[syslog-ng] Error while making on Mac OS X Tiger

[OpenMacNews]

hi tristan,

i'm building on OSX 10.4.1 ...

you'll need to make a couple of changes to configure.in (see below) ... for 
completeness, i'm including my start-to-finish notes:

LIBOL

setenv LIBOL_LOC "http://www.balabit.com/downloads/syslog-ng/1.6/src-snapshot"
setenv LIBOL_VER "libol-0.3.16+20050524"

wget $LIBOL_LOC/$LIBOL_VER.tar.gz
gnutar zxvf $LIBOL_VER.tar.gz

unsetenv CFLAGS CPPFLAGS CXX CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS LDDLFLAGS LD_PREBIND 
EXTRA_LDFLAGS EXTRA_LIBS LC_ALL LANG LINGUAS

cd /usr/ports/$LIBOL_VER

glibtoolize --force --copy
aclocal
automake --foreign --add-missing
autoheader
autoconf

./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local \
--enable-shared \
--enable-static

make
make install
unsetenv LIBOL_LOC LIBOL_VER

SYSLOG-NG

setenv SYSLOGNG_LOC 
"http://www.balabit.com/downloads/syslog-ng/1.6/src-snapshot"
setenv SYSLOGNG_VER "syslog-ng-1.6.7+20050524"

cd /usr/ports
wget $SYSLOGNG_LOC/$SYSLOGNG_VER.tar.gz
gnutar zxvf $SYSLOGNG_VER.tar.gz
cd /usr/ports/$SYSLOGNG_VER

NOTE: i'm building against an external BIND9 install ...

unsetenv CFLAGS CPPFLAGS CXX CXXFLAGS LDFLAGS LDDLFLAGS LD_PREBIND 
EXTRA_LDFLAGS EXTRA_LIBS LC_ALL LANG LINGUAS
setenv LDFLAGS "-bind_at_load -L/usr/local/bind9/lib -llwres -lbind9"
setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/usr/local/bind9/include"
