Building on Mac with Snow Leopard

Hi list, I downloaded 1.40.0 and started to build on my mac, but "./bootstrap.sh --help" gave me back "command not found" in Terminal. It turned out that the permissions for bootstrap.sh were wrong (executable bit not set), so I had to "chmod 755 bootstrap.sh" first. Just a heads-up if anyone else runs into this. Cheers!

Updated workaround: The permissions for all the .sh files were incorrect, so I had to "find . -name '*.sh' -exec chmod 766 {} \;" before it would build successfully

Which package did you download? tar.* are for Unix, others are for Windows and generally expected to have busted permissions. - Volodya
