I've compiled every version of exim from 4.12 through 4.24 just fine on
my OSX setup (currently I'm running 10.2.8) using darwinports; I've
simply changed the version numbers (exim/exiscan) and checksums in the
port file, and darwinports builds and installs exim without a hitch.
However, 4.30 installation fails when reading the makefile, saying
"couldn't find file for -lresolv" or some such. This is apparently
related to this item from the 4.30 changelog:
16. Added CHOWN_COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown and LIBS=-lresolv to the
OS/Makefile-Darwin file.
Being relatively new to unix and compiling, I really have no idea what
it is not finding. Can anyone who is familiar with Darwin and OSX tell
me what I need to change to allow the compiler to find whatever file
it's looking for?
Any help much appreciated!
