Hello - I am trying to install FreeImage on OSX 10.5 and am having trouble. I have tried both via mac ports as well as source install and can’t get it to work. Also, I have installed dev sdk tools from the Leopard disc, and see them in my HD 10.4u and 10.5. I have checked out several posts and have tried several fixes but to no avail. I am at my wits end and wondering if anyone can notice what I may be doing wrong. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Angel Here are some clippets - Port attempt: s-macbook:FreeImage --$ sudo port install freeimage Password: —\> Building freeimage with target all Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd “/opt/ local/var/macports/build/ \_opt\_local\_var\_macports\_sources\_rsync.macports.org\_release\_ports\_graphics\_freeimage/ work/FreeImage” && make all " returned error 2 Command output: Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:896: error: expected `;' before 'TAGMAP' Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:904: error: 'strcmp' was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:908: error: 'FreeImage_GetTagCount' was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:908: error: 'WORD' was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:908: error: 'FreeImage_TagDataWidth' cannot be used as a function Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:908: error: 'FreeImage_GetTagLength' was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:922: error: 'WORD' was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:941: error: 'TAGMAP' is not a class or namespace Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:941: error: 'iterator' was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:941: error: expected`;’ before ‘i’ Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:942: error: ‘i’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:952: error: ‘TAGMAP’ is not a class or namespace Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:952: error: ‘iterator’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:952: error: expected `;’ before ‘i’ Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:952: error: ‘i’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:957: error: type ‘’ argument given to ‘delete’, expected pointer Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp: In function ‘BOOL FreeImage\_GetMetadata(FREE\_IMAGE\_MDMODEL, FIBITMAP\*, const char\*, FITAG\*\*)’: Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:970: error: ‘TAGMAP’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:970: error: ‘tagmap’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:974: error: ‘METADATAMAP’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:974: error: ‘metadata’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:974: error: ‘struct FREEIMAGEHEADER’ has no member named ‘metadata’ Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp: In function ‘unsigned int FreeImage\_GetMetadataCount(FREE\_IMAGE\_MDMODEL, FIBITMAP\*)’: Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:995: error: ‘TAGMAP’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:995: error: ‘tagmap’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:998: error: ‘METADATAMAP’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:998: error: ‘metadata’ was not declared in this scope Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.cpp:998: error: ‘struct FREEIMAGEHEADER’ has no member named ‘metadata’ make[1]: \*\*\* [Source/FreeImage/BitmapAccess.o-ppc] Error 1 make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. s-macbook:FreeImage --$ Source attempt: s-macbook:FreeImage --$ make make -f Makefile.osx g+±4.0 -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Os -fexceptions -fvisibility=hidden -

It’s an easy fix. The FreeImage make.osx file refers to older Mac sdks. Open up that file and make sure the following lines are exactly as I have them listed: INCLUDE\_PPC = -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk INCLUDE\_I386 = -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk … LIBRARIES\_PPC = -Wl,-syslibroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk LIBRARIES\_I386 = -Wl,-syslibroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk then do a make followed by a sudo make intall and all should work fine. -Art ---

Wow, Art that worked. Been trying to figure that out for the last 4 hours! Thank you!! ---

How would someone know where these libraries are and how to reference them. I was clever enough to notice that the library referenced didn’t match the one I had installed, but I have no idea how you knew to change “INCLUDE\_PPC” to “LIBRARIES\_PPC”, etc. Also, I have not SDKs directory in /Developer. How do you know to refer to it this way? By the way, this did work on my G5 PPC with OX 10.3.9 - thanks for the help! FlyBoyArt wrote: > It’s an easy fix.

Correction. I meant it worked on OS X 10.4.11 (PPC G5) Bill Abel wrote: > How would someone know where these libraries are and how to reference > them.
