So, I have no recipe for home-brew, but I use the attached as

You mind if I put this tutorial into the Flent docs?

Not at all; I am not sure whether a) this is the minimal set and b)
whether it fully works as advertised, so maybe waiting for Richards
potential success/failure report might be prudent?

The homebrew part turned out to be pretty easy.

Edit the netperf.rb file to include --enable-demo

Then:

brew install netperf.rb --build-from-source

What was much more involved was getting the Mac to a place where you could actually build programs. Have to update Xcode, agree to license agreements, and then install command line tools.

'brew doctor'

Is super helpful in sorting all that out.  I see why they had to create it.

BUT, The netperf compile will fail when using --enable-demo.  See here:

http://www.netperf.org/pipermail/netperf-talk/2013-December/001160.html

So in the end I had to resort to extracting the tarball and editing the source to remove the inline on the problematic functions and then good ol' ./configure; make; sudo make install; Which surprisingly worked. I think thats because 'brew doctor' sorted out all the stuff that would have otherwise been broken.

And then finally 'brew install fping'

So now I've got flent working now on the Mac Air.

I should also mention that 'brew install qt' is necessary if you want to show plots.
