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

[Dustin Voss]

I believe there is only one problem left, which is that the  
compilation process stalls out. I intend to run it through dtrace and  
gdb to look for deadlocks or something. There is a multi-stage  
bootstrap process; in the first few stages you can restart when it  
stalls out, but not the last stage, so that's where I'm stuck at right  
now.

To get to the same place, just apply the patch at http://idisk.mac.com/d_j_v-Public/Under%20Development/fundev.diff 
  and follow the README instructions.

I don't know how to do a MacPort or a package file, so that would be  
of help.
