Building Command Line Apps under OSX 10.3
glib 1, gtk 1, traceroute
Building this app under Panther using the Apple supplied developer tools, fails as the configure script cannot identify the host type. This is a known issue with OSX/Darwin and is caused by out of date versions of config.sub and config.guess
The fix for this one is well known, you need to replace these files with the ones found in /usr/share/libtool, then rerun the configure script.
TIP: You will have to override the default permissions on these files in the traceroute source to allow their replacement
Once you have built the binary, manually copy it into /usr/sbin/ to insure you replace the ancient binary OSX 10.3 supplies.
tidy
Not really a Panther problem this time, just a total lack of any easy to follow instructions. So after you have uncompressed the source tarball, change into the tidy directory and run the following commands to build and install tidy.
sh build/gnuauto/setup.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
NOTE: for help configuring this tool, have a look at the Sourceforge project page
libfaad
Building this MPEG4 Audio library requires you to run bootstrap from the root of the source distribution. This is all well and good expect it fails when it cannot find libtoolize.
This is a easy fix, all you need to do is create the following link.
ln -s /usr/bin/glibtoolize /usr/bin/libtoolize
Now rerun bootstrap and all is well with the world.
