I also have access to OS X 10.5/PowerPC and 10.6/x86_64 systems for testing if wanted.

Fix committed. It should be available in the ROTD in a few days and will also
be included in the next 11.07.2-beta release.

Sorry, patch (forwarded by PB) seems not to resolve things. Log attached.

That's a different problem, most probably caused by the version of
autoconf on Mac OS 10.4 being too old. (I'll take a look at the configure
script to see if it can be worked around, but it may not be possible to
do anything about it.)

If you wait until there is an ROTD available containing the patch and
compile from the source distribution you won't have that problem (since
you won't need to run autoconf).

Not out of the woods yet, I'm afraid; I get this during 'sudo make install':

Can you check the setting of the variable MERCURY_CSHARP_COMPILER_TYPE
in scripts/Mercury.config and scripts/Mercury.config.bootstrap. Are
they set to "microsoft"?

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft have never ported their C# compiler to
Mac OS X or to powerpc. What is the csc executable on that system?

(A workaround for the above problem would be to set MERCURY_CSHARP_COMPILER_TYPE
to "unknown" in both cases.)
(0000463)
qu1j0t3   
2012-05-25 23:07   
Aha! There is a csc executable (the Chicken Scheme compiler). Maybe the test needs to be a little more specific? (And which Unix platforms *do* support the C# compiler?)

(I guess I can also work around this with a --disable-<foo> option to configure?)
(0000464)
juliensf   
2012-05-25 23:12   
Ok, that would be it - IIRC the current test just looks for an executable named csc.
(The only C# compiler -- that works with Mercury -- on Unix is mono, but the executable
for that is usually called gmcs.) I'll put a stronger test into configure, in the meantime you
will need to edit scripts/Mercury.config and scripts/Mercury.config.bootstrap by hand.
(I don't think there is a --disable-foo option that will help here.)

'make install' was successful, thankyou very much for the prompt help. I am trying a tools/bootcheck as suggested by Boney.

I've added a stronger test for MS C# to the configure script; it should (hopefully) now distinguish
between that and the Chicken Scheme compiler.

I don't think anything can be done about not being able to generate configure on Mac OX X 10.4,
except upgrading to a newer version of autoconf.
