I'm an experienced Mac user and an experienced Unix administrator. So I
figured building opening source software on OS X would be a snap.
Wrong. The errors I'm getting are so soon and so hard, I figure there
must be something basic that I don't understand. Could someone please
explain to me what I don't know or point me to some resource that could?
Here's what I've done so far. I installed the Developer.mpkg package
from the Developer Tools cd. The particular open source package I
wanted to build was wget. When I ran configure, here's what I got:
andrew% cd wget-1.9.1
andrew% ./configure
configuring for GNU Wget 1.9
checking build system type... powerpc-apple-darwin6.8
checking host system type... powerpc-apple-darwin6.8
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... cc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler
cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
So I tried backing up and doing something simple. I tried compiling a
"Hello World!" c program:
andrew% cat main.c
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
printf("%s\n", "Hello World!");
}
andrew% cc main.c
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libSystem.dylib load command 9 unknown cmd field
What don't I know? Thanks!
