Wow, that's old. 1998.

Here's what I have so far, which bogs down in the build pretty early due to 20 
year old weirdness, I guess….

  Rdist for Darwin 6.x/7.x

   Eric Myers

 Department of Physics and Astronomy
Poughkeepsie, New York 12604 USA



 6 January 2004

  This file contains the diffs required to get the handy Unix tool rdist
to build on Darwin, aka Mac OS X, including both 10.2 (Darwin 6.x, aka
"Jaguar") and 10.3 (Darwin 7.x, aka "Panther").  The diffs are against
the source code in the file rdist-6.1.5.tar as distributed from
http://www.MagniComp.com/rdist/ , which you will have to obtain separately.

  For security reasons ssh is prefered over rsh for transport, so the
default transport path is set to /usr/bin/ssh on Darwin, not rsh.

  Be warned that the code for detecting an NFS mount (i.e. -ochknfs)
probably won't work (it has not been tested).  If someone fixes this in
the future it would be nice to also be able to detect an AFS mount.

To apply the patches, begin with the source tar file from MagniComp
and this patch file in the same directory.  Unpack the tar file, cd into
the directory it creates , and then run `patch -p1` from that directory,
like so:

  %  tar xf rdist-6.1.5.tar
  %  cd rdist-6.1.5
  %  patch -p1 <../rdist-6.1.5-darwin.patch

Then build rdist as usual (see the README file for details):

  % make
  % make install
  % make install.man

The rdist and rdistd executables are installed in /usr/local/bin, while
the man pages are installed in /usr/local/share/man/man{1,8}.
You can change these destinations by editing config/mf.darwin .

Is there and "rdist" for Mac?

[Dave Horsfall]

I'm developing software for various platforms, and a need a multi-rdist 
like tool.


Why?  I develop on the Mac (because it's in front of me), ship it to my 
FreeBSD server (because it has real serial ports instead of silly 
USB/serial adaptors that may not work etc), test it there and make any 
changes, pretend it's now the master and ship it back, test it on the 
Penguin box every so often to see what they've broken this time and figure 
out a way around it[*], etc.


I have a simple shell script that does this (cycle through known hosts and 
"rsync" to all except `hostname -s` etc, but I'd like to generalise it for 
all my software, not just this one.


Running "locate rdist" on the Mac is less than helpful, so is there a tool 
similar to BSD's "rdist"?


Thanks.

Re: trying to install ATLAS

[pagani laurent via macports-users]

In fact, by using the +gcc5 as Craig suggested, I got the compiled libraries 
straight away without the building.
Perhaps it is not tuned exactly to my machine but for my purpose, it seems to 
be fast enough.

Re: trying to install ATLAS

[David Strubbe]

ATLAS just always takes a long time to build. It stands for "Automatically
Tuned Linear Algebra System," so all that time is the automatic tuning. If
you want a quicker build, use OpenBLAS or the built-in Accelerate framework.

[Joshua Kordani]

This package will take a long time to build, although don't be surprised 
if it fails on the first try.  I can never get it to work on the first 
try with default settings.

I’m not familiar with ATLAS but I think you need to choose one of the variants 
in order to build it with another compiler:

$ port variants atlas
atlas has the variants:
gcc49: build using macports-gcc-4.9
  * conflicts with gcc5 mpclang37 perf
gcc5: build using macports-gcc-5
  * conflicts with gcc49 mpclang37 perf
mpclang37: use mp-clang-3.7 and gfortran
  * conflicts with gcc49 gcc5 perf
nofortran: Forgo use of fortran compiler
universal: Build for multiple architectures

Perhaps try

sudo port install atlas +gcc5

Also, some packages can take a very long time to build.  Adding the verbose 
flag can give you more feedback as the build progresses:

sudo port -v install atlas +gcc5

I’m not familiar with ATLAS but I think you need to choose one of the variants 
in order to build it with another compiler:

$ port variants atlas
atlas has the variants:
   gcc49: build using macports-gcc-4.9
 * conflicts with gcc5 mpclang37 perf
   gcc5: build using macports-gcc-5
 * conflicts with gcc49 mpclang37 perf
   mpclang37: use mp-clang-3.7 and gfortran
 * conflicts with gcc49 gcc5 perf
   nofortran: Forgo use of fortran compiler
   universal: Build for multiple architectures

Perhaps try

sudo port install atlas +gcc5

Also, some packages can take a very long time to build.  Adding the verbose 
flag can give you more feedback as the build progresses:

sudo port -v install atlas +gcc5

trying to install ATLAS

[pagani laurent via macports-users]

Hello,

I reinstalled gcc5, both gcc5 and 7 are active but the result is the same.
I desactivate gcc7 but Xcode gcc takes precedence upon Macports/gcc5 even when 
I deactivate/reactivate the later.

Thanks for any help,
Laurent

trying to install ATLAS

[pagani laurent via macports-users]

Hello,

Running Mac OS 10.12.6, I try to install ATLAS with macports but 1) it selects 
/usr/bin/clang as a C compiler (why not the /opt/local/bin/gcc one ?), 2) it 
selects gfortran7 which does not exist and 3) it hangs up on the building. 
After more than one hour, still there :

The package mentions that it depends on gcc5 but I have gcc7 only (cleaned the 
previous versions). Can this be a problem ?
I found no ticket mentioning similar problem (but Veence requiring a gcc6 
version)

Thanks for any help,
Laurent
