I made a haXe install package for OSX (and consequently an install package for Neko VM), but I still have a problem to solve before I can upload it on the website. Neko is built with dynamic linking to the Boehm gc lib and I'd like to link it statically to avoid the problem of boehmgc distribution.

I tried to search for info on Apple's website but it seems that gcc's -static option cannot be used on OS X because system libs are only available as dynamic libraries. I checked the current neko binary distribution on the site with otool -L and it seems that it also need boehmgc to be installed to work, is that correct?

If I can't make a static build, I'll have to include boehmgc in the package, which means writing a script to check for an existing install of boehmgc. I'll wait for your input before proceeding this way.

Cheers,

Alex
