Re: [Chicken-users] Installing on Mac OS 10.7.3

[James Abbott]

Hi all,-

thanks for the replies. I have Xcode 4.1. So the "make PLATFORM=macosx C_COMPILER=gcc-4.2" command should work. However I get this message:

> make -f ./Makefile.macosx CONFIG= all
> gcc-4.2  -c apply-hack.x86.S -o apply-hack.x86.o
> apply-hack.x86.S:35:suffix or operands invalid for `call'
> make[1]: *** [apply-hack.x86.o] Error 1
> make: *** [all] Error 2

Here's what gcc -v returned:

Seems like I'll need to build from git anyway!

Cheers,

Check out the latest code, apply the ticket patches, make a boot chicken, then build chicken with the chicken-boot binary. Normal procedure in other words when building from git.

Oops.  I meant it works until XCode 4.2, and if you upgraded to XCode 4.2 already (which you probably have) then you have to follow the other alternate instructions.  Even I am confused.

So, in case one has upgraded to XCode 4.3 already and doesn't have a chicken binary anymore...
