See the list of requirements and install the required build tools and third-party libraries. OVITO should be compiled with Apple's Clang compiler that is shipped with Xcode. It's easiest to use MacPorts to install many of the required dependencies. After installing MacPorts, run
sudo port install netcdf python35 py35-sphinx py35-numpy py35-sip zlib \
boost cmake docbook-xml doxygen libxslt yasm
Download and install Qt 5.x for Mac.
Download and install PyQt5. Adjust the path to Qt's qmake below as needed:
/opt/local/bin/python3.5 configure.py \
--qmake $HOME/Qt/5.7/clang_64/bin/qmake \
--confirm-license \
--no-designer-plugin \
--no-qml-plugin \
--assume-shared \
--sip=/opt/local/bin/sip-3.5 \
--concatenate \
--enable QtCore \
--enable QtGui \
--enable QtWidgets \
--enable QtMacExtras
make -j2
sudo make install
Download and install QScintilla2. Adjust the path to qmake below as needed:
cd QScintilla_gpl-2.9.3/Qt4Qt5/
$HOME/Qt/5.7/clang_64/bin/qmake qscintilla.pro
make -j2
install_name_tool -id $PWD/libqscintilla2.dylib libqscintilla2.dylib
Download and build a static version of the Libav video encoding library:
wget https://libav.org/releases/libav-11.1.tar.gz
tar xzfv libav-11.1.tar.gz
cd libav-11.1
./configure \
--disable-network \
--disable-programs \
--disable-debug \
--disable-doc \
--disable-filters \
--enable-gpl \
--prefix=$HOME/libavstatic
make install
The compiled libraries will be installed under $HOME/libavstatic/
.
To download OVITO's source code into a new subdirectory named ovito
, run:
git clone https://gitlab.com/stuko/ovito.git ovito
Within that directory, create a build directory and let CMake generate the Makefile:
cd ovito
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DOVITO_BUILD_DOCUMENTATION=ON \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install \
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/Qt/5.7/clang_64/ \
-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/include/python3.5m \
-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/libpython3.5.dylib \
-DLIBAV_INCLUDE_DIR=$HOME/libavstatic/include \
-DLIBAV_LIBRARY_DIR=$HOME/libavstatic/lib \
-DSPHINX_PROCESSOR=/opt/local/bin/sphinx-build-3.5 \
-DQSCINTILLA_INCLUDE_DIR=$HOME/QScintilla_gpl-2.9.3/Qt4Qt5 \
-DQSCINTILLA_LIBRARY=$HOME/QScintilla_gpl-2.9.3/Qt4Qt5/libqscintilla2.dylib \
..
Adjust the paths above as needed. If this step fails, or if you want to disable individual components of OVITO, you can now run "ccmake ." to open the CMake configuration program. Finally build OVITO by running
make -j4
If this succeeds, you can run make install to create a distributable app bundle in ovito/install/
, which contains all dependencies.
