[GNUnet-developers] Status of Gnunet for MacOS X

[Jussi Eloranta]

Hi,

Most of the things work now with macos x. So, I think you could add it 
to the list of
supported platforms. The only problem (which is probably not platform 
dependent)
is that long recursive inserts (gnunet-insert -R) often cause gnunetd 
to core dump
or do something unpredictable (mess up the database.list file, dead 
lock). I have done inserts
without -R, file by file, and that does not trigger this problem.

Here are the details of my system that I used for compilation:

OS version: 10.3.7 with Apples latest developer tools (e.g. gcc 3.3) 
with Apple's X server.
Gnunet version: 0.6.5 + fixes I have reported and cleaned up version of 
semaphore.c (OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris use the same code).
OpenSSL 0.9.7d from Fink. libgcrypt seems to have some issues (?); 
compiles properly but did not test it too much.
Everything else from Fink.
Databases: gdbm, sqlite, mysql (all work OK). Mysql seems to be the 
best one in terms of performance and recover options.

Should I produce a binary package for Mac OS X Gnunet?
