too-many-cells not installed on MacOSX Sierra

[elusito]

I tried to install too-many-cells on MacOS X Sierra without success.

It fails building gtk 0.14 that is required.

I also followed instructions here: https://wiki.haskell.org/Gtk2Hs/Mac i.e. I tried
to use cabal install gtk -f have-quartz-gtk although for OS X Mavericks but again it failed.

It installs automatically gtk 0.15.

Any suggestion?

Thank you in advance

Can you post the error output?

[elusito]

Yes:

I don't have a Mac so FYI I won't have a way to test this (worst case scenario you can use docker which won't have these issues).

First, did you use this command in the too-many-cells folder with stack? Something like stack install --ghc-options "-fhave-quartz-gtk".

[GregorySchwartz]

Also try stack install --flag gtk:have-quartz-gtk from commercialhaskell/stack#807.

So while solved the gtk-0.14.10 build another error occurs:

[GregorySchwartz]

Do you have the GNU Scientific Library dependency? If not first install that and the rest of the dependencies in the installation section of https://gregoryschwartz.github.io/too-many-cells/. I don't know the exact names of the Mac equivalents. If it still doesn't work, let me know!

[GregorySchwartz]

Any updates or should I close this issue?

[elusito]

still not working. we stopped trying to install it

[GregorySchwartz]

That's unfortunate. I will try to get hold of a Mac to try and sort this out. In the meantime, have you tried the Docker? Mac people have had success using that instead of compiling from scratch.

[elusito]

Oh yes Docker! So, I cannot use it on our cluster because it is installed on a dedicated server and in development and we, users, don't have access. I then installed it on my Mac but since I deal with 30.000 cells I have some resources issues. Probably I can try using a subset of cells at least to verify that it works.

[GregorySchwartz]

I was able to build on macOS with no issue using the commands I put into the documentation in Installation -> macOS (https://gregoryschwartz.github.io/too-many-cells/). Please try it out and see if it solves your problem!

[GregorySchwartz]

It works on this end, so if you are still having difficulty please re-open this issue.
