Hey there I hope you are all well!
First things first, kudos on the debugger!=20
I=E2=80=99ve used it on my bachelor's degree (using a unix VM, kubunto =
if I=E2=80=99m not mistaken), all worked well.

Now I am in my Masters degree and need the same tool, but I=E2=80=99m =
locked in macOS, from what I=E2=80=99ve seen it=E2=80=99s possible to =
install it.
I already downloaded the sources from the ftp links, but I=E2=80=99m =
confused in some areas..

I=E2=80=99m following your guide, and trying to adapt it to my use case:
	host> ls
	src/
	host> mkdir insight-ppc; cd insight-pcc
	host> ../src/configure --target=3Dpowerpc-eabi =
--prefix=3D/opt/insight-ppc
	host> make
	host> make install

After extracting the zipped package (insight-6.8a.tar.bz2), I suppose =
the =E2=80=99src=E2=80=99 folder you mention is the unarchived result =
(let=E2=80=99s call it sources).
Having these sources I am now trying to find the =E2=80=98configure=E2=80=99=
 folder, but there=E2=80=99s only a script with that name.

After hitting the wall I started looking at the ReadMe files, and =
there=E2=80=99s tons of it because apparently this aren=E2=80=99t the =
sources for insight, but for many GNU compilers and indexers.
That=E2=80=99s why I need your help.

In a perfect world a nice .dmg and a couple of clicks would solve the =
problem of a macOS installation, I suppose such option is not available, =
right?
Starting from that assumption I would like your help in installing =
Insight for macOS.

Do I need anything more, beside the sources folder? If so please tell me =
what.
Once more, assuming everything I need is within the sources folder, =
please tell me the scripts I need to run.

//////

My use case for Insight is not commercial, purely educational and it=E2=80=
=99s really just this semestre.

I would really love the help, until then stay safe and keep up the good =
work!

Thanks!
Miguel
