Hi Dave:

I completely forgot about the source bundle. Thanks a lot! That worked as usual.

Thanks, I forgot about those.
Would be great if they could be linked as alternatives on the mac page as well.
Especially, the source code download is very helpful.

Unfortunately, the binary versions do not work for me.
They do not find libfreetype.6.dylib, and first I ignored that, and tried to figure out why it reports that the image is not there I gave it. But well, turns out, the reported reason is wrong, and the GDB stack trace indicates a load error of the library (see at the end).

The magic to make it compile for me requires the use of the old (non-llvm) GCC 4.2. The LLVM GCC does never complete when compiling the gnu-ified interpreter c file.

For reference, this yields a nice VM for X11 and headless use:

mkdir bld
cd bld
CC=gcc-4.2 CXX=g++-4.2 ../unix/cmake/configure --without-gl \
 --without-SUGAR --without-FT2Plugin --without-VideoForLinuxPlugin \
 --without-DBusPlugin --without-Mpeg3Plugin --without-RomePlugin \
 --without-vm-display-Quartz
make -j 8
sudo make install




Thanks
Stefan
