how to install Wt on Mac OS

What is Wt?

Wt (pronounced 'witty') is a C++ library for developing interactive web applications.

In July 2009, I tried installing Wt 2.99.2.  Right away I realized this was not going to be a simple task. I had to retry installing it a few times, so I kept notes of what I tried so that I would know what I did once I finally got it working. After a few days, I still hadn't got it working. I had trouble getting Wt to find my boost installation. The problem turned out to be that I did not do an 'install' command. Several different ways and options were given for installing and I did not understand the differences. Such as the difference between the build and the install.

Finally, at the end of December, I tried again. There was a new version of Wt (3.0.0), so I downloaded it.

The following shows you what I saved as my successful steps to installing Wt on Mac OS X version 10.5.8.  These steps could be improved and are not meant to be the ideal path, but are here to help anyone like me who searched the web to find how to install Wt on Mac OS.

registered with K and M

Yesterday I got a call from K & M Promotions. I had applied online May 25th but didn't hear anything from them until yesterday (7/1). Since I'm free (as in beer?), I went ahead and made an appointment to see them and register the very next day.

I had choice of morning at 10:30 or afternoon at 13:30. Because my sleep schedule is way off again, I took the afternoon time slot. I probably slept less than 5 hours.

I took my suit to the dry cleaners and picked it up by 11:30 in the morning and went directly to the station. The trains were late and so I got to my destination late. Plus my clothing bag is so heavy, so I took a taxi from the station. The driver couldn't make change for 10,000 yen so I had to put the fare on the credit card.

I made it to the office on time. When I registered, I received a good explanation of the system and they took my measurements. They also took a lot of good pictures as well, so I hope some turn out well. My hair was not so good though. The rain makes it curl at the end. But hopefully I can get some good jobs.

I think the agency does mostly modeling and TV commercial work. In total, it took 2 hours to register. Of course it took me 2 hours to get there and 2 hours to get back. I walked back to the train station. It's about 11 or 12 hundred meters. The subway station is closer but I don't want to pay the extra fare. Subways are underground. So you do a lot of walking to get down there and then to come back up.

I registered with Avocado today as well. I took a picture of the entrance of each place but the first one I failed to save the photo. I am still learning how to use my phone.

I also went over to see where D-XIM is and took a picture of their placard.

At Group Echo, registration took about an hour and 10 minutes. First I filled out a form. Then I heard all about the company and saw their company brochure. They took some pictures of me and took my measurements. Also they recorded my voice. I had to read a few sentences of a news article and then an advertisement for a pub. Then I was told about the parts they are recruiting for right now for a movie.

At Avocado, registration took about 25 minutes. I filled out a form, got measured, and pictures were taken. That was pretty much it.

Next week I'll do more of the same!
