Directions for building the NCBI toolkit with CodeWarrior on Macintosh computers NB: Unless you have some specific reason to build with CodeWarrior, we recommend instead building with GCC from the command line, per the directions in readme.unx. 1) Increase the Preferred Size of the Script Editor to 7000 K using the Finder. Script Editor is the program that runs the AppleScript make*.met files used to build the NCBI libraries and applications. 2) Take the sources of NCBI tookit at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/ncbi.tar.gz 3) Unpack them (for instance, by running tar zxf ncbi.tar.gz from the command line) 4) Drag the resulting ncbi folder inside the Metrowerks CodeWarrior 7.0 folder. The make files expect this configuration, and will not work if the ncbi folder is put anywhere else. 5) Inside the ncbi:make subfolder are two files with .met extensions. Double click on CodeWarrior IDE 4.2.5, then run makeall.met. The libraries are built in the ncbi:lib folder. You may need to restart CodeWarrior before running the make script. 6) After the libraries are built, run makedemo.met. This builds application programs such as Entrez, Sequin, and tbl2asn. 7) In order to run on MacOS versions earlier than 8.5, open the PowerPC projects, click on AppearanceLib, choose Window->Project Inspector, check Import Weak, and click the Save button. Do the same for NavigationLib.
