Re: [DotGNU]Mac OSX

I haven't checked the list in a day or two, so I'm a little late in 
responding, but you guys certainly helped me put together this little 
step-by-step howto. So Gopal, one the "experts" has arrived ;)

Basic steps to getting Portable.NET installed on a mac:

Install the Development Tools from the dev CD that should be with your 
pack of Mac CDs. If you don't have the CD, get an account at 
connect.apple.com and download from the net. The download is well over 
100 megabytes.

Next, install Fink (fink.sourceforge.net). Using the GUI program Fink 
Commander, install the package called libtool. Alternatively, this can 
be done from a terminal by typing: apt-get install libtool

download the latest pnet sources from CVS by pasting the following in 
the terminal and pressing enter for the password:

cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/dotgnu-pnet login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/dotgnu-pnet co .

Thanks to Gopal, we won't have to mess with the PATH variable. All we 
have to do to get a good working glibtool after it is installed with 
fink is to do the following in the terminal:

export LIBTOOL=glibtool

now, as in andrew's instructions, cd to each directory: treecc, pnet, 
pnetlib, respectively, and paste in the following command for each one:

./auto_gen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install

Type in your usual password for the account on your computer when it 
asks for it (towards the end).

If all goes well, you are probably done. Go ahead and run the tests as 
Andrew suggested. Their are sample files in pnetlib/samples for you to 
play with.

compile .cs files with cscc filename.cs  and run them with ilrun 
executablename.exe
