[General Questions and Answers] AndreeU17:
Hi i've read the thread regarding dsixda kitchen for Android. However, i currently own a mac, and im more enthusiastic in programming using my mac since it will be my primarily computer when i begin my C++ (Have a minor knowledge of java programming) and programming class in about 3 weeks (College - majoring in computer science). Anyways im having issues installing it since i just recently transfer over from a Windows to a mac a few weeks ago.

Excuse me and forgive me if im writing this in the wrong section, please move if necessary, but please do not close it as im desperately needing your help.

Im trying to focus on creating my own rom however, while reading these instructions below

Ensure you have the GNU version of wget. To verify you have the correct version, type wget --version. If this command works without error, and it mentions "GNU" in the output, then it should be good.
If that doesn't work, you might have to build the GNU version of 'wget':
Go to the GNU site to grab the latest tar.gz of wget (I found wget-1.12 worked best).
Go to the folder containing the extracted files, and type: ./configure; make; sudo make install
NOTE for OS X 10.8+: If "./configure" gives errors, then try instead: ./configure --with-ssl=openssl
Confirm that the system defaults to the GNU version of wget, by opening a new terminal and typing "wget --version" again. Otherwise, type: sudo cp /usr/local/bin/wget /usr/bin/wget
Ensure you have the GNU version of sed, as the default Mac OS X version (FreeBSD) of sed is not compatible with the kitchen. To verify you have the correct version, type sed --version. If this command works without error, and it mentions "GNU" in the output, then it should be good.
If that doesn't work, you might have to build the GNU version of 'sed':
Go to the GNU site to grab the latest tar.gz of sed.
Go to the folder containing the extracted files, and type: ./configure; make; sudo make install
Confirm that the system defaults to the GNU version of sed, by opening a new terminal and typing "sed --version" again. Otherwise, type: sudo cp /usr/local/bin/sed /usr/bin/sed
Ensure you have the GNU version of od, as the default Mac OS X version (FreeBSD) of od is not compatible with the kitchen. To verify you have the correct version, type od --version. If this command works without error, and it mentions "GNU" in the output, then it should be good.
If that doesn't work, you might have to build the GNU version of 'od':
Go to the GNU site to grab the latest tar.gz of coreutils.
Go to the folder containing the extracted files, and type: ./configure --disable-acl; make; sudo make install
Confirm that the system defaults to the GNU version of od, by opening a new terminal and typing "od --version" again. Otherwise, type: sudo cp /usr/local/bin/od /usr/bin/od

i find it a bit difficult understanding how to install it on my mac using the guide in this thread
