KTechLab on OSX

[WADE MAXFIELD]

   One thing I forgot in the guide…….needs to be at the top:

0)   Need fairly close to the latest XCode installed, with the command line tools installed. 




   I would like to recommend the “*-simple.sh" scripts have the following in them in replacement of the SCRIPTDIR line to allow for multiple platforms.

   The following allows handling of configuration differences a little simpler.  This was tested on Macintosh OSX.

case "$(uname -s)" in

   Darwin)
     echo 'Mac OS X'
        readlinkf(){ perl -MCwd -e 'print Cwd::abs_path shift' "$1";}
        SCRIPTDIR=$(dirname $(readlinkf "$0"))
     ;;

   Linux)
     echo 'Linux'
        SCRIPTDIR=$(dirname $(readlink -f "$0"))
     ;;

   CYGWIN*|MINGW32*|MSYS*)
     echo 'MS Windows'
     ;;

   # Add here more strings to compare
   # 

   *)
     echo 'other OS'
     ;;
esac

I have merged the fix for build on OSX, but also added a module which has some OSX-specific code-paths, and I could not test that one.

>   7.)  build-simple.sh copies into /Applications/KDE4. (This might fail if you are not an administrator on your mac)   (it probably should copy into ~/Applications (user home directory, applications.)   Copy that app into inst-simple directory after the build.
