I've automated this, the relevent part being in my memetic project: http://github.com/AntonyBlakey/memetic/tree/master
. Memetic builds location independent erlang and couchdb, and has
the additional libraries so that it can run on OSX without macports
and without any additional dependencies.
Memetic is about Ruby, but that's not an impediment - it builds the
binaries by downloading the relevant tars, building with appropriate
options and then munging some paths in files to achieve location
independence.
I think the building requires no more Ruby than is present by
default in 10.5. The binaries are currently more isolated than
strictly required because I wanted to support multiple simultaneous
installs that have different version dependencies.
This BTW was automated as part of building a generic client. I have
a client who will probably pay someone to do the Win32 version.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-170 affects building,
although I think it's correctly worked-around in the Memetic build by
removing macports from the path.
