+
+Building Axiom on Mac OS X
+
+ I have built axiom on Mac OS X 10.4.8 PowerPC. Here are the steps I followed.
+
+1 Install X Code Tools from the Apple instalation DVD.
+
+2 you need latex, makeindex, and maybe tex for the axiom build to succeed, so
I install them from fink,
+and link them to /usr/local/bin.
+
+3 Some of the fink tools cause gcl to build incorrectly, I delete references
to /sw/bin and /sw/sbin from my path::
+
+ $ PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin
+
+4 Get the build-improvements branch from SVN. svn on the Mac had issues with
some of the filenames in axiom, I was able to use svk to get the sources.
Information on getting the build-improvements branch is available on
AxiomSources.
+
+5 Check to see if your sources use openpty in src/lib/openpty.c.pamphlet, if
not you need a patch like:
+
+ http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2006-11/msg00903.html
+
+6 Do the gnu 3 step waltz::
+
+ $ ./configure
+ $ make
+ $ export AXIOM=`pwd`/target/powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
+ $ PATH=\$AXIOM/bin:\$PATH
+ $ axiom
+
+gcl doesn't (yet) build on Mac OS X on Intel chips.
