HTML Tidy on Mac

God bless free software providers.  But, oh how painful the installation!!  After slogging through outdated documentation, this is how to download HTML Tidy through cvs on the mac.

Fire up Terminal and enter the following commands:

  • cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@tidy.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tidy login
  • [Press Enter when asked for a password]
  • cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tidy.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tidy export -f -Dnow tidy
Yay!  Now that you have the source…
  1. cd path/of/installed/source
  2. cd build/gmake
  3. make all
  4. sudo make install (I changed the include dir in the makefile first)
