#1658: ExternalLibraries/pciutils does not compile on Mac OS ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: development version Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Comment (by hinder):
As pointed out by Roland in #1657, there is no configure script, so gcc is used. This means the Apple gcc, which in my case is "Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)". When I modify the Makefile to use the MacPorts gcc, it then claims {{{ -n Configuring libpci for your system... x86_64--darwin 13.3.0 x86_64 darwin -n Looking for access methods... Unfortunately, your OS is not supported by the PCI Library }}} Indeed, the pciutils homepage (http://mj.ucw.cz/sw/pciutils/) does not list Mac OS as a supported platform. So it looks like the pciutils build system works as designed when using the MacPorts gcc.
Since pciutils does not support Mac OS, and since I would like the ET to build out of the box on Mac OS, what is the best way to make that happen?
