Hi Tom,

I don't own, or have access to a Mac, so cannot help directly.

The build error you reported;

....
setenv GPC_OSX_VERSION `uname -r`
uname -r
switch ( 14.5.0 )
unset echo

Unforeseen version of Mac OS X


suggests to me that the build is aborting because the version of OS X in
use is 'Unforeseen'. That does not in itself imply that it could not
work. Have you tried just hacking out this check?  Maybe force “setenv
GPC_OSX_VERSION” to be a version the script is happy with instead of
using “uname -r”.

It might be worth asking for assistance on a Mac forum. The number of
Mac users that can handle scripts, is probably much higher than the
number of GPC users that are familiar with OS X.


Regards,
Peter
