I get the same error trying to build 6.1#125. There's no "libeclipse.dylib" but a "libeclipse.a" is built. > You don't seem to have set ECLiPSETHIRDPARTY environment variable for > your build, and this probably means that few third-party components will > be used for your build (configure should report what it was able to > find).

What the point of setting ECLIPSETHIRDPARTY (not ECLiPSETHIRDPARTY) when it doesn't work with the sensible value that's the prefix where users have stuff like GMP or GraphViz installed? Do ECLiPSe developers really expect users to reinstall third-party software in non-standard locations just to compile ECLiPSe? Specially when virtually all other Prolog compilers can be compiled and installed painlessly on POSIX systems by typing "./configure && make && make install"? Why is such a BIG PAIN IN THE ASS to compile ECLiPSe on POSIX systems? Guess what users that need a Prolog compiler but not ECLiPSe specific libraries end up doing... This is not a recent problem and it's a shame given all nice ECLiPSe performance and features. Time to fix it (including getting "./configure --prefix" working properly). Sorry for the rant but this problem have been going forever with not fix in sight. Cheers, Paulo > On 06/10/2012 12:48, David Dreisigmeyer wrote: >> Has anyone has compiled ECLiPSe on OS X 10.8?
