Has anyone successfully compiled TCC on OS X?
From what I know it should be possible but when I run make I get the following error:
$ make
gcc -o tcc tcc.c -DTCC_TARGET_I386 -O2 -g -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -mpreferred-stack- boundary=2 -march=i386 -falign-functions=0 -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-sign-compare -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 -lm -ldl
tcc.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
tcc.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
tcc.c:1: error: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is not between 4 and 12
make: *** [tcc] Error 1
./configure runs fine and gives the following output:
$ ./configure

Creating config.mak and config.h
I'm pretty sure the issue is something simple, but I haven't compiled enough programs on OS X to be aware of the pratfalls...
The primary purpose for installing TCC was to get libtcc so I could start experimenting with dynamic code generation from Ruby (in case that makes a difference :-p)
Thanks!
Answer
I have just spent some serious time trying to make tcc run on osx. I have included several fixes, including the one from the answer above, and now they are all in the development repository at http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git. Building, some tests and all examples should work.
I am not sure if you are aware, but http://bellard.org/tcc/ site that belongs to Fabrice Bellard who started this project, is not being updated very regularly. Mostly because there are not many 'official' tcc releases. tcc is one of those projects that mostly lives off of live sources and updates. So if you want to give this another try, please go to http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git and get the 'mob' branch (not 'master'). Please see http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git for details, and do join the mailing list to get involved.
