= Compiling GiBUU on Mac OS X (Darwin) =

GiBUU on Mac is supported since version 1.2.1 (or r2736 on trunk). In addition to the usual requirements of GiBUU (like a decent [wiki:tools Fortran compiler]), there are some minor caveats specific to Mac OS X:

 * There are various Fortran compilers available for Mac OS X, e.g. ifort, gfortran and g95. All three of these have been tested on Mac OS X 10.5.6. gfortran binaries for Mac OS can be found at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries#MacOS.

 * You need the GNU version of the 'find' tool, since the Mac version has a slightly different syntax and is not compatible with our build process. The GNU findutils can be obtained e.g. via [http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=findutils MacPorts] or directly from the [http://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/ GNU] website. The GNU find binary should be called 'gfind'.

 * Static linking is not supported on OS X, cf. the official [http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1118.html statement] by Apple.
