[Gd-hackers] Open Dylan on OS X (was: Getting started)

[Dustin Voss]

Those dependencies were removed. Just do ./configure --prefix=/opt/ 
local.

The only thing I'm worried about is the Boehm GC library. Ideally,  
that could be statically linked in to the Dylan run-time, so the user  
wouldn't have to install it at all. But I haven't tried that, and I  
don't know if it would work.

Regardless, so long as OS X knows to look for the library in /opt/ 
local/lib -- not a default search location -- installing the library  
as a shared library should work.

There are other required software to build OD from source, detailed in  
the README. They would probably be needed by the user to build any  
Dylan app.
