[jazzplusplus-devel] Query about Mac OSX builds

[D.B. M. <db...@ho...>]

Greetings,

                  I'm just wandering through the (website) documentation
fixing things, and my lack of experience with Mac OSX has just forced
me here.

In the 'buildingjazz++' documentation, a section describing the linux
build goes like this ;

The prefix option is used so that the make install step            
found later in these instructions, will not require root privileges.  It is          
also useful to run make install with this prefix option, so that the        
resulting install will create a copy of the jazz.cfg file that is           
independent of the one distributed in the source tree.  The configuration file       
is modified by the Jazz++ binary.  If the version of the jazz.cfg file      
in your svn working directory was altered, this could lead to update conflicts       
when updating the code using Subversion.  This may lead to problems using            
Jazz++ as a result.


The equivalent section in the Mac OSX instructions reads;


The prefix option is used so that the resulting install will not use        
the jazz.cfg file from the svn repository.  The configuration file is       
modified by the Jazz++ binary.  If the version in your svn working directory         
was altered, this could lead to update conflicts when updating the code.  This       
may lead to problems using Jazz++.


Obviously they are quite different. My question is, are the Mac OSX 
instructions here actually correct, or should they be more akin to the
linux instructions instead?


I'll hold-off diff'ing the next patch until some kind knowledgabe soul
clarifies this for me.


Regards,

Donald B
