Далі в доповіді будуть розглянуті подробиці інтероперабельності платформ з Linux Server, Apache Hadoop, Java, PHP, Node.JS, MongoDb, і наостанок дізнаємося про цікаві Open Source-розробки Microsoft Research. OpenSource Software in Mac OS X V. Zhhuta UK2 LImIted t/a VPS.NET, [email protected] Max OS X stem from Unix: bSD. It contains a lot of things that are common for Unix systems. Kernel, filesystem and base unix utilities as well as it's own package managers. It's not a secret that Mac OS X has a bSD kernel Darwin. The raw Mac OS X won't provide you with all power of Unix but this could be easily fixed: install package manager. There are 3 package manager: MacPorts, Fink and Homebrew. To dive in OpenSource world of mac os x we would try to install lates version of bash, bash-completion and few other utilities. Where we should start? First of all you need to install on you system dev-tools: Xcode – native development tools that contain GCC and libraries. Next step: bring a GIU – X11 into your system. Starting from Mac OS 10.8 X11 is not included in base-installation and it's need to install Xquartz(http://xquartz.macosforge.org). Now it's time to look closely to package managers MacPorts Site: www.macports.org Latest MacPorts release: 2.1.3 Number of ports: 16740 MacPorts born inside Apple in 2002.
