Error in compilation/installation

[cantiello]

Hi,
I am trying to install Montage on my MacBookPro (OSX 13.2, Ventura).
After downloading Montage_v6.0.tar.gz, and typing "make" in the "Montage" folder, the process breaks -after about one minute of installation- with the following being the latest lines of the installation output:

gcc -g -I. -I../lib/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -std=c99 -c debugCheck.c
gcc -g -I. -I../lib/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -std=c99 -c checkHdr.c
gcc -g -I. -I../lib/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -std=c99 -c checkWCS.c
gcc -o mConvert mConvert.o debugCheck.o checkHdr.o

cp: mTblSort: No such file or directory
cp: mTileHdr: No such file or directory
cp: mTileImage: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1

Any suggestion on what could the problem be?

Michele -

I have to partly infer what is going on (since I am using Monterey, not Ventura) but here goes. This includes a suggestion you can try if you like and I'd be glad to hear if it works for you.

Compilers have gradually been getting more stringent with regards to standards. CFITSIO was using implicit function declarations that were then disallowed by the C99 standard. The copy of CFITSIO we are using dates after C99 but while most compilers still allowed implicit declarations. With newer versions of compilers that has caught up with us.

There are two solutions. One is to update to a newer version of CFITSIO. This would fix this problem, I assume, but the newer versions have folded in dependence on other libraries (like curl and zcompress) and we would need to test that change against all the platforms where people use Montage. This is the better solution but not a quick fix.

Luckily, CFITSIO already a way to address the problem, dealing with the two use patterns with an optional macro argument. Before running the top level Montage "make", edit

 lib/src/Makefile

and change

(cd cfitsio-3.25; ./configure; make; cp libcfitsio.a ../..; cp *.h ../../include)

to

(cd cfitsio-3.25; ./configure; make CFLAGS=-Dunix; cp libcfitsio.a ../..; cp *.h ../../include)

This is a temporary solution; we should either update to a newer CFITSIO and deal with the testing (and possibly configuration) consequences or add the above to our tarball (once we confirm that there are no platforms we support that need the older syntax).

Hi John, The solution you proposed worked perfectly at the first trial!
