   It is going to be more than that -   
      
   Using passwd & group has to be replaced with a different call for each and   
   every parameter requirement as the mac call only seems to take one param at a   
   time and it goes to a different place but ends up in the same place i.e.,   
   /etc/passwd .   
      
   Next is that having homebrew installed is vital along with any required   
   packages including GCC.   
      
   Location of the install is different as /opt is a link to the real   
   /usr/local/Cellar  and as that is on the 'boot' drive a user may well want it   
   some where else (in my case /Users/mbse).   
      
   My head hurts :)   
      
   Next one is the build fails due to bad target - need to have a close look at   
   that as yesterday I did not spot the obvious !   
      
   There is more :(   
      
   More later ....
