Re: [Swarm-Support] Installation of SWARM on a Mac with Snow Leopard

[Bill Northcott]

Hi Christiano

This is additional to my other message on this topic.

If you are prepared to install MacPorts then you should be able to use their 
FSF compiler and other libraries such as Tcl-tk/BLT to build version 2.2.

However, I am not prepared to support either MacPorts or Fink.   Once these are 
installed you have a different and from my perspective uncontrollable build 
environment.  I do not have the resources to have three Macs: one running MacOS 
X, one running Fink and one running MacPorts.  So I stick to vanilla MacOS X 
and supply all additional libraries for any release.

If you can do a working port of Swarm 2.2 to MacPorts that is all good.  I will 
help as much as I can.
