More build oddities

[Alan Cudmore]

What version of OS X are you using?

Is it a Power PC or Intel Mac?

What version of autoconf and automake?

$ which autoconf
$ autoconf --version
$ which automake
$ automake --version
I end up installing the autoconf and automake distributed with RTEMS  
and installing them with my cross compiler.

One thing that stands out to me is the PATH:
I may be mistaken, but will the '~' characters corrupt the path?

Make sure you use absolute paths in your build scripts:
example:  "/Users/fredrickspon/Tools" instead of "~/Tools"

------

If you have too much trouble, consider setting up a virtual machine  
with linux :)

Setting up an RTEMS development environment on OS X is more of a side  
project for me right now. I am doing my main development with linux,  
and it takes away much of the pain when you use the RPMS.
