[Gd-hackers] Problems with Open Dylan on OS X PPC

[Andreas Bogk]

Hackers,

just so it doesn't get lost: murpy_tcc pasted the following on #dylan.

Build procedure and error results for SVN OpenDylan on PowerPC MacOS X
======================================================================

* Create a build directory and change into that directory.

* Get opendylan-1.0beta3-ppc-darwin.tar.bz2, unpack it into <build>,
  and relocate it to have shorter paths:

    curl -O
http://www.opendylan.org/~rayiner/opendylan-1.0beta3-ppc-darwin.tar.bz2
    tar xjf opendylan-1.0beta3-ppc-darwin.tar.bz2
    mv usr/local/opendylan-1.0beta3 .
    rm -r usr

* Get a subversion snapshot of OpenDylan into <build>:

    svn co svn://anonsvn.gwydiondylan.org/scm/svn/dylan/trunk/fundev
opendylan-svn

* Change into opendylan-svn, apply the patch below and prepare the
  directory with autotools.

    pushd opendylan-svn
    patch <<EOF

    unset OPEN_DYLAN_USER_ROOT
    unset OPEN_DYLAN_USER_INSTALL

* Create a directory for the build of the full environment, change
  there and prepare for building

    mkdir opendylan-build
    pushd opendylan-build
    ../opendylan-svn/configure --enable-network --enable-testworks
--enable-dood --prefix=/usr/local/opendylan

* Perform the build with root rights as files are written to the
  target during the build. Finally install remaining build products.

    sudo make
