      Hello Vince!              Tuesday September 06 2016 10:50, Vince Coen wrote to Andrew Leary:               VC> It is going to be more than that -               VC> Using passwd & group has to be replaced with a different call for each        VC> and every parameter requirement as the mac call only seems to take one        VC> param at a time and it goes to a different place but ends up in the        VC> same place i.e., /etc/passwd .              OK. That can still be done; we just need a way to detect we are in an Intel       Mac environment.               VC> Next is that having homebrew installed is vital along with any        VC> required packages including GCC.              This requirement can be addressed in the README, or possibly by adding a check       to the configure script.               VC> Location of the install is different as /opt is a link to the real        VC> /usr/local/Cellar and as that is on the 'boot' drive a user may well        VC> want it some where else (in my case /Users/mbse).              Again, this is something we can address in the configure script.               VC> My head hurts :)               VC> Next one is the build fails due to bad target - need to have a close        VC> look at that as yesterday I did not spot the obvious !              Ok. You'll need to take the lead on diagnosing that, unless someone donates       an Intel Mac to me... ;-)               VC> There is more :(               VC> More later ....              I'll be here.              Andrew              ---        * Origin: Bits & Bytes BBS * V.Everything! * 860/503-8857 (1:320/119)    |
