For testing purposes (before putting it on a Linux server), I would like to install the Overpass API on Mac OS X (El Capitan). According to the changelog it should also build on a Mac. However, the installation guide is only given for Ubuntu. I would follow these instructions, however homebrew cannot find the packages libexpat1-dev and zlib1g-dev. What can I do?

If you follow the instructions at: overpass-api.de/no_frills.html, "Software Installation" this will work on a Mac provided you build with: make CXXFLAGS="-O3" CPPFLAGS="-DNATIVE_LARGE_FILES"

Error: I still get an error saying "ld: library not found for -lrt" though. Is there a way to get around this?

Oh! I forgot that problem. This will happen about 6 times in the build. The way I worked around it is each time that make stops with this error, copy & paste the last gcc command line (these spread over more than one line) and delete the "-lrt", then hit return. When it finishes, re-type "make CXXFLAGS="-O3" CPPFLAGS="-DNATIVE_LARGE_FILES"

BTW: We have an issue for this. Please follow up here: https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/issues/216

Well, that's really only a workaround. Better would be to address this in https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/blob/master/src/configure.ac#L21 and recreate the build environment. Result: no more manual fiddling. Anyone with a mac here who is brave enough to test this and update the github issue i mentioned? A patch could be similar to this one: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-commit/2013-February/041707.html

Tried it, same failure:

ld: library not found for -lrt clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make[2]: [bin/osm3s_query] Error 1 make[1]: [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2

Did you also run autoscan, aclocal, autoheader, libtoolize, automake --add-missing, autoconf (see Installation option 2) before running configure and make again?

No. These steps are not mentioned in the Installation page. I tried this (BTW, no libtoolize, but ran glibtoolize). Same failure.

no_frills.html is targetting more the official releases. I recommend to check this Wiki page as well.

Thanks to Travis CI I now have a working build on Mac OS X without any manual tweaks: https://travis-ci.org/mmd-osm/Overpass-API/builds/97856095

Please retest with the changes described here - except for the .travis.yml maybe, which is only in my branch.
