OS X support

[ioerror]

I was about to create a homebrew for xmpp-client but then I noticed that I'm unable to use xmpp-client with either the golang builds in homebrew or with the official signed golang packages.

Here is the error:

go get -v github.com/agl/xmpp-client

It works for me. How old is your Go? Termios support for Darwin was added in https://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=b0f36fc20ab2

I believe that Go 1.0.3 should have it, but I'm using HEAD.

[ioerror]

I don't appear to have that change set or if i do, I'm sure unable to use it. :)

I've found that the homebrew golang 1.0.3 doesn't seem to work, nor does the 1.0.3 release from the golang website. I'm currently hacking around with making the brew --HEAD build - strangely, while I can build go from HEAD when I do an hg clone, I can't actually build it from HEAD when I do it with brew.

It sounds to me that until I have HEAD building in brew, I won't be able to add an xmpp-client brew Formula.

The issue with the --HEAD build for anyone wondering is with runtime/cgo:

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'libgcc.a'

I'll hack around for a bit with this and perhaps even open a bug report with the brew folks about golang's --HEAD being broken only in brew...

I've opened a bug with homebrew: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#17913

Did you get HEAD building outside of homebrew? Does that work for you if so?

HEAD did build outside of homebrew. I used the same hg tree that failed
in homebrew.

Ah, but did xmpp-client work with your HEAD build, or is there still a general "terminal on OS X" bug hanging around?

I didn't install xmpp-client with the HEAD build - I didn't want to
install the HEAD build onto the system without brew; it is a pain to
manage a bunch of different packages without a package manager.

I'll try xmpp-client with the HEAD build without homebrew if we don't
find a way to brew it properly in the next day or so.

[ioerror]

Ok - it now works with the changes I've made in Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#18030 if one uses brew install -v --HEAD go - if they merge the changes, it should work with Homebrew's Go build.

Great, thanks!
