usr/local make install
        
- Build and install 64-bit libGLw provided by mesa

        Get it from (http://www.mesa3d.org/)
        Click on the Source Forge link and and then download MesaLib
        
        % cd Mesa-7.2
        % env CFLAGS=-arch\ x86_64 CXXFLAGS=-arch\ x86_64 CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/OpenMotif/include/ LDFLAGS=-L/usr/OpenMotif/lib ./configure --enable-motif
        % make
        % sudo make install
        % cd src/glw
        % make
        % sudo make install

- Build and install 64-bit tiff (v3.8.2)

        Get it from (http://dl.maptools.org/dl/libtiff/)
        
        % cd tiff-3.8.2
        % env CFLAGS=-arch\ x86_64 CXXFLAGS=-arch\ x86_64 ./configure
        % make
        % sudo make install

- Download the latest ARB build

        % mkdir ARB
        % cd ARB
        
        In your browser get arb from http://download.arb-home.de/release/latest/
        
        % tar xzvf arbsrc.tgz
  
        or check out from svn
  
    % svn co http://svn.mikro.biologie.tu-muenchen.de/readonly/branches/stable_5.0 ARB
  
  Create and edit config.makefile like this:
        
        % cp config.makefile.template config.makefile
  
  Change these lines in config.makefile
  
        From: ARB_64 := 0# compile 64bit ARB version (still very buggy!)
        To:   ARB_64 := 1# compile 64bit ARB version (still very buggy!)
  
        From: MACH  := LINUX# Linux g++  and gcc
        To:  #MACH  := LINUX# Linux g++  and gcc
  
        From: LINUX := 1
        To:  #LINUX := 1

        From: #MACH   := DARWIN#
        To:    MACH   := DARWIN#
  
        From: #DARWIN := 1
        To:    DARWIN := 1
  
  Prepare by setting the ARBHOME and PATH environment variables
  
        % env ARBHOME=/Users/<your_user_name>/Desktop/ARB
        % env PATH=$PATH:/Users/<your_user_name>/Desktop/ARB
  
  Build ARB
  
        % make all
        
  After the compiler is finished you will be prompted to start ARB by typing "arb".
  Give it a try now, but then quit ARB and continue the installation steps below.

- Install arb to /usr/local/arb

        % sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/arb 
        % sudo cp -R bin /usr/local/arb
        % sudo cp -R lib /usr/local/arb
        % sudo cp -R GDEHELP /usr/local/arb
        % sudo cp -R PERL_SCRIPTS /usr/local/arb
        % sudo cp -R HELP_SOURCE/oldhelp/ /usr/local/arb/lib/help
        % sudo cp demo.arb /usr/local/arb
        % sudo cp -r SH /usr/local/arb

- Fix the permissions on the pt_server directory

        % sudo chmod a+w /usr/local/arb/lib/pts

- Edit your .cshrc file

  Add these lines
  
  setenv ARBHOME /usr/local/bin
  setenv PATH $PATH:/usr/local/bin

- Update the loaded environment variables and path

        % source ~/.cshrc
        % rehash
 
- Start ARB

        % arb

end
