+1 for a OSX port!

I am going to rebase my local fork and see how much work is still required to make it work.

That's great Giorgio, we will stay tuned.

Any update on OSX progress?

I got it compile and run properly in the latest master branch. Could you try it out too?

Internally Stefan one of our main GreenQloud developers got the build working on osx and I see his patches are now in the master branch. I just tried pulling the master branch and running autogen.sh but it fails on dependancies. Giorgio do I need some alternative parameter to use your OSX dep. fixer?

cheers Eiki, GreenQloud

.... checking for pkg-config... no checking for LIBXML... no configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old. Make sure it is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBXML_CFLAGS and LIBXML_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Hi Eiki, do you have brew or another OSX package manager on your machine? Droplet requires pkg-config, openssl, libxml.

I don't at the moment. I went through all that myself when I first tried to port the code and I used macports to get the required libs. I just thought Girgio's last commit would handle these external dependency issues for a smooth build process. Basically you are saying that I need to manually add those 3 libs (a good addition for a build/install requirements doc.)?

I see, I fixed the missing pkg.m4 file but you still need to have the libs installed. What I want to do is create prebuilt packages and binaries so that nobody needs to go through the compilation process to use it.

Sep 21 '11 16:09 scality

alright thanks. I'll try getting the libs and building it again then.

Built but not all the way there:

Installed Brew: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"

Install packages needed brew install pkg-config brew install libxml2 brew install openssl

./autogen.sh make sudo make install

Went on to install Droplet sh to test the install and got the error: configure: error: readline library missing

Did a: brew install readline

But still the autogen.sh for Droplet sh complains about the missing readline lib...
