Re: [Planner] Re: [Planner Dev] Success! -> Planner on Darwin/FreeBSD/OSX

Hi Fred,

I'm happy to help.  I'm about to recompile my Planner using the latest 
cvs and see how it goes.  I'll post anything that might be helpful.  
Initially it looks like you may need to copy the .m4 files mentioned to 
/usr/local/share/aclocal.

like
cp /sw/share/aclocal/codeset.m4 /usr/local/share/aclocal

then configure & make

I'll go over my procedures again and make sure I included everything I 
did.

Cheers,
Patrick
