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
