[Vm-dev] building a new VM from scratch on osx

[Camillo Bruni]

I am currently trying to get a decent HOWTO file ready for the VM repos.
However trying to build the VM under OS X 10.7.2 with the latest sources from git://gitorious.org/cogvm/blessed.git I fail on the following code...


cd build
export CC='/usr/bin/gcc-4.2'
cmake .
make

....

it seems like 'Cursor' is nowhere defined...

any ideas?
