standalone Install

jorne · 2008-06-14T16:58:00.000Z

This is my fires post here and maybe this is not the place to post this? but I could not find any place post installation problems or any answer on this question.

I been trying to install Potlatch without any success (Mac OS X 4.11), after a lot of trail and error I end up with this in the terminal:

Welcome to Darwin!
79:~ admin$ perl potlatch.pl --dev --trace ~ /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/potlatch/potlatch.swf

BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at potlatch.pl line 26.
79:~ admin$

I can’t find any file called SWF.pm on my system. Where should it be located and If it not exist, how do I install what I need? or maybe this is not the problem at all?

Can someone please help me because I can’t figure out what to do.

I solved this problem just a few minutes after I post it. Found the prerequisites section on top of http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Potlatch/Development_overview/Installing_and_compiling.
(why do you linux people so often put relevant information for a task in different places?)

As you understand I’m not familiar with Linux or using the terminal in Mac OS X.

Now I have download ming-0.4.0.beta5.tar but can’t figure out how to “build as normal”

./configure, make, make install

Can someone please explain how to use this “build as normal” command?

Been google this but do not get any relevant hits and my trial and error strategy is not working.

First off that long trail and error should be replaced with this:

cd ming-0.4.0.beta5
./configure

Second you will need to install Developers Tools that is available on Disc 2 of MacOSX, install X11.app as well when you are doing this. (can’t read more need to go to bed).
