The major bug in Makefiles generated for Mac by the MakeMaker utility called from MakeFile.PL, are that dependencies are specified incorrectly with ':' instead of the character 'Ÿ' (option-f) which is the correct syntax for MPW Make. I wonder wether it's possible to fix this problem by editing the file MM_MacOS.pm. Also, I wonder where I can find documentation of using standard streams from extensions in C and C++ > > Of course, most of us now use Mac OS X, where building is much simpler. :-) > Probably is, at least if you've really got a MacOS X capable computer. I don't.
