I have been trying to install Erlang using the distribution via darwinports at erlang.darwinports.org.
But the thing does not compile due to the fact that the mach_override.(c|h) files are missing in the distribution - mach_override is required for compilation of hipe.
Would it be possible to include the mach_override files in the standard Erlang/OTP distribution?
I know that this only makes it easier to get darwinport of erlang to compile with hipe, but the benefit would be that people get a good install experience with erlang without having to resort to compiling it themselves - something that I prefer not to since I prefer to spend my time coding Erlang and not fiddling with makefiles.
Cheers,
Torben |

As far as I know, Mac OSX is not an "officially supported" platform. So any additions would be at the discretion of the OTP maintainence team. Not only, HIPE is not supported either...
No production systems I am aware of use HIPE. These times we tested, we've run into obscure bugs or strange behaviours. So leaving out the HIPE flag is probably a good idea. HIPE and the OTP team work closely together, so many of the best features from HIPE have already been integrated into the mainstream release.

| I just installed Erlang on my Mac using Fink - it built from source and seems to work (just starting to learn Erlang). |

Is this patch going to be integrated into the code base? |

I have just recently (two weeks) tried to install Erlang/OTP R12B-5 on my new Macbook Pro. From source downloaded from www.erlang.org. Everything compiled with no (obvious) problems. But, when I try to run the "erl" shell it takes about 15-20 seconds to start! After that it functions kind of OK. Something is definitely wrong here  I usually used Erlang under Ubuntu and "erl" starts instantly.
Any insights will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
