Compile on macOS?

[luckman212]

I would really like to compile netcalc on macOS, but fell on my face.

configure runs fine (no errors). But make spews out the following wall of text and then fails. Any possible clue or is this a dead end?

$ make
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make  all-recursive
Making all in src
  CC       netcalc-netcalc.o

Thanks for reporting this, gave me a chance to try out netcalc on macOS! Should work better now :)

Unless you find something else I'll start the release process for a v2.1.4

[luckman212]

@troglobit Brilliant! That was it. I was able to compile and run. Thank you so much.

[troglobit]

@luckman212 Awesome! I'll roll out v2.1.4 tomorrow :)

[luckman212]

Just another thank you - I downloaded 2.1.4 today and it compiled and runs fine on macOS with nothing more than the standard ./configure && make 🍻

@luckman212 No problem mate, that's after all how it's supposed to work, glad I could help! 😃
