Hello All, This page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Install_Mac_OS_10.6.4_Dependencies#Step_2:_There_is_no_step_2 says that there is no step 2. I disagree. In order to configure, I had to: Download Compress::Raw::Zlib from here: http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.045/lib/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm unzip it in a build tree, and inside it: perl Makefile.PL make (as root) make install Download Archive::Zip.pm from here: http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/Archive-Zip-1.30/lib/Archive/Zip.pm and do likewise. Regards, James.
No, this definitely is not needed. When you get XCode as described, you are ready to build on Mac (with --disable-mozilla) only when on 10.4 you need newer version of make an unzip (as described on the page). I suspect you got macports/fink/darwinports or whatever installed that mess up your build-environment. on 10.4 system: $ locate Zip.pm /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6/Archive/Zip.pm $ locate Zlib.pm/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6/IO/Zlib.pm/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Compress/Zlib.pm Also LO is being build on 10.5 and later systems without non-Apple-provided stuff (except for building mozilla, as also described on the dependencies page). Thus worksforme. Feel free to reopen if you can provide more details, but probably its faster/easier to join irc-channels or use the mailing-list to get you setup with a "proper" buildsystem.
Hi Christian, I've had macports, so let's assume I'm exercising a macports symptom. For the benefit of future people with similar symptoms: I am using MacOS 10.6.8. My default perl is 5.8.9, contrary to the manual page, and I haven't worked out why yet. locate finds the system-installed Zlib and Zip: $ locate Zlib.pm /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/IO/Zlib.pm /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Compress/Zlib.pm /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.9/IO/Zlib.pm /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.9/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Compress/Zlib.pm James-MacBook:perl5 jamescone$ locate Zip.pm /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/IO/Compress/Zip.pm /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/Archive/Zip.pm /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.9/Archive/Zip.pm $ I have no idea why LO does not find the Zip and Zlib in Extras. The software that I described installing, was installed into /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/ and was found by LO. I plan to tiptoe away and continue using it. No further action. Regards, James.
