Build on OSX

[ScottYelich]

Build on OSX 10.13?

README.md says it runs on OSX -- and I believe it!

I'd really like to take a look at this system, but it doesn't seem to build on OSX and even poking around with trying to add libraries (via Frameworks) doesn't seem to allow the makefile to work.

I managed to do what I assumed was needed to put SDL2 and SDL2_ttf (frameworks) in /Library/Frameworks ...

The command "make -j" (same with just "make") produces errors about not being able to find SDL2.h. Unfortunately I made some changes (symlinks) that now make "make -j" produce "ld: framework not found SDL2" -- and undoing the symlinks doesn't go back to the original error.

Anyway, thanks.

I did build Mezzano on OSX, pretty much in the same way as on Linux.

I have no idea what would cause that error. Mezzano doesn't depend on SDL and it doesn't compile or link any non-Lisp code on the build system.

If you just want to play around with the system I would recommend grabbing the latest demo build from https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano/releases/tag/demo3

If you retry with the latest code and the build on OSX still fails, please comment here with as much detail as you can provide, and this issue can be reopened.
