Re: [Swarm-Support] MacOS X Binaries Available: Heatbug fails

[Bill Northcott]

A thousand curses on libtool and general old fashioned UNIX nastiness.

Libtool has not been ported to MacOS X and it shows.  I got in a 
discussion with one of the libtool maintainers who was trying to patch it, 
but he does not have access to a machine running 10.2.x and did not seem 
to have an understandng of the way the dynamic library system on 
Darwin/MacOS X works.

You problem is not the references to the missing build directories.  These 
are only warnings.

Your link fails because you have no libdl.dylib anywhere.  I look on my 
system and discover that I have /usr/local/lib/libdl.dylib.  Don't just 
love old fashioned UNIX?  That file is not part of Apple's distributions 
because it is in /usr/local.  However, I have no idea where it can be 
from.  It is old in MacOS X terms 17 May 01, but libtool seems to need it. 
 I find it difficult to think it is used by Swarm because I can find no 
corresponding header file.

To fix your problem I attach the library.  Just drop it in /usr/local/lib 
and your build should work.

Let us know how you get on.

I have to eliminate libtool from the build system, because I think it will 
be some time before it is properly ported.
