Re: [ES40-developers] OSX command-line port without X-Code

[Martin B. <mar...@oo...>]

Timothy,

I tried the whole thing myself and I ran into a few problems, but the
following should work:

Get Apple X11 and install it.
Get Xcode 3.x and install it in the default location (/Developer), I'm
not sure but check for a X11 development option en select it.

Get the source code
$ cvs -d:pserver:ano...@es...:/cvsroot/es40 login
<cr>  
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@es...:/cvsroot/es40
checkout -P es40

Add /Developer/usr/bin to your path.

Go to the es40 directory and do the following:

$ cp config/config.* .
$ chmod +x *.sh configure config.sub config.guess
$ ./configure --disable-sdl --disable-sdltest --with-x CXX=llvm-g++-4.2
CC=llvm-gcc-4.2 CPP=llvm-cpp-4.2
$ make clean
$ make

I don't think poco is still a requirement.
You may need to get libpcap although Leopard appears to have a version
of this library already.
I chose the llvm version of gcc 4.2 but you can also use the generic gcc
4.2 by removing the text 'llvm-' from the configure line.
X11 needs to be running for the gui stuff to work.
You can run es40 without a gui, configure a serial console and connect
to it's port using Terminal.

I hope this helps to get you started.
