I encountered a few errors while building the files checked-out for nupic
git repo master branch on OSX mavericks (10.9). I did only command-line
build & test and did not use Xcode IDE.
I have listed the steps below assuming that it will help others in
repeating it:
1. Patch the following files:
A. nupic/bin/run_tests.py: because pytest-2.4.2 does not have boxed option
151c150
< args = ["--verbose"]
---
> args = ["--boxed", "--verbose"]
B. nupic/build_system/post_build/files_to_copy.txt: because copy between
same directories causes problems, so comment them out:
30c30
< # tests tests
---
> tests tests
32,33c32,33
< #bin/run_tests.py bin/run_tests.py
< #bin/run_swarm.py bin/run_swarm.py
---
> bin/run_tests.py bin/run_tests.py
> bin/run_swarm.py bin/run_swarm.py

< #conf/default/nupic-logging.conf conf/default/nupic-logging.conf
< #env.sh env.sh

< #build_system build_system

> build_system build_system
C. nupic//build_system/unix/configure.ac: Mac 10.9 does not output the full
path to the Python lib. Until 10.8 it was ok I guess. I hard-coded what is
the correct full-path as follows:
126,127c126
< #nta_platform_python_libs=`python${PYTHON_VERSION}-config
--ldflags`
<
nta_platform_python_libs="-L/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/config
-ldl -framework CoreFoundation -lpython2.7 -u _PyMac_Error
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python"
---
> nta_platform_python_libs=`python${PYTHON_VERSION}-config
--ldflags`
2. Set BUILDDIR=~/tmp/nupic and invoke ./build.sh
3. Once, build completes successfully, install the required python modules
as in nupic/external/common/requirements.txt:
4. Set env. variables before running tests:
PYTHONPATH=~/nta/eng/lib/python2.7/site-packages
NTA_CONF_DIR=./conf/default
5. ./run_tests.sh should complete all the tests successfully except for 11
tests which are SKIPPED, not sure for what reason !!
Hope this helps.
