How to setup Overo build environment on Mac OS X 10.5.5

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
         I followed the instructions given here gumstix developer site  
- Setting up a build environment , to setup the build environment  
using OpenEmbedded.

In terms of package dependecies, I just ran into 3 missing packages:

a. md5sum, for which I resolved by creating an alias in the /sbin  
directory by typing ln -s md5 md5sum
b. gawk, which I resolved by downloading gawk-3.1.6.tar.gz and running  
the ./configure command, then doing a make -j 2 and sudo make install.
c. help2man, which I resolved by downloading help2man-1.35.1.tar and  
running ./configure --enable-nls=no and doing a make and install.

Now when I run the bitbake omap3-console-image command, it progresses  
for sometime and stops at the following point with a lot of errors:

elvis-dowsons-macbook-pro:gawk-3.1.6 elvis$ bitbake omap3-console-image
NOTE: Psyco JIT Compiler (http://psyco.sf.net) not available. Install  
it to increase performance.
NOTE: Handling BitBake files: | (3416/6265) [54 %]ERROR: Information  
not available for target 'i386-darwin'

My Mac Book is an Intel Core 2 Duo system, and valid targets are i386  
and x86_64.

Question 01: How can I change this so that bitbake uses i386 as the  
target architecture, rather than i386-darwin?

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
