[Domterm-discuss] Installing on Macos possible?

[hak]

hi per,

I try to reconstruct the signifanct parts of the process and spare you all the pains I had when I got sidetracked with libjson which I’ve tried to build from sources.

git clone https://github.com/PerBothner/DomTerm
cd DomTerm
autoreconf. # error: no autoreconf
# despite having installed all the tools from xcode and the entire toolchain from llvm ‘autoreconf’ was missing

brew search autoreconf # my bad: autoreconf is part of ‘automake'
brew install automake
autoreconf # lots of errors: should be reparable with —add-missing
automake --add-missing # I think this did the job
./configure # again lots of missing packages (libjson , libwebsockets asciidoctor, ….)
brew install json-c # libjson was not buildable, so I go with this package
brew install libwebsockets
brew search asciidoctor
./configure # looking good except for openssl path. Openssl libs are a constant pain on macos
# therefore trying to repair openssl

brew unlink openssl ; and  brew link openssl —force # no effect, ./configure is still complaining
vim Makefile # Ok, I give up and manually insert openssl include/lib path in Makefile
make # error: something about missing 'mkdir tmp-for-jar’
mkdir tmp-for-jar # doing it manually
make # lots of error, giving up ….
