FYI: Installation instructions updated to include Mac OS X

I just installed varnish successfully on my OSX boxen and edited the
installation instructions[1] accordingly.

it's just two additional steps:

--snip--
1. install `automake`, i.e. via [http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/
Darwin Ports]: `sudo port install automake` as the version of
`automake` that ships with OS X is too old.

2. patch the `autogen.sh` file:

{{{
10a11,15
> if [ -e /opt/local/bin/automake ] ; then
> PATH=/opt/local/bin:${PATH}
> export PATH
> fi
>
30c35
< libtoolize --copy --force
---
> glibtoolize --copy --force
}}}

''n.b. this assumes you are using the abovementioned [http://
darwinports.opendarwin.org/ Darwin Ports]. The key point is to insert
the path to your newer version of `automake` '''before''' the system
path in order to 'hide' the old version from `autogen.sh`.''

--snap--

cheers,

tom

Just curious, what happened to those missing time functions on OSX?

Hi Eirik,

I've been wanting to share a quick n'dirty patch to get it to work on OS
X with a clock_gettime hack, but as I updated to the current SVN
version, I saw this commit:

http://projects.linpro.no/pipermail/varnish-commit/2006-October/001218.html

It should answer your question. BTW, I ponder wether it's better to use
gettimeofday-style or something like:
host_get_clock_service(mach_host_self(), REALTIME_CLOCK, &myClock);
clock_get_time(myClock, &myTime);

I bet the current compat hack is better, because it doesn't involve
including mach headers.

Anyway, thanks to the ones that made it possible and thanks for this
quality software!

The correct solution is to pester Apple until they implement
clock_gettime(), which is required by POSIX.

not sure about that issue (sorry for the late response)

atm varnish doesn't actually run on my mac. i don't have the error
handy, but i guess it means, for the time being, that varnish
compiles but doesn't run on mac os x.

cheers,

tom
