= 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:

 * [[/sage-3.4.2|Sage 3.4.2 notes]]
 * [[/sage-3.3|Sage 3.3 notes]] - this is outdated
 * [[/sage-3.2.3|Sage 3.2.3 notes]] - this is outdated
 * [[/sage-3.0.2|Sage 3.0.2 notes]] - this is outdated

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

 http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/spkgs/fortran-OSX64-20090120.spkg

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|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)

== spkg status ==

The following has been moved to a subpage [[/spkgfixes|here]].
