[9fans] Building Inferno on Mac OS X

Hi, I seem to have some problems while trying to build hosted Inferno
on Mac OS X.

Anyone knows what might be the cause? Why is it looking after
/Users/aram/inferno/mkfiles/mkfile-MacOSX- instead of
/Users/aram/inferno/mkfiles/mkfile-MacOSX-386? Any hints what to do
next?

Thanks,

The mail client inserted additional newlines. A `better' build log is

With these lines you correctly set OBJTYPE to 386, then immediately
reset it to $objtype, which is empty.
Comment out the second line and you should be fine.

You are correct -- that was an error. However, it doesn't solve the
problem, I get a different error:

http://pastebin.com/QJj5BSXs

/Users/aram/inferno/MacOSX/386/include/lib9.h does not exist, btw.

With the aid of Mr. Martin Kühl and Mr. jumzi on IRC, I was able to
solve the problem.

mk nuke && mk install

did the trick.

Thanks guys!
