Description Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-03-08 13:35:34 UTC 
I'm reliably informed that Pseudo should now be usable on Mac OS X, if that's the case we should investigate the possibility of running Poky builds on Mac OS X.

As chrpath only works on Linux this feature depends on use patchelf instead of chrpath, or at least enabling users to pick...
Comment 2 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-03-09 11:00:26 UTC 
This bug specifically tracks the ability to use Poky on Unix variants, i.e. BSD & Mac OS X.
Comment 3 Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-10-20 11:22:26 UTC 
This will likely require general POSIX compliance re: bug 1476 and use of PatchELF for rpath modification re: bug 806 at the very least.

It's highly likely that pseudo changes will also be required.

pseudo now does work on other OSs but there are other issues. I'd really like to mark this "LATER", I'm closing this for now as its not a primary goal of the project. If someone figures it out, great but its not something we're going to do.
