How to install the vislcg3 (Mac OSX)

Here are the instructions to install the vislcg3 constraint grammar on a Mac.

CMAKE

• Install CMake

brew install cmake

Boost

• Install Boost

brew install boost

XCode

• Install the XCode developer tools

ICU

• Install icu. This takes a few steps:

  • Download the package: http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/4.8.1/icu4c-4_8_1-src.tgz (or the latest version) and decompress it:

  $ curl -O http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/4.8.1/icu4c-4_8_1-src.tgz
  $ gunzip icu4c-4_8_1-src.tgz | tar -xvf -
  

  • Then run:

  $ cd icu/source/
  

  • It’s a good idea to make sure the permissions are set so run:

  $ chmod +x runConfigureICU configure install-sh
  

  • Now run runConfigureICU like so:

  $ ./runConfigureICU MacOSX
  

  • You’ll then run make and sudo make install, and you should be golden.

  make
  sudo make install
  

vislcg3

• Now it’s time to get to vislcg3.

  • Download the files from the svn repository:

  $ svn co http://beta.visl.sdu.dk/svn/visl/tools/vislcg3/trunk vislcg3
  

  • Then move into the main directory:

  $ cd vislcg3/
  

  • Do a checkup on the install:

  $ ./cmake.sh
  

  • Run make and sudo make install to finalize this thing.

  make
  sudo make intsall
  

  • Now check to see that it’s in your path:

  $ which vislcg3
  

  • And if you get a path to the binary, you’re ready to go!
