System Requirements

The Xcode project supplied in this package was built using Xcode version 1.1.1 on OS X 10.3.3 (Panther).

OS X 10.3.3

Xcode v1.1.1

SDL framework for Mac OS X ( see below )


--------------------------------------------------------------------

To make it easier to port to the Mac and to save time, the SDL library which was used by the original code is still required for the Mac version and must be installed before running or compiling MacFiView. 

To RUN fiview from the command line
YOU MUST FIRST INSTALL THE MAC SDL FRAMEWORK

To download an installer for the OS X SDL framework go here ... 

http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php

or 
http://www.libsdl.org


To COMPILE  THE Xcode PROJECT 
YOU MUST INSTALL THE MAC SDL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

To download an installer for the OS X SDL SDK
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-devel-1.2.7.pkg.tar.gz


NOTE
The SDL 1.2.7.pkg installer I downloaded to develop MacFiView did not extract correctly. I used a a shareware tool ( "Pacifist" available on from VersionTracker.com ) to extract the development framework and related header files into the ~/Library/Frameworks/ directory. If your SDL installer appears to fail ( I got an empty SDL bundle in the Library! ) then you can probably rescue it by using Pacifist, Pax or other tool.

A mention for Tony Fisher

DSP Code derived from 'mkfilter' by Tony Fisher of the University of York.  Rewritten in C and given a thorough overhaul by Jim Peters (see above), so there is actually none of Tony's code here any more, but it is all still very strongly based on the algorithms and techniques that he used in 'mkfilter'.

For those who didn't hear, Tony Fisher died in February 2000 at the age of 43.  See his web-site for information and a tribute:

The original C++ sources and the rest of the mkfilter tool-set are still available from his site:
