With

jenbooks bringing her laptop to work and Phoenix being brought down for thunderstorms, I figured it was time to remove hotwayd and allow each of the Macs to pull their own Hotmail instead of deferring it to Phoenix.

$ tar zxf hotwayd*
$ cd hotwayd-0.8.4; ./configure

hmmm, so far so good.

$ make

Nuts. Those warnings don't look so hot. Hey, didn't something have problems dynamic linking on OS X?

$ LDFLAGS=-static ./configure

Urk. That didn't work, what were those errors again?
$ ./configure;make

Hmmm. Nothing on Google, nothing on their forums. What the heck
$ sudo make install

Whadda know, it worked. Some more digging on how to turn it on, and hey, OS X is xinetd. Piece o' cake. Edit the xinetd file that came with the tar and give it to xinetd.

$ sudo cp ~rob/hotwayd-0.8.4/hotwayd.xinetd /etc/xinetd.d/
$ sudo xinetd

Whadda mean no services enabled? Stupid computer.
$ man xinetd

Whoopsie.
$ sudo mv /etc/xinetd.d/hotwayd.xinetd /etc/xinetd.d/hotwayd
$ sudo xinetd

WOOHOO! Works like a charm. After a minor mishap with caps lock and trying to remember my password, installed on

jenbooks computer as well.
