Re: Mac OS X build problems

I'd rather not use fink if I can avoid it.  If there's no official
package management system for OS X I'd rather not use one that's (in
my opinion) broken.  Th

I prefer to build things I need by hand.  I know that It sounds insane
and its a concept that I had to struggle with at first; however I have
control over what's installed and how it interacts with other things
on the system.  Now I love it.  If you have enough patience it beats
the shit out of using a ports tree, fink, portage and any binary
package management systems such as apt, RPM.

I'm trying to avoid having to upgrade Apple's ancient installations of
libtool, autoconf and automake; however, if CVS is the recommended
route then I suppose that I have little other choice in the matter.

I'll try and run from CVS and get back to you about my results.

Regards,
Daniel
