building Batteries Included under OS X?

building Batteries Included under OS X?

[Alan Schmitt]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 364 bytes --]

Hello,

I'm trying to build Batteries Included and failing under OS X. The  
problem is that it's using "cp -a", which is an option that is not  
present. (I'm building with godi, but looking at the source on  
git.ocamlcore.org, I see that the "-a" is already in Makefile.in there.)

By the way, is this a good place to report these kinds of bugs?

Thanks,

Alan

There's a batteries-devel ML.

Yes, the project tracker on the ocamlcore forge (which hosts the
project). You can find it at
http://forge.ocamlcore.org/tracker/?group_id=17 , it is linked from
the batteries project homepage.

Patches would be appreciated ;-), especially because we not
necessarily know which alternative tools are available on Mac OS X to
do the equivalent of "cp -a".

Cheers.

Oops, I see that it's bugs 198 and 213 there. Sorry for not having  
looked before.

cp -R

or cp -Rp if you need to preserve permissions and other such metadata.

Another solution is rsync -a, but it may be overkill...

The FreeBSD man page for cp (available online at: http:// 
www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi? 
query=cp&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.2-RELEASE&format=html)  
says that -a is the same as -RpP. And this should indeed work for any  
POSIX compatible system (not only Mac OS X).

Thank you for the follow-up.  Fixed in git.  Please let us know any
other Linux-isms that have crept into our code.

Using this and setting LOCALPACKAGES in godi with this patch let me  
successfully build batteries. Thanks a lot!
