I'm having trouble with the initial Configure.pl and with the pbc_to_c target on my Intel Macbook. I have rough notes below about the steps I've taken. If anyone needs more information, just ask and I'd be happy to send anything I can.
Following the instructions in chromatic's post at use.perl about building a Perl 6 binary: http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/30/0912211 I got this error on the latest version from svn: parrot $ perl Configure.pl Base class package "Parrot::Configure::Compiler" is empty. (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first.) at lib/Parrot/Configure.pm line 44 chromatic recommended that I check out r24278, which I did with a clean install (blew everything away and started over), and I tried again. Here's a summary: Checked out revision 24278. code $ cd parrot/ parrot $ perl Configure.pl Parrot Version 0.5.1 Configure 2.0 Copyright (C) 2001-2007, The Perl Foundation. ... snip ...
