SciPDL v2.088 created Apr 25th, 2024.
(ANZAC day edition!)

SciPDL is the DMG installer of 'PDL + pgplot + kitchen sink' for MacOS. DMGs are provided for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, simply double click the .dmg file and installation is Mac style, simply a matter of drag and drop in to the Applications folder. Everything in PDL is built statically so you should not need anything else - not even a compiler - except you will need an X11 server (I recommend https://www.xquartz.org/) if you want to use pgplot graphics.

See the README file for usage and contents.

This was built on macOS Monterey and seems to work at least as far as MacOS Sonoma (though not exhaustive testing on both architectures).

Releases are now signed and notarised the files with my (paid!) Apple Developer ID so you won't have to do tricks to allow PDL to run.

SciPDL v2.025 created Feb 8th, 2021.

SciPDL is the DMG installer of 'PDL + pgplot + kitchen sink' (see README for contents) for MacOS. DMGs are provided for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, simply double click the DMG and do what it says to install and set up (again see README**). There is also a third experimental Intel DMG that supports pthreads for multiprocessing.

This was built on macOS Big Sur and seems to work at least as far as MacOS Ventura.

One slight wrinkle is I originally missed including one shared library (libquadmath) from gfortran (I tried to build this "statically" to avoid people having to install Fortran for it to work) in the Intel DMGs. If you don't have this on your system you will get an error in some modules (e.g. PGPLOT) - I have provided the missing file here. You will need to do:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine libquadmath.0.dylib
sudo cp libquadmath.0.dylib /usr/local/lib

And it all should work.

** Note there is a final step to run a script to prevent MacOS GateKeeper from blocking PDL from running. This is caused by a flag set when the file is downloaded. You can also bypass this by using curl -OL URL to download the files from the command line.
