Cannot make on Mac OS 10.7 with Xcode 4.2

[amarshall]

Fresh checkout from current master (e98ff9a) fails to make. It's probably worth noting that GCC was removed in Xcode 4.2, so gcc is actually symlinked to llvm-gcc-4.2, and the traditional gcc-4.2 no longer exists.

Can you provide the output of running

$ make configure

It looks like the configure script is not properly created:

% ./configure && make
./configure: line 1664: AX_WITH_CURSES: command not found

Also, did you try with a release tarball? It comes with the configure script already created.

[amarshall]

% make configure 
autoreconf -v -I contrib
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal 
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing

autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --include=contrib
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader --include=contrib
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Automake
autoreconf: Leaving directory `.'

Where can the release tarballs be found now? Your website appears to currently be down.

Hi there!

I'm having the same trouble on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

config.status: config.h is unchanged

I cloned the repository and try to compile from the master branch sources.

[AdrienGiboire]

Fixed.

Edit your Makefile and add -liconv line 35 and save the file. Remove the line LDLIBS from the file conf.make.
Launch the command CC=clang make && make install.

Bye!

[AdrienGiboire]

Is there a way to permanently fix it?

[harking]

@AdrienGiboire I just had to perform the -liconv change in the Makefile.

Just commit that change and make a pull request?

[jonas]

The website is up again: http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/

However, if one of you could try the patch in the macosx branch and tell me if it fixes your problems. It should allow building tig on Mac OS X without the configure script. Don't hesitate to tweak the contrib/config-Darwin.make file.

[AdrienGiboire]

Thanks! I just tried it and it works like a charm :)

[jonas]

Thanks for testing.
