Tek4010 on macOS
================

tek4010 can also be built on macOS. If you are prepared to
use the command line interface, proceed as follows. See note
at the bottom if you are using brew.

Open a terminal window and type

1. xcode -select --install

2. Install MacPorts. See https://macports.org/install.php

3. Reboot your Mac 

Type the following commands in your terminal window:

4. sudo port install gtk3-devel

5. sudo port install git

6. sudo port install cairo

7. sudo port install pkgconfig

8. Install XQuartz, see https://xquartz.org

9. git clone https://github.com/rricharz/Tek4010

10. cd Tek4010

11. make clean

12. make

13. make install

14. Add PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" to your ~/.zprofile file

15. Reboot your PC

16. Test with
        cd Tek4010
        make check

There are a few minor problems at present, see the
issues in the github repository

Note: Thanks to Clem Cole pointed out that users of brew
instead of MacPorts can replace steps 2 to 7 as follows

  4. brew install gtk3+
  5. brew install git
  6. brew install cairo
  7. brew install pkgconfig
