flex and bison can be used from Apple (at least I have /usr/bin/flex and /usr/bin/bison in my $PATH). You also need 'md5sum' (macports has the 'md5sha1sum' package). And also GNU ar because of the 'f' option, but I want to check if it's really needed before sending a patch to check for GNU ar. > If you got the required tools you can start using ptxdist source to > build it for your host.

I would have called it 'playground'. :) I just checked that it builds with ptxdist-2012.02 without any additional patches. The only remaining patch that is in the queue of Michael is the localedef stuff. If you need it now, you can take it from https://bitbucket.org/bwalle/localedef/overview (darwin-fixes branch) or as patch from https://bitbucket.org/bwalle/ptxdist-vetero/src/770a9a83af73/patches/localedef-eglibc-2.11.90-ptx1. Please note that the ptxdist-vetero project doesn't build currently on Mac OS because of the mtd tools. I need to fix that when I have time. ('ptxdist go' works but 'ptxdist images' will fail.)
