  • Installing Corkscrew on Mac OS X 10.5

    Posted on March 13th, 2009 david 1 comment

    So I wanted to get around a proxy that was really bothering me. It would not allow me to get ssh access out of the network that I am in. After talking to a mate of mine that is a big Linux head (especially Debian) I decided to look into Corkscrew.
    It seems to do the trick nicely, allowing me to tunnel ssh through a HTTP Proxy.
    So to install it on Mac OS X 10.5.6

    Step 1. Getting the Source and Other Tools

    The first thing to do is to get the source for corkscrew so that it can be complied for your platform (I had a very quick look for some binaries for OS X, but no joy).

    Next you will need the gcc compiler…This is included in the XCode Tools that come with OS X 10.5 on Disk 2 and can be install from there…You only need this if you do not have gcc install already
