#8 Does not build on OSX

[Thomas Tempelmann]

Using 10.7.4, Xcode 4.4.1.

Installed boost 1.50.0
./configure works
but make fails:

$ make
libtool --mode=compile --tag=CXX g++ -g -O2 -I. \
-c srec_cat/arglex3.cc -o srec_cat/arglex3.lo
libtool: unknown option character `-' in: --mode=compile
Usage: libtool -static [-] file [...] [-filelist listfile[,dirname]] [-arch_only arch] [-sacLT]
Usage: libtool -dynamic [-] file [...] [-filelist listfile[,dirname]] [-arch_only arch] [-o output] [-install_name name] [-compatibility_version #] [-current_version #] [-seg1addr 0x#] [-segs_read_only_addr 0x#] [-segs_read_write_addr 0x#] [-seg_addr_table <filename>] [-seg_addr_table_filename <file_system_path>] [-all_load] [-noall_load]
make: *** [srec_cat/arglex3.lo] Error 1

Can't make sense of it. Any suggestions other than to switch to Linux?

Working (with the help of a couple of Mac users) to come up with necessary changes and instructions to build Mac versions.

This looks like a libtool bug.

Being based on on of the *BSD systems, srecord should work as well as it
does for Linux. A double check for compiling on FreeBSD may be a good
exercise.
