Topic: Has Anyone Run Bitcoin Headless On Mac (Read 6052 times)
Very nice. I'll have to give that a try (or ten). I also posted a solution for those that don't want to try to run headless: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/has-anyone-run-bitcoin-headless-on-mac-2086
Well, I never ran the binaries headless, but I did run it many times by compiling myself. I don't remember the exact steps in fixing dependencies, but using macports it wasn't hard at all, but I did have to muck around the makefile to get the paths correct.
The following is for r156, but should work pretty much unchanged for current svn head, I think. Just make sure paths are correct for you, and you are using 64bit OSX. If you're on 32bit, change the x86_64 to i386 (untested). Also, build with, if you don't specify the target it will try to build bitcoin which is the GUI version.

The title says it all. If you have successfully run bitcoin headless on Mac OS X please share your experience. Or if you think you know how to pull it off please let us know how to make it happen.
The OS X GUI usually lags behind and even when it's up to date with win/linux it doesn't have the Mac OS feel, and I don't think anyone is interested in making that happen at present. The best option I can see would be to just run it sans GUI.
If someone can figure out how to run it headless on Mac OS X I'll try to figure out how to display the details on the desktop using GeekTool and share it here.
