I want to build a unix dgt driver to try to get my DGT electronic chess board to talk to my mac. I downloaded the dgtnix-1.7.tar.gz tarball, then unpacked it in the /sw/dgtnix folder with tar. This results in a number of filesand two folders. So far, so good. There is no shell script "configure" however and I cannot run configure with the command ./configure. In the INSTALL file it says that to use the driver I should simply type 'make'. This does'n work. Terminal returns the following lines: ~:/sw/dgtnix MacRuud$ make rm -f libdgtnix.so.1.6.0 libdgtnix.so libdgtnix.so.1 libdgtnix.so.1.6 gcc -shared -Wall,-soname,libdgtnix.so.1 -o libdgtnix.so.1.6.0 dgtnix.o powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: unrecognized option '-shared' /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: _main collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libdgtnix.so.1.6.0] Error 1 my questions: 1. Am I right to think that this driver could or should work on the Unix based MacOSX system (running 10.4.8) 2. Should I use Terminal to give the "make" command, and should this be done in the /sw/dgtnix folder 3. What can or should I do to prevent these erromessages ? 4. Should I perhaps better leave installation of tarballs to professionals like you out there ? More specific info is of course available.
