Hi all,

I'd like to get wmii running on OS X 10.3.9, and am trying to get past the first step of installing the 9base package. A while back I installed wmi on Linux, and was quite happy with it. If anyone can pass along info regarding how to install wmii on OS X, I'd be most grateful.

After downloading & unpacking 9base-1.tar.gz, "sudo make install" got the following response:

9base build options: CFLAGS = -Wall -Wno-missing-braces -Wno-parentheses -Wno-switch -Os -c -I. -DPREFIX="/usr/local/9" LDFLAGS = -static
(...bunch of lines...)
AR lib9
built lib9
CC yacc.c
LD yacc
ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt0.o
make[1]: *** [yacc] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Googling "can't locate file for: -lcrt0.o", brought up references to OS X not supporting the building of static binaries. Taking a wild guess, I tried commenting out this line in the config.mk file:
LDFLAGS     = -static

This time, "sudo make install" got this response:

9base build options:
CFLAGS = -Wall -Wno-missing-braces -Wno-parentheses -Wno-switch -Os -c -I. -DPREFIX="/usr/local/9" LDFLAGS = CC = cc
CC fmt/dofmt.c
CC fmt/fltfmt.c
(...bunch of lines...)
AR lib9
built lib9
CC yacc.c
LD yacc ld: archive: ../lib9/lib9.a has no table of contents, add one with ranlib(1) (can't load from it)
make[1]: *** [yacc] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2


I'm still a newbie, so feeling a bit lost...any suggestions or pointers much appreciated!

John
