My Mac Pro is a 2006 model with 2Ghz Xeons … My laptop is something more modernish …

Homebrew builds everything. It is a great alternative to macports. In my opinion, it’s currently the best package manager for apps that are built from source (most oss stuff is available via homebrew). If you’re tinkering with such programms, I strongly suggest, that you give homebrew a try. Homebrew also makes it easy to roll your own formula (their name for what the set of instructions on how to build your favourite program.) including your patches. I wasn’t able to test much since the upgrade to 10.8, but at least it builds qemu and simh. I you’re using

not sure, I don’t have 10.7 … I tried the 10.6 SDK on 10.8 and that… didn’t compile any coca stuff.. but 10.8 runs 10.6 binaries and that feels much ‘cleaner’ to use as a build….

CLANG can’t properly build the style that Qemu uses, and LLVM produces faulty code… I guess I could try to build a vanilla GCC on 10.8 …. and hope for the best…

But that feels about as hokey as my DJGPP cross compiling on OS X ..

Sure… But from what I can tell you have to build it with Snow Leopard 10.6.X ..

A 10.6 SDK might work. (I guess you tried that?)

Does the native build on Snow Lepoard work on Mountain Lion?

Too many questions…

does that download a binary, or let you build it…? I’d want to fix the ne2000 & ad in adlib sound… After looking it looks like its still full of issues.. CLANG won’t do external inline optimizations, and new gcc llvm builds a qemu that doesn’t work right. I would *assume* that its using the static interpreted version as a stopgap..
