Re: [platform-swt-dev] Eclipse on Mac OSX

[John Clayton <neuroboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to install this, but I don't have a clue about most of this 
stuff.  Here's what I've gleaned.  Can someone clarify for me?
1) get X on X installed
2) Get fink installed
3) Use fink to get gnome and WindowMaker
4) get the source from eclipse.org named  eclipse-SDK-20020125-linux-
gtk.zip
5) unstuff being careful of stuffit's truncation problem (don't use it? 
then what?)
6) drop the three libs that Laurent provided into 
plugins/org.eclipse.swt/ws/gtk
7) then what?  run make in the eclipse directory? Laurent seemed to 
suggest using fink.  Is there a fink package for eclipse?  Here's where 
I lose it ... ;-(

Thanks!!
