Hi again Bob,

I found the following comment from a different MacOS-X user:

>> I have managed to get the Mcidas compile to complete by setting the
>> HAVE_BSDGETTIMEOFDAY flag to 0 instead of 1 in tclConfig.sh, deleting
>> libtcl8.5.a and reissuing make mcx

I responded:

> Excellent!  I assume you meant you changed HAVE_BSDGETTIMEOFDAY in

Can you try the latter approach:

<as 'mcidas'>

cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
-- edit the file 'mccomp.sh':

   - change the 'ccopts' in in the Darwin section (line 1208):

change:

        ccopts="-ansi -DFREEBSD -DREGEXEC_STRSTR -D_GNU_SOURCE -no-cpp-precomp 
-I/usr/X11R6/include"

to:
        ccopts="-ansi -DFREEBSD -DREGEXEC_STRSTR -DHAVE_BSDGETTIMEOFDAY=0 
-D_GNU_SOURCE -no-cpp-precomp -I/usr/X11R6/include"

then:

make clobber
make

Please let me know the result of this approach.


Cheers,

Tom
