[ODE] Building on MacOSX (and now Linux)

[Ryan Gardner]

On Mac OS X, a big part of the problem is that the default Automake  
installed is version 1.6.3 - which is older than the 1.8 required to  
build the things in ODE.

If you have Darwin Ports installed - here's how you fix the problem.

First:
Get automake 1.9.6 installed in your ports bin directory:

sudo port install automake

Then you need to get rid of the automake in your /usr/bin/ so it  
doesn't use that one by default... I just renamed it to be safe

sudo mv /usr/bin/automake /usr/bin/automake--OLD

You will have to then either open a new terminal or reload bash to  
make it not keep trying to use the original automake.

After that - the autogen.sh will work just fine on Mac OS X (for me  
at least)...

The make process goes much further for me then - but still hangs up  
when trying to build anything that needs GL/gl.h or GL/glu.h...
"drawstuff.cpp:44:19: error: GL/gl.h: No such file or directory"
