OXCE dependencies error on mac
« on: April 29, 2020, 06:42:36 pm »
When I copy and paste the terminal commands to download the OXCE compiling dependencies on my mac, I get this error- Error: invalid option: --with-static-lib

No idea whether this my fault or not.
My mac is version: 10.14.6

Thanks in advance.

Edit: So it looks like homebrew doesn't like install options in the formulae anymore??

So apparently even though my mac is a newer version, the old, simpler command installs the dependencies without error. After that, when I go to compile, I get this errror-CMake Warning at docs/CMakeLists.txt:36 (message):
  Doxygen not found.  API documentation generation disabled.

That is confusing to me, since as far as I know, OXCE does not use doxygen.

doxygen is tool to generate documentation, any project that have correctly formatted comments can use it, and probably someone who crated this cmake did use it for doc generation.
As this is not critical you can ignore or disable it.

How do I disable or ignore it-

After I type in the cmake command and get that error, when I try to continue the terminal commands like in Meridians compile instructions, it says "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop."


Before that, I had followed meridian's compile instructions to the book other than the above confusion where later versions of mac actually have to use the earlier command to download dependencies.


Edit: Is this thread lost or does no one know? I REALLY want to be able to do stuff with the OXCE code :'(
