Talk:HowTo compile on Mac

wxWidgets from MacPorts is unusable since it misses some needed files... ;-) --Mirko Grewing

Ah, good call, Mirko.grewing. Much more generic and versatile ;) --PacoBell 13:29, 28 April 2009 (CEST)

Is there any reason we're not using wxWidgets from MacPorts instead of wxMac? Which is more stable/feature complete? --PacoBell 00:05, 20 April 2009 (CEST)

I need to install newer versions of flex and automake to compile amule successfully on my machine. Maybe we should just add those as dependencies that should be installed through Fink. -- lionel77

i have this: port installed The following ports are currently installed:

 autoconf @2.61_1 (active)
 automake @1.10.1_0 (active)
 expat @2.0.1_0 (active)
 flex @2.5.34_0 (active)
 gettext @0.17_3 (active)
 help2man @1.36.4_1 (active)
 libiconv @1.12_0 (active)
 libpng @1.2.24_0 (active)
 libtool @1.5.24_1 (active)
 m4 @1.4.10_1 (active)
 ncurses @5.6_0 (active)
 ncursesw @5.6_1 (active)
 p5-locale-gettext @1.05_0 (active)
 perl5.8 @5.8.8_1 (active)
 zlib @1.2.3_1 (active)

when i tried to "./configure" amule, i got this
