Build it yourself?

[buddha]

Howdy all,

Has anyone besides DFryer had success in building PS from source?  I think cha0s, Mathious and I are the only ones, and it hasn\'t worked.

What\'s your secret, Dfryer?  Could you give us some tips so that we can help with the next dreaded update?  Maybe an overview of what you do to get it to work.

Thanks,
b

i feel the Mission Impossible theme song coming up, followed by \"I could tell you, but I\'d have to kill you\" speech...

hehe

ps, i love the way the forum replaces profanity automatically...

Quite frankly, it\'s all about the mad skills.  I don\'t have a \"secret recipe\" that I follow, but it\'s essential to 1) get all of CS, CEL and PS built (+ all their dependencies via Fink) and then 2) use some funky mojo to get the release art (using updater or whatever) and then put it all in place, either using a $CRYSTAL environment variable to locate the CS files or by copying all the .csbundle and .csplugin files from CS, PS and CEL into psclient.app/Contents/Resources, and using a modified version of vfs.cfg.

Yeah.

Like that.

Lol

My first crack at building (about 3.6 i think) went really well, except my vfs config was screwed and I couldnt see Laanx in my servers list.

Now Im totally stuck - my crystal enviroment variable just wont stay put long enough for me to build anything from Cel onwards...

...still trooping though
