Trying to compile RPL/2 on MacOSX

Even though OSX is based on BSD and not Linux I wonder if something similar applies where there might be an incompatibility with the latest OSX version but not with an earlier OSX version. I wish I could be more helpful.

I was wondering if you might share the name of the textbook that includes RPL snippets. As far as mainstream math/engineering textbooks, occasionally I come across one with RPN (but not RPL) code. For example, Applied Analysis By the Hilbert Space Method (Dover Publications) by Samuel S. Holland Jr. (a different Holland than the author of the HP48SX Engineering Mathematics Library) includes several HP15c code snippets but I haven't come across any books (except ones with specific HP calculator models in their title) that include RPL code.

Thanks and I hope you get a reply from someone with direct experience compiling RPL/2 on MacOSX.

Hello,

I have seen your message, but if you want to obtain help, you should send a email on official mailing list... I build RPL/2 on a debian/testing and it can be built without trouble. I don't have MacOS X workstation to test but you can try --without-x and --without-rpltools (if you have all libraries/tools in ./tools directory in your system).

Best regards,
