[Freeciv] Re: Help With Installation Please

[William Mulvihill <will.mulvihill@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First let me say you are a brave man to be trying this under osx.  :)

I'm on osx now as well, I've gotten Xwindows running so I might be able 
to give you some pointers in the right direction (although it hadn't yet 
occurred to me to try to compile freeciv on it).  First, have you gotten 
the recent 10.0.1 update?  That might help.  Second, do you have 
development libraries for Xwindows installed?  If you installed Xwindows 
from binary you may not have them.  Do you have a window manager and/or 
GTK+ installed?
This may turn into an error in the compiler or something "deep" like 
that, so check out the darwin development lists and sites.  See if any 
other *NIX programs have had this trouble compiling.
Let me know what find out so that when I get around to installing 
freeciv, I can follow your guidance!
