Bastille on Mac OS X

Bastille for Tiger is in Beta!

Bastille supports OSX through the tarball only.

If you are running Jaguar (OS X 10.2), STOP and read the OS X 10.2 instructions.

Bastille requires X support if you want to run the GUI configurator. To run in such an environment, follow the instructions below:

Instructions 1. Download the OSX tarball from the Bastille OSX: Bastille-OSX-beta-100106.tgz
2. Uncompress the file, like so:

 tar -xzvf Bastille-OSX-beta-100106.tbz2

3. Run the install script, like so:

 cd Bastille && sh bin/Install-OSX.sh

4. Confirm that you have perl-Tk installed.
5. Start up an X Server.
6. Run bastille -x.

We're working on doing the following work on the OS X side- please feel free to volunteer help:
