Re: [foo-devel] fooing

[Martin R. <fo...@ru...>]

Dear fooers,

foo should compile on mac os x 10.6 now.  There are some pitfalls though:

for "bootstrapping" the package (compiling from CVS) you would need the
autotools from macports, the ones shipped with the Mac developer tools
do not work for some reasons.

$ sudo port -v install automake autoconf libtool

Gerhard reported some problems with compiling the readline support for
fooelk, which I could not reproduce nor track down.  The short solution
is not to use libreadline but libedit (just omit the
--enable-gnu-readline flag at configure time).  You will loose history
support and filename completion within strings, which is survivable.

You may also checkout the README files in fooelk and foo which I updated
to the recent changes.

So far, cheers,

Martin
