fyi: building SyslogNG snapshot on OSX 10.3.8

23 Feb 2005

      hi all,

i've seen a couple of recent questions onlist re: building on Mac, so i thought 
i'd post my latest notes; the following works great for me.  HTH, but, as 
always, YMMV =)

note:

(a) i'm building from the latest src snapshots
(b) i'm using some updated build tools
(c) i'm linking against an EXTERNAL bind9 build's libs (currently 
bind-9.3.1rc1), rather than Apple's native -lresolv ...

fwiw, my ENV:

	% gcc --version
		gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)
	% glibtool --version
		ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.14 (1.1220.2.195 2005/02/12 12:12:33)
	% automake --version
		automake (GNU automake) 1.9.4
	% autoconf --version
		autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
