Re: Revisiting XEphem for Mac


 

Hi!

Hi, gang.

This morning XQuartz reminded me that there's a new version (2.8.2) to which to upgrade. Alas, because versions later than 2.7.11 remove libXp, XEphem won't compile on macOS with a modern XQuartz. libXp dependence in XEphem should be removed and replaced with a modern lib for any missing functionality; otherwise, we're at risk of being left behind.

Unfortunately, it's way beyond my skill set to even analyze the code and figure out where such functionality is used.


XEphem 4.0.1 available via MacPorts for x86_64 macs:?
