With homebrew installed, you just run "brew install kawa" to get Kawa
1.14, and "brew install --devel kawa" to get the latest 1.90.
Would this be a reasonable change to http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Binary-distribution.html
(using texinfo format)?
On MacOs, if you have @uref{brew.sh,Homebrew} installed, get Kawa by doing:
@example
$ brew install kawa
@end example
or to get the development version do:
@example
$ brew install--devel kawa
@end example
Though note that 1.90 is actually the current release - at least the other
links from the web site point to that. And I assume ideally --devel should
link to binaries built from a svn (or soon: git) check-out from some automated
build server.
Ideally a binary install should also include the kawa "wrapper" program.
That might be more difficult, at least if using the binary kawa program.
A shell script can provide most of the functionality, though readline
support does need a binary; it could use rlwrap or similar if available.
If we have a build-server for Mac, it could build the kawa wrapper program.
Also: Do we need any Mac-specific instructions/advice about building
from source on MacOs? I.e. similar to what we have for Windows in
