I finally broke down and decided to compile my own software. I’ve been avoiding this for a while for no particular reason. Maybe I just didn’t feel ready to cross that particular Rubicon of geekness. But the day has come, and the world will never be the same. In the process I upgraded my compiler, so my compiling process is not quite the same as what I read online. But it does work on Mac OSX 10.4, and that’s really all that matters to me. Here’s what I did…
svn checkout svn://svn.mynewsoftware.org/mynewsoftware/trunk mynewsoftware
This created a directory with a bunch of .c files, some .o files, a few .h files, etc
cd mynewsoftware/
./configure
The software documentation noted that I would need GNU Make 3.81 or higher in order to compile. The easiest way I found to do this is install via Macports.
sudo port install gmake
On my newly upgraded Mac OSX 10.4 system, I issued this command
gmake
sudo gmake install
After that I was pretty much good to go.
