[cgma-dev] [Meshkit-dev] installing Meshkit

[Paul Wilson]

Hi Steve,

I'm curious to know what you think is different about the Mac versions 
that would cause this kind of issue?  (Short of actually debugging the 
problem - more of an assessment of where the problem might be.)

I spent some time trying to build CGM (merge-cubit12 branch) against Cubit 12.2 on Mac OS 10.6, and I got nowhere: I cannot find a way to successfully link against the libcubiti19 file that's inside in the Cubit application.  (I can convince the linker to link against this file, but I cannot reference any symbols without producing undefined symbol errors.)   This prevents CGM from passing its configure step.
