Folks,

I'm building EPICS on Mac for the first time.  I installed the XCode package, and the Command Line Tools within XCode.  When I try to build EPICs base it compiles libCom fine, but then fails when linking it:

make -C O.darwin-x86 -f ../Makefile TOP=../../.. T_A=darwin-x86 install
/usr/bin/c++ -o libCom.3.14.12.dylib -dynamiclib -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -install_name /corvette/usr/local/epics/base-3.14.12.2/lib/darwin-x86/libCom.3.14.12.dylib -compatibility_version 3.14 -current_version 3.14.12        -arch i386                  bucketLib.o epicsRingPointer.o epicsRingBytes.o postfix.o calcPerform.o cvtFast.o resourceLib.o epicsOnce.o epicsSingletonMutex.o dbmf.o ellLib.o envSubr.o envData.o errlog.o errSymLib.o errSymTbl.o fdmgr.o fdManager.o freeListLib.o gpHashLib.o iocsh.o registry.o libComRegister.o iocLog.o logClient.o macCore.o macEnv.o macUtil.o aToIPAddr.o adjustment.o cantProceed.o epicsConvert.o epicsExit.o epicsStdlib.o epicsString.o truncateFile.o ipAddrToAsciiAsynchronous.o epicsUnitTest.o epicsThread.o epicsMutex.o epicsEvent.o epicsTime.o epicsMessageQueue.o epicsMath.o epicsGeneralTime.o osiClockTime.o osdSock.o osdSockAddrReuse.o osiSock.o systemCallIntMech.o epicsSocketConvertErrnoToString.o osdAssert.o osdFindSymbol.o os!

make[3]: *** [libCom.3.14.12.dylib] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install.darwin-x86] Error 2
make[1]: *** [libCom.install] Error 2
make: *** [src.install] Error 2

So it can't find the gcc library.

I'm probably doing something stupid.  Am I supposed to use the XCode tools for development, or some other gcc based toolkit?  Is this documented somewhere?

Also, I suspect that once that is solved I will get an error because the Mac does not come with libreadline installed?

Thanks,
Mark
