Because I can. + + +## Installing makedepend + +`makedepend` is a Unix tool used to generate dependencies of C source files. Most modern programs do not use this anymore, but then again AutoDock Vina's source code hasn't been changed since 2011. The first hurdle came when I saw that there was no makedepend command, neither was there any package on any development repository for iOS. So, I tracked down the original source code for `makedepend` (https://github.com/DerellLicht/makedepend). According to the repository this is actually the source code for the makedepend utility that came with some XWindows distribution back around Y2K. I am pretty sure there is a problem with my current compiler configuration because I had to manually edit the `Makefile` to provide the path to the iOS SDKs using the `-isysroot` flag. + + +## Editing the Makefile + +Original Makefile ( I used the provided mac Makefile base ) + +``` +BASE=/usr/local +BOOST_VERSION=1_41 +BOOST_INCLUDE = $(BASE)/include +C_PLATFORM=-arch i386 -arch ppc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 +GPP=/usr/bin/g++ +C_OPTIONS= -O3 -DNDEBUG +BOOST_LIB_VERSION= + +include ../../makefile_common +``` + +I installed Boost 1.68.0-1 from Sam Bingner's repository.
