scotty ebuild

[jeffremiller]

I'm in the process of installing Gentoo for OSX in order to try this but thought I'd ask if anyone had already invented this wheel.

I want to run scotty/tkined on OSX. I've tried build from source and darwinports has eliminated their package so I checked portage. There seems to be an ebuild for app-admin/scotty but does anyone know if it will emerge on OSX?

I haven't tried to install it, but you may run into problems installing the required dependencies - specifically dev-lang/tk, which requires the same version of tcl. The problem being that OSX already comes with tcl-8.4 installed, and portage won't install over the top of preinstalled software.

If you are eager you could try to turn of collision protection and unmask the required ebuilds and see how you go.

In other words, it may require just as much effort on your part than to figure out how to compile from source by hand - but if you do get it installed through portage, then that may help other people install it in the future!

Good Luck...

OK... I've disabled collision protection and have install tcl and working on TK... I'll let you know.

Thanks

getting closer... I installed TCL and TK with little problem but this is the output of emerge scotty:

Thoughts?

hmmm... it looks like a problem with the autoconf/configure/make setup. the last release of scotty was about 3 years ago, and I only found two relevant hits on google for 'scotty osx' - and these were just questions asking if it could be done.

I had a quick peek at the autobuild scripts, and the prbly need a major working over to get it happening on OSX. How well do you know autoconf?
