I've been thinking that a nice way to get PCP in the hands of OSX users would be to have a Homebrew formula added:

http://brew.sh/

This package utility is a common place for open source utilities to be installed in OSX, I and many others use it to install and keep up to date things like git, wireshark etc.

To accomplish this it should be very straight forward, here's an example of a Formula:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/etl.rb

I'd like to have a go at this, but first I think I'll need to understand how to build PCP for OSX locally, and then understand enough of the build configuration so that I can get PCP installed in the usual Homebrew locations.

Having said that someone who knows more about building PCP, particularly on OSX, may be better at doing this..

Appendix:

Anyway, thought I'd register this as an issue/idea/enhancement.
