[nhc-bugs] Re: Unable to build on MacOSX

[Pablo Azero]

Hi,

Endianness of MacOS X if I recall can be computed with:

  -DHIGH_BYTE_FIRST

(it's a BIG_ENDIAN)

I had a port of an old version of nhc (1.02) to MacOS X, but I
couldn't (and currently do not have time) to continue working
on it. I have a tarball of that port, if it is useful I can
make it visible for those interested. I have a slow link so
you have to download it at night (bolivian night).

Best,

Pablo
