Snooping the parrot

Got parrot compiled on linux and snooped around the BASIC compiler. Whew, last time I looked at assembly code was when I programmed a picoweb web server for my model railroad.

I'm a little mystified about compiling parrot on Mac OS X though. Docs say use fink, but fink seems to want only mirrors for sources. How do I get fink to see my parrot download?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but for me it was simply a matter of untarring the source, then "perl Configure.pl" , make, make test as per the README file.

The fink dependency is that it pulls some stuff from your fink installation. It should be pretty much transparent if you have fink installed.

Good luck,
Paul

Ah, I see - I got the process turned around in my head. Thanks Paul for the clarification!
