rlm_perl build on mac osx

[Info]

Alan,

Thanks for your quick response! Yes, I'm aware that apple has  
included FR into Leopard and am curious to see how it works in that  
version of the OS once I move to it eventually. However, for the  
Tiger users of which I'll remain for a while, I'd like to provide  
ease of installation via macports.

Though a build-able 1.1.7 is available via macports right now, it  
needs a patch -- which may be a moot point now that 2.0 is here and  
it fixes the trouble that stripping the binaries (i.e, the  
INSTALLSTRIP -s switch) caused.

I'll look more into the PATH setting for building against 5.10.  
Perhaps adding the PERL5LIB variable in my env will do the trick.

Jim

Hi,

several folk run FreeRADIUS on MacOSX already - and Apple even
have added code themselves - I believe FR is the fundamental
EAP system in eg latest airport/timecapsule product (though
I may be wrong on that aspect of usage! ;-) )

correct. its only for rlm_perl

or likely its a PATH problem and you have to tell it where your 5.10.0
is living.
