flex and bison can be used from Apple (at least I have /usr/bin/flex and
/usr/bin/bison in my $PATH). You also need 'md5sum' (macports has the
'md5sha1sum' package). And also GNU ar because of the 'f' option, but I
want to check if it's really needed before sending a patch to check for
GNU ar.

I'm not sure if the ncurses from Apple is sufficient, but at least
/usr/lib/libncuses.dylib is there. Apart from building kconfig, ptxdist
uses its own host-ncurses, though.

I would have called it 'playground'. :) I just checked that it builds
with ptxdist-2012.02 without any additional patches.

The only remaining patch that is in the queue of Michael is the
localedef stuff. If you need it now, you can take it from
https://bitbucket.org/bwalle/localedef/overview (darwin-fixes branch)
or as patch from
https://bitbucket.org/bwalle/ptxdist-vetero/src/770a9a83af73/patches/localedef-eglibc-2.11.90-ptx1.

Please note that the ptxdist-vetero project doesn't build currently on
Mac OS because of the mtd tools. I need to fix that when I have time.
('ptxdist go' works but 'ptxdist images' will fail.)



Regards,
Bernhard
