I am following this given README.MacOS file:

NOTE, THIS DOCUMENT IS OUTDATED.

THE PROCEDURE UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED ANYMORE,

THIS FILE IS PROVIDED IN A GOOD HOPE TO GIVE HINTS HOW TO INSTALL P4VASP ON OSX.

PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU FIND A WAY HOW TO INSTALL ON OSX.

Thanks to Dr. Daniel Knapp, here is a method to install p4vasp in MacOS:

(Tested on Mac OS 10.4.5, all updates installed.)

0) You will need X11 and all of the developer tools for OS X installed which

are included on your Tiger install discs but which are NOT installed by default.

1) Download and install FLTK (http://www.fltk.org, tested with v1.1.7):

Simply download the tar.gz file and run make; make install. This will put a

working version of FLTK in /usr on my Mac.

(To be sure, try out the test programs.)

2) Download and install the DarwinPorts (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org)

This is a unix software installation program for the Mac. (DarwinPorts seems to be a bit

more up to date than Fink, but I did need to install the following in a particular

order in order for python to recognize all of the modules.)

3) Use DarwinPorts to install gtk2 and glade libraries:

sudo port install gtk2 libglade2

4) Used DarwinPorts to install py-gtk and python:

sudo port install py-gtk2

(Note that python2.4 will be installed along with py-gtk2)

5) Copy the Makefile.MacOS to Makefile in the p4vasp root directory and in the src

directory:

cp Makefile.MacOS Makefile

cp src/Makefile.MacOS src/Makefile

6) Run make and install:

make; make install

7) Now p4v.py can then be run from any x-terminal (eg. xterm).
