[XtalOpt-devel] compiling xtalopt on mac os x 10.6.8

[David Lonie]

Hi Sebastien,

Unfortunately libssh does not support OSX, and as a result, XtalOpt is
aimed at Linux/Windows users only.

However, I did find this:

http://www.fireantsecurity.co.uk/?p=131

it seems to suggest that changing line 697 in xtalopt/src/libssh/socket.c from

execve(args[0],(char * const *)args,(char * const *)environ);

to

execvp(args[0],(char * const *)args);

will enable libssh to compile on OSX. I don't have a mac to try this
on, but if it works for you I can add the change to the source code.
