Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

I have committed a few more modifications to GitHub. I am testing on OSX 10.11.6 with MacPorts 2.3.5 and XQuartz 2.7.11.
It now statically links to MacPorts' versions of libXm, libjpeg and libiconv. The remaining X11 libraries are dynamically linked to the XQuartz versions.

medm:
/opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libXmu.6.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libXext.6.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current version 11.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libXft.2.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current version 6.2.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libXp.6.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.0.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0, current version 11.2.0)
/opt/X11/lib/libpng16.16.dylib (compatibility version 43.0.0, current version 43.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1226.10.1)
/usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 120.1.0)

This should be distributable to other OSX systems that don't have MacPorts installed.

I also put a comment in the Makefile for building on Linux Mint 18. The problem was that libXp is not available for this operating system but it turns out that it will link and run if you just comment out this library.

For those that are still reliant on MEDM, Bob Soliday recently fixed a
couple of issues and we have tagged a new release 3.1.10. Note that the
code has now moved to github, and the file paths in the tarfile look
slightly different as a result.

The main problem fixed was that the "MEDM Main Window" menu item didn't
work under Gnome-3. He also replaced the Netscape-related "Help" browser
interface with Firefox; I believe it still uses the BROWSER environment
variable for configuration though.
