Dear Maxima-ers on Mac OS X,
I am new to this list. I have just downloaded the cvs and tried
the new build procedure in for59 directory on Mac OS X to see
if it works.
I have an installation of clisp-2.27, which is the lisp I used.
- "migrate" worked fine.
- bootstrap complained that aclocal and automake does not exist.
That was true even after Developer Tools from Apple are installed. Since
I have
failed to make automake-1.5, I fetched automake package in Darwin
1.2 and did the standard ./configure;make;sudo make install. Then,
bootstrap seemed to work fine. You can obtain the automake from
the following address.
http://www.opensource.apple.com//projects/darwin/1.2/source/other/automake-1.
4-1.tar.gz
- "make", then "sudo make install" worked fine.
- Finally "maxima" just worked fine for me.
Everything went well, except for the aclocal and automake on Mac OS X.
