Any chance for adding this to Homebrew for Mac Users? about etherate HOT 6 CLOSED

@wmclendon Thanks for the idea. I will look into it and get back to you!

@wmclendon I have looked into this.

So "yes" it is achievable in terms of adding Etherate to the Homebrew repo, however;

• I don't have a Mac nor access to one so I can't test Etherate on Mac to see if it even works
• If it doesn’t work but only needs minor changes to make it work, I can’t even address those minor issues

So for those reasons I don’t want to submit Etherate to Homebrew. Someone (anyone!) with a Mac can do this for me, I don’t mind, but I can’t honestly make that request to Homebrew without having a Mac to test on, that wouldn’t be right.

I will close this request unless you have any further input?

If someone wants to pay for 1 month of "Mac time" I'm happy to give it a go, with no promises that it will work:

I've got a copy of Yosemite now so I'll evaluate what is the "gap" to get Etherate running on OS X.

I tried compiling on macOS sierra, and got the following:

Also see (shirok/Gauche@469873c) for an example of getting libtoolize going on OS X.

I have no access to a MAC so I can't try to fix this. I only support Linux. If someone else whats to add in MAC support they can and make a pull request. Closing this issue now.
