Building FreeRadius 2.0 on Mac OS X fails

[Info]

Walter,

I've overcome these problems on Tiger and offer these points in hopes  
it works on Leopard as well:

1] in my experience, rlm_perl doesn't like apple's perl install -  
haven't had the time to really figure out why, but installing my own  
build (tested with threaded/shared and w/o threads/static versions)  
of 5.8.8 and pointing to it does the trick. Once you've got your own  
perl installed, add this in your ./configure flags :

PERL5LIB={your prefix}/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-*

2] on linking to mysql, assuming you have a version 5.x.x install try :
--with-mysql-lib-dir={your prefix}/lib/mysql5/mysql
--with-mysql-include-dir={your prefix}/include/mysql5

Note, my installs of perl and mysql have been done via the macports  
system, so you'll want to double-check your paths against what i've  
shown here.

Hope this helps!

Jim

P.S.: Another important thing, freeradius' default configure is set  
up to try to install all stable modules, but without strict  
dependencies. So modules that aren't necessary for basic  
functionality will fail (to build) silently if you're missing  
libraries they need (including, unixodbc, postgresql, mysql, kerberos).

Hi,

I'm trying to build the current version of freeradius on my Mac OS X  
10.5 Intel 64bit computer.

First, I have troubles with the configure script. Even if I show the  
script my exact location of the MySQL include files using --with- 
mysql-include-dir and similar, I'm getting warnings that mysql.h has  
not been found and that the MySQL module will be disabled. BTW: This  
also happens on my Debian server, where MySQL is installed in the  
standard directories.

Then, when running make, I'm getting the following error:
ranlib: archive member: .libs/rlm_perl.a(DynaLoader.a) fat file for  
cputype (18) cpusubtype (0) is not an object file (bad magic number)
ar: internal ranlib command failed

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help!
Walter
