Re: [Gcl-devel] build failure on MAC OS X 10.3.4

[Brent Edwards]

Hi, Ingmar...

A few questions:

1. Do you have XWindows installed on your machine?  (This is not the 
same as Aqua, the normal Mac OS X GUI.)  Most people don't.  If you 
don't, you'll get the complaints about X.  X is only important if you 
need graphics from GCL.  (It's available on your MAC OS 10.3 install 
disk, as an optional addition.)

I got my copy of 'libintl.h' from the program 'fink' (available at 
'fink.sourceforge.net'.)  It appears to be available as part of the 
'gettext' package.

(Installing 'fink' isn't required for compiling UNIX programs under MAC 
OS X, but it certainly helps you find and install many programs 
quickly.)


2. If you're on Mac OS X, then your machine is 'powerpc-macosx', not 
mac2.  (I got confused by that, too.)

Good luck!
