Re: [Swarm-Support] Leopard and libtool woes

[Keith Fligg]

Hi Bill, thanks for the follow up.

No, I still don't have it working - each time I think I'm getting  
somewhere, another problem crops up. :-/

Anyway, as to the --with-ffidir option: does it require an argument?   
Also, do I use Apple's gcc?

I tried it to use that option, without an argument using  
autoconf-2.59, automake-1.9.6 libtool-2.2.2 and gcc-4.2.2, all built  
in a separate directory.  I got this error:

In file included from FCall.m:26:
../defobj/FCall.h:32:17: error: ffi.h: No such file or directory
In file included from FCall.m:26:

I can only find ffi.h in Apple's headers, which makes sense, since it  
is Apple's.  So, I guess the real question is, if I don't use Apple's  
gcc, then how do I point the build to the libffi.  And if I do use  
Apple's compiler, what do I do about the nested functions, and what  
else might I trip over?

Thanks for all the help, I really would like to get swarm running on  
my new MacBook Pro, rather than have to use Linux, just for swarm. :)
