It is going to be more than that -
Using passwd & group has to be replaced with a different call for each and every
parameter requirement as the mac call only seems to take one param at a time and
it goes to a different place but ends up in the same place i.e., /etc/passwd .
Next is that having homebrew installed is vital along with any required packages
including GCC.
Location of the install is different as /opt is a link to the real
/usr/local/Cellar and as that is on the 'boot' drive a user may well want it
some where else (in my case /Users/mbse).
My head hurts :)
Next one is the build fails due to bad target - need to have a close look at
that as yesterday I did not spot the obvious !
There is more :(
More later ....
