Okay, there's two things that I want to compile and use.
Visualboy Advance (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63889) (Simply because the 'offical OSX port') seems to have removed all of the devtools (Disassembler, Memory Viewer, etc.) which means that for my hobbyist ROMhacking I have to reboot into windows. Which I don't really like doing if I don't have to.
I'd also like to compile Chemtool (http://ruby.chemie.uni-freiburg.de/~martin/chemtool/), a utility for drawing chemistry structures. Again, it gives me a reason to avoid using windows.
Now, for Visualboy, the install tells me to have these dependencies. However I don't really know how to install dependencies so they can be used...or if they're even installed or not.
- libpng: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html
- zlib: http://www.gzip.org/zlib/
- libSDL: http://www.libsdl.org
- nasm (optional for x86 MMX support): http://nasm.sourceforge.net/
And also before I configure/make it to do this:
aclocal
autoconf
automake -a -c
aclocal fails, telling me
aclocal: configure.in: 139: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library, despite the fact that I already installed gettext via ./configure, make and then sudo make install.
Automake then complains that the aclocal.m4 is created for Automake 1.7.9 and I only have 1.6.3
Now, as for Chemtool, the compile just fails with ten squillion error messages, which I'm assuming is because I don't have the dependencies installed, which brings me back to my first point with VBA...
Any and all help is much appreciated. This open source community thing frightens me. <_<;
I'm running 10.4.8, and my computer is as in my sig. I installed the latest version of the Apple Developer tools yesterday. I managed to get nethack (<_<; ) to compile, so it must be working okay at some level.
