CASA Software Engineering Project: Build Casa 3rd Party Packages Using MacPorts
As discussed in the
2013 CASA Developer's meeting, build all CASA 3rd party packages on OS X using
MacPorts. Distribute the results to CASA developers so that they do not have to build CASA 3rd party packages for themselves.
Status: See
CAS-5903.

Plan
- Starting from a procedure provided by Darrell in e-mail, build CASA 3rd party packages on OS X 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 by any means necessary.
- Build 3rd party packages in /opt/local on OS X after a clean OS and Xcode install.
- Copy built 3rd party packages to another OS X system with the same OS version. Do not clean the target system before use.
- Build CASA, record issues, fix issues, iterate.
- Distribute built 3rd party packages to CASA developers who can use them for testing.
- Update CASA OS X package build process to use built 3rd party packages.
- Update process to install MacPorts and built software in /opt/casa/3rdParty/N, where N is a version number for the 3rd party package build.
- This is to avoid breaking other uses of MacPorts, including NRAO Managed Software.
