Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the info.

Poor Janet and in fact all of the EPICS developers who constantly need

to update the code in order to compile properly on all the various

architectures – it certain keeps everyone busy :) It is much

appreciated by all of us who rely on you!

In MacPorts I just tried installing openmotif with the "universal"

variant but one of the dependences failed to compile:

<snip>
Building Xft2

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/

local/var/macports/build/

_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync

.macports.org_release_ports_x11_Xft2/work/libXft-2.1.14" && /usr/bin/

make -j2 all " returned error 2

Command output:   "_FcUtf8ToUcs4", referenced from:
      _XftDrawStringUtf8 in xftdraw.o
      _XftTextExtentsUtf8 in xftextent.o
      _XftTextRenderUtf8 in xftrender.o
<snip>

So, unless I did something incorrect it looks like there is an impasse

for a while.

Thanks,
Bertrand

I don't recommend this if you're wanting to build and run alh or

StripTool

with the result; AIUI neither of those programs works very well (if

at all)

when built for 64-bit. Janet has fixing them on her To Do list, but

I don't

know how long it's going to take.  MEDM seems to be Ok though.

I guess that's one of the disadvantages of using the Darwin

universal 32/64

build configuration, all the code has to work properly on both

configurations.
