Compile DCMTK on Mac OS X

• Install Fink first
  • Note: There is no binary installer forMac OS X Leopard yet. You have to install from source.
• run fink install dcmtk
  • It will failed with following error:

/usr/include/bsm/audit.h:219: error: expected %<;%> before '*' token
/usr/include/bsm/audit.h:229: error: expected %<;%> before '*' token
/usr/include/sys/ucred.h:76: error: 'u_long' does not name a type
/usr/include/sys/ucred.h:95: error: 'u_int' does not name a type
/usr/include/sys/attr.h:69: error: 'u_short' does not name a type

make[1]: *** [libsrc-all] Error 2
make: *** [dcmdata-install] Error 2

• You fix the problem by:
  • vi /sw/src/fink.build/dcmtk-3.5.4-1001/dcmtk-3.5.4/config/Makefile.def
    • change corresponding lines to:

CFLAGS = -O -I/app/sw/include/libxml2 -I/app/sw/include -D_REENTRANT -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_BSD_COMPAT -D_OSF_SOURCE
CXXFLAGS = -O -I/app/sw/include/libxml2 -I/app/sw/include -D_REENTRANT -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_BSD_COMPAT -D_OSF_SOURCE

• run cd /sw/src/fink.build/dcmtk-3.5.4-1001/dcmtk-3.5.4/; make all; make install, and it should work.
