# Compilation Instructions for xschem on MacOS
|
||
|
|
In order to compile xschem properly on MacOS, we always need to reference the X libraries from XQuartz
|
||
|
|
and change some compilation variables. The following dependencies are required:
|
||
|
|
- XQuartz: https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.11.html
|
||
|
|
- Tcl: https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tcl8.6.10-src.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
- Tk: https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/tk8.6.10-src.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
The first step is to install XQuartz and then compile Tcl and Tk. Nothing special on compiling these two, but
|
||
|
|
we need to specify the X libraries from XQuartz when compiling Tk. Let's use the path
|
||
|
|
/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk as destination folder.
|
||
|
|
## Tcl compilation
|
||
|
|
Extract the Tcl sources and then go to the unix folder:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd <extracted-folder>/unix
|
||
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
Tk compilati on
|
||
|
|
Same procedure as Tcl, but we need to specificy the Tcl and X libraries paths. XQuartz is installed on
|
||
|
|
/opt/X11 , so we do:
|
||
|
|
cd <extracted-folder>/unix
|
||
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk --with-tcl=/usr/local/opt/tcl-
|
||
|
|
tk/lib --with-x --x-includes=/opt/X11/include --x-libraries=/opt/X11/lib
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
xschem compilati on
|
||
|
|
Besides referencing the X libraries, we need to also point to the Tcl/Tk installation path. Let's use a recent
|
||
|
|
xschem repository and install it on ~/xschem-macos (adapt this to your username):
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/StefanSchippers/xschem.git
|
||
|
|
cd xschem
|
||
|
|
./configure --prefix=/Users/$(whoami)/xschem-macos

Before running compile the application, we need to adjust Makefile.conf because the current configure
|
||
|
|
script doesn't support custom flags. So we need to replace the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables in that file
|
||
|
|
as below:
|
||
|
|
CFLAGS=-I/opt/X11/include -I/opt/X11/include/cairo -I/usr/local/opt/tcl-
|
||
|
|
tk/include -O2
|
||
|
|
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/X11/lib -L/usr/local/opt/tcl-tk/lib -lm -lcairo -lX11 -
|
||
|
|
lXrender -lxcb -lxcb-render -lX11-xcb -lXpm -ltcl8.6 -ltk8.6
|
||
|
|
Finally, we compile and install the application.
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
The application will be placed in /Users/$(whoami)/xschem-macos/bin and can be started with
|
||
|
|
./xschem in that folder.
