Qore is now available from MacPorts. MacPorts is an open-source community-driven project for automated installation and maintenance (upgrades) of open-source software on Darwin and Mac OS X.
MacPorts is great for easily compiling, installing, and upgrading open-source software on Macs. To install MacPorts on your Mac, look here.
Once MacPorts has been installed, you'll need to update your port list to get the Qore port with:
prompt% sudo port selfupdate
Then, just type the following command to download, compile, and install qore:
prompt% sudo port install qore
To install a Universal binary of Qore, type
prompt% sudo port install qore +universal
Note that you will need Universal binaries of all dependent packages (libz, pcre, libxml2, openssl, libbz2), and if you already have any of these installed and they are not Universal binaries, you will have to replace them with Universal versions or the MacPorts install command above will fail.
