Alright, I've got my source, and my Makefile.

Using Mac OS 10.4.8

Now what? How do I build this damn thing... Sad

Open a terminal..

Heh yah I tried all that, doesn't seem to want to work... is there some kind of developer or build tools that need to be installed up in here?

I know on Ubuntu I had to apt-get install <something or other, i forget>

Yeah you will require the development libs (different ones depending on the application).. anywho.. As far as I know there is no automatic package manager in OSX..

You could potentially install apt if you can be bothered Razz.. not sure how well it would work on OSX though.

Does the application have a README or INSTALL file? Sounds to me as if you didn't get an installable source version as it doesn't have a make file.. Or your running the commands in the wrong directory lol.

Well, Dark Alex packages the source to popstation on each firmware release.

I want to build popstation for Mac OSX, other people did it before, but I don't feel like waiting so I went to do it myself...

And then I realized I had no idea what I was doing on Mac OSX... Razz

Ahhh! Right! You need to get a compiler and use that to compile the source.. The instructions above are for installable source packages, which this is not. I couldn't say what you require to compile the source, you need a compiler for the specific language the program is written in.
