OSX 64-bit

This page is about the seemingly endless port of Sage to 64 bit OSX. Here is a list of build notes for various releases:

Note that it is possible to get Sage working to some extend, but it would be nice to get this port done once and for all. The main problem is for Sage to pass all of its doctests.

Build Instructions

The fortran.spkg shipped with Sage does not work. So, unpack the sources, delete the fortan spkg and drop in

Then:

  • export SAGE64=yes
  • make

Known Problems

  • Sage 3.4.2: Builds out of the box, but needs various patches to start up and pass all but one doctest - see Sage 3.4.2 notes.

  • Sage 3.4.1:
    • FLINT.spkg fails to build due to buglet in spkg-check. A fix is at #5817
    • segfaults at startup due to libSingular problems - same issue as above. Relevant ticket: #5839. This ticket does not fix the problem, but exposes other race conditions in the dealloc code in libSingular on x86-64, i.e. sage.math
  • Sage 3.4: segfaults at startup due to libSingular problems (it is basically the same segfault that happened on exit in Sage 3.3)
