Build Instructions for OS X

[ben-albrecht]

It would be good to include OS X instructions once we get it working.

Currently, I am having difficulty getting the tests to build on OS X. If I am unable to get it working, I'll document the errors in an issue.

@ben-albrecht , I recognize how important is this issue for the OS X users. My big problem is that I do not have any MAC near me! :( Sadly Apple products are VERY expensive here in Brazil). Maybe, @buddha314 may have more information about this.
However, I will try to guide you. You will need:
(for mysql)

1. Have brew installed.
   2)have makefile tools (I think that OS has already)
2. Install mysql.

brew install mysql

Usually, it is installed in /usr/local
If environment libs is not set, you can try:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

4. Use pkg-config --libs mysql to get mysql libs flags and add them in the example makefile.

I do not know if this can help.
Tell me more.

I haven't tried running the tests, only using the library. I'l see if I can give this a shot today.

Sorry, I neglected this.

I just ran make and got

chpl -o ./bin/query_builder_ex ./examples/query_builder_ex.chpl  -M ./src -I/usr/include/postgresql/
mv: rename /var/folders/g5/4zwyfk513hd94tjs1fm5mdq00000gn/T//chpl-buddha-80068.deleteme/query_builder_ex.tmp to ./bin/query_builder_ex: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [/var/folders/g5/4zwyfk513hd94tjs1fm5mdq00000gn/T//chpl-buddha-80068.deleteme/query_builder_ex.tmp] Error 1
error: compiling generated source
make: *** [query_builder_ex] Error 1

However, I have been able to use it as a module recently with the option -M/<cdo_home>/src

@ben-albrecht are you getting an error using CDO like

> /Users/buddha/github/cdo/src/Cdo.chpl:1571: warning: proc returns an iterator that will be immediately converted to an array
> timedexec: target program died with signal 11, without coredump

This just started for me when I did a make clobber on my version of Chapel.

[ben-albrecht]

I believe the errors I encountered were related to dependencies. That error looks unfamiliar to me.

[marcoscleison]

@ben-albrecht Unfortunately, I cannot help with this issue for now. I know that you get things done using a docker container.
Do you think that I could close this issue for now?

[ben-albrecht]

I think this issue should remain open until someone documents the process of getting it working on OS X. You can consider this in @buddha314's or my court though, since you don't have access to an OS X machine
