Re: Installing Spin on Mac

looks like it is not executable, or you don't have the permission bits set right.
try:
chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/ispin
(you will probably have to prefix this with 'sudo' and will need root privilege on your machine to do it).

Re: Installing Spin on Mac

Are yacc, gcc and xcode compulsory for spin's installation?

Re: Installing Spin on Mac

on a Mac yes -- you have to compile spin from the sources, and for that you need yacc etc
on a pc, or on Linux, you can you the precompiled executables

Re: Installing Spin on Mac

Hi, I am new to Spin and I installed it recently quite easily on my MacBook. However when I execute the C program generated from pan.c I get the error "spin: error, the version of spin that generated this pan.c assumed a different wordsize (4 iso 8)". Could you help me repair this mismatch? I don't know where to start from.
Thanks,
Maria

Re: Installing Spin on Mac

It means that you compiled spin from its sources on a different machine than the one you are using it on.
Simply recompile spin itself on that same MacBook...

Re: Installing Spin on Mac

I realised I used different compilers in the makefile (cpp) and for compiling the pan.c (cc). I recompiled the sources with gcc and I don't get the error anymore.

Re: Installing Spin on Mac

nothing wrong -- those warnings are expected -- note that compilers get better about checking code all the time.  in this case the warning is innocent.  the compiler should have suppressed the warning, given the explicit flag -Wno-format-security, but not all compilers recognize this option.
your compilation created a good executable though

My first time come here,Thank you extremely substantially for the help out with this particular regard. i am not extremely substantially familier while using Terminal but just utilize it for some amount to manage the mac properly.
