I commited the final bits to make Midas build on Darwin aka macosx.
Here is the summary:

30 Mar 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , elog fixes 
|
I am about to commit the mhttpd Elog fixes we have been using in TWIST since
about October. The infamous Elog "last N days" problem is fixed, sundry
memory overruns are caught and assert()ed.
|
|
28 Apr 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , mhttpd "start run" input field length?
|
I am setting up a new experiment and I added a "comment" field to "/
Experiment/Edit on start". When I start the run, I see this field, but I
cannot enter anything: the HTML "maxlength" is zero (or 1?). I traced this
|
|
07 May 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , min(a,b) in mana.c and mlogger.c
|
When I compile current cvs-head midas, I get errors about undefined function
min(). I do not think min() is in the list of standard C functions, so
something else should be used instead, like a MIN(a,b) macro. To make life

06 Jun 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , Makefile: set -rpath
|
I commited Makefile bits to set the RPATH on dynamically linked executables
to find libmidas.so and ROOT shared libraries without setting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH , etc. K.O. |
 22 Jun 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , How to compile under Darwin-gcc? (MacOS X)
|
The current (cvs) version of MIDAS should build on Mac OS X right out of the
box- I fixed all the problems you report back in February(?)- see the macosx
thread in this forum. A few weeks ago I verified that it still compiles on Mac

28 Jun 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , Linking Error: g++ -rpath?
|
> ld: unknown flag: -rpath
> gmake: *** [darwin/bin/mlogger] Error 1

29 Jun 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , FAQ: anonymous cvs access?

14 Jul 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , install problem of Makefile on MacOS X (Darwin 7.4.0, gcc 3.3)
|
> There are not such a file "io.h" inside my MacOS X. In fact, I didn't find any file containing function iopl().
> So what is the equivalent function of iopl() under MacOS X? The utility dio should be modified in order to be compiled under Darwin-

15 Jul 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , future direction discussion?
|

I disapprove of version number inflation. Why not go straight for midas version

20 Jul 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , HOWTO setup MIDAS ROOT tree analysis

Updating the instructions to ROOT version 3.10.2. Example is from TRIUMF-KOPIO
tree analysis.

31 Aug 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , midas odb locking
|
One of our experiments is suffering from periodic ODB corruption and I
suspected that there might be a problem with ODB locking. In the last few
days, I finally had time to read the ODB locking code, to write a little

|
31 Aug 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , mlogger crash if using mserver.
|
Our users keep making a simple mistake- they set MIDAS_SERVER_HOST in their
environement. Most midas programs do not mind this- they go through the
mserver, inefficient but benign- except for the mlogger, which dumps core

21 Sep 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, , ODB-EPICS gateway
|
At TRIUMF, we use several different versions of code to interface MIDAS and
EPICS (http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics). Now that we more or less understand
our needs, I propose this design for a simplified "EPICS" MIDAS frontend. I

03 Oct 2004, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, Increased number of clients in midas.h, important!
