if you say so... maybe right w.r.t. dependencies on libs. otherwise: I tried it again with yesterday's version and I should have known better: trying to compile ion3 "manually" under MacOSX is a nightmare for anybody not up to his waist in the internals of gcc and differences introduced by apple. is there *anbody* out there able to compile it under macos??? I gave up (again...). problems (to the extent that they have surfaced) are related to several gcc/ld flags not available under MacOS: -shared -whole-archive -export-dynamic and librt: is that supposedly a standard lib? it's not there. tuomo, man, get a hold of yourself (or, rather, the licence text), so that it is again sufficient that _one_ guy solves it _once_ and puts in back in the repository. it can't be that much fun to see users suffer. or can it? I, at least, am fed up with trying. that's no longer a manageble average- user task. and, of course, if in the end it were possible to find makefiles and/or system.mk versions on your side, it'll help. but I'm at least obviously not in a position to contribute these for MacOSX. (and it only seems an unnecessary complication in comparison to having it in the repositories. but I suspect your attitude is uncorrectable.) joerg
