daysim and macosX

hello!
I'm trying to compile daysim on the macosX OS and everything goes fine....
apart the rtrace command.... that's quite important!!
Is there anyone that has an idea of how to do that?
I noticed that in the Daysim installation script are disabled all the options
to compile it on different platform (IBM, MACOSX....) and what I did was
to edit the rmake file... but unsuccessfully..... (rtrace was not compiled)
Could you help me?
thanks a lot,
pillo

Um, rtrace is part of Radiance.
Why would daysim want to compile that again? Most likely you
should already have that installed on your system before you
start compiling daysim. Just make sure that the directory
whare the Radiance binaries reside is included in your $PATH.

the reason why I have to recompile rtrace lies in a document enclosed with
the source code called:
"rtrace changes - rtace version 1.7"
this document explains about this 'custom version' of rtrace, optimized
for daylighting coefficients calculations....
so my trouble is to get this custom rtrace working......
thanks again

Since daysim uses modified internal structures to keep track of where the light is coming from.

Hi Pillo,

I know that I shouldn't have disabled these options, but what can I do now.
I went through the exercise of compiling rtrace_dc (modified rtrace) with
Genevieve Lucet last October. Apparently, she managed to compile rtrace_dc
under macox. Genevieve, could you maybe send pillo (and myself) a copy of
the binary?

Pillo, in case that does not work, we can communicate offline and try to get
this sorted out. In the meantime, I will forward you a copy of my email
communication with Genevieve. Let me know how it goes.

Christoph
