Re: [Oorexx-devel] Please help: how can i configure Open Object Rexx 5.1 in OpenSuse Leap 15.4

On Linux and Unix, your Rexx program needs to start with a line like#!/path/to/rexxWhere path/to/Rexx is the path to where the Rexx executable is installed.And the Rexx program must have its permissions set to executable, I.e. “chmod 755 myRexxProgram.rex”BruceSent by Magic!On May 12, 2023, at

I agree with P.O. regarding building documents. The most I’d expect is a build (plain text) document that would list dependencies, including minimum version, as well as their home. Personally, I’ve always built oorexx from source, but I’ve never found it necessary to build the docs. Bruce

The last time I looked at this, probably ppc/x86, it wasn’t possible because Rexx is invoked during the build. There are tools to combine single binaries into “universal” binaries, but what your are really asking is can OORexx be cross compiled for a non-native architecture. Even then there

Apple is notorious for updating packages based on their own needs, which is why I use MacPorts. The current MacPorts version of CMake is 3.19.6. Fink is 3.19.1, and Homebrew is also 3.19.6. I would be in favor of raising the required Cmake level. Sent by Magic! > On Mar 7, 2021, at 5:50 AM,

Well…. I agree with Enrico, mostly. Installation: Yes you need sudo privileges to write to /Library/LaunchDaemons. You also need sudo to write to /usr/local/… which is as far as I know, the current place to put system wide user programs. I could be wrong as I haven’t been keeping up.
