Hi,

Does anyone know what mods I need to make to the makefile to get GLFW to build on an Intel mac? Using make macosx-gcc generates these errors:

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `default’.

On a fresh download of the package, I ran make macosx-gcc and it worked fine

Did you copy the tree from another system where it had already been built?
