NCBI C Toolkit Cross Reference

   
   Directions for building the NCBI toolkit with CodeWarrior on Macintosh computers
   
   NB: Unless you have some specific reason to build with CodeWarrior, we
   recommend instead building with GCC from the command line, per the
   directions in readme.unx.
   
   1)  Increase the Preferred Size of the Script Editor to 7000 K using the
       Finder.  Script Editor is the program that runs the AppleScript make*.met
      files used to build the NCBI libraries and applications.
  2)  Take the sources of NCBI tookit at
        ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/ncbi.tar.gz
  3)  Unpack them (for instance, by running
        tar zxf ncbi.tar.gz
      from the command line)
  4)  Drag the resulting ncbi folder inside the Metrowerks CodeWarrior 7.0
      folder.  The make files expect this configuration, and will not work if
      the ncbi folder is put anywhere else.
  5)  Inside the ncbi:make subfolder are two files with .met extensions.
      Double click on CodeWarrior IDE 4.2.5, then run makeall.met.  The libraries
      are built in the ncbi:lib folder.
      You may need to restart CodeWarrior before running the make script.
  6)  After the libraries are built, run makedemo.met.  This builds application
      programs such as Entrez, Sequin, and tbl2asn.
  7)  In order to run on MacOS versions earlier than 8.5, open the PowerPC
      projects, click on AppearanceLib, choose Window->Project Inspector, check
      Import Weak, and click the Save button.  Do the same for NavigationLib.
